Even the site of this picture makes me queasy.
Have I mentioned that I can't stomach roller coasters?
Cause I can't.
Last time I rode a roller coaster was probably 10 years ago. Although I was hungover during our trip, I think it was the roller coasters that made me feel like vomiting.
I remember getting off of the ride, finding the nearest tree and dry heaving for a good 10 minutes.
That's kinda how this weekend was for me.
It started with the drama on Friday afternoon and the typical selfish STBE acts.
*click click up the hill*
Add to that the unknown of what the offer on the house was and what it meant to be told it's complicated.
*click click getting closer*
I did a holy shit, I need to find out where the kids and I are going to move to freak out.
*swoosh down the hill, through the loopy loop*
Saturday we met with our realtor. Whom I love to here and back, er there and back. Especially compared to Mr Miata, ass.
*click click click*
The contract WAS complicated...and ridiculous.
*swoosh, loop*
We could have walked or counter offer. We did the latter.
*click click*
Anyway.
STBE and I exchanged words.
*click click click*
Rush of tears, heart pounding, vomit threatening to project.
*down the hill*
I hate that rush of anger, that out and out rage of anger.
*hits bottom of hill*
Sunday, I'm sitting at a baseball game. Phone rings.
*click click click*
It's the lovely Realtor, "Congratulations!" She says, they accepted the offer.
*sits at top hill, elated*
"If the house passes all inspections this is a done deal" she exclaims.
*swoosh down the hill*
Universe? Are you there? It's me Stacie again...you know the routine.
*loopy loop*
totally visualize what you mention... and that's how i would feel too...
ReplyDeleteThings will get better, like you said.
Oh I am so glad they took the offer! Hopefully you just ride the kiddie train from here on out.
ReplyDeleteso glad you got an offer to the house...that has to be a load of the mind...i hope you will be able to find something...
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW!! What a ride indeed! Congrats for selling the house - I'm so happy for you! I know it's a big, big change but your friends in the blog-o-verse are here for you. We support you 100%! Here's to you!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a quick and painless escrow. I am so sorry. And it sucks monkey balls.
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy. I know exactly what you mean. I feel like this a lot.
ReplyDeleteSo close to being able to get off the damn ride! Yeah You!

CLEANSING
BREATH
Good for you, it should feel like a load off your shoulders.
You and the kids will find a nice place to live, and you can be at peace!
I love the connection you made to the roller coast feelings and the roller coaster of emotions. I swear you are so good at explaining what I so often am thinking. I am excited that you just need to make it through inspection...piece of cake. I'm crossing my fingers.
ReplyDeleteFantastic about the house. Maybe you should go on some roller coasters to celebrate?
ReplyDeleteFor me, roller coasters are great, but I could never hack roundabouts. They make me puke and give me a pounding headache.
I would tell that the wackiness of this blog made me vomit at the end too, but I wouldn't want you to take it the wrong way, because I really like this blog...hahaha!
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY for the offer!
ReplyDeleteStacie, I know that sinking feeling in my gut. Life is the roller coaster. And sometimes it seems that I'll never get to the leveling out spot on the ride. Glad that things went well with the house offer.
ReplyDeleteGreat way of telling the story - although, I sorta wish the vomiting on the STBE was true. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI hope that it is all a kiddie coaster from now on.
I totally know that exact rollercoasterish feeling you are talking about when shit happens in your life. Your stomach really does drop out. The only difference is that I love love love rollercoasters, the real ones, not the emotional ones. Anyway, I'm positive that things will turn out awesome with the inspection. Then you will be free to buy the house next to me. I'll notify the block watch.
ReplyDeleteyay on the house!
ReplyDeleteNO showings for us yet...not even one!
I HATE buying and selling homes... you are much much stronger than me, tears and vomit and all...I just simply shut down during negotiations and cry. Wuss I am!
Good luck on the house inspection!
