patience - i have none!


i hate moving. i mean i absolutely HATE moving!!!! i told todd that when we bought this house in the 'shoe that we weren't going to move every again. i had to eat my words. i hate being wrong, too. but, if we knew then what we know now, we wouldn't be in this predicament. so, four of the seven days a week, i am home in the 'shoe with christopher while todd goes to his new job in the Hub City and stays with relatives until we can sell our house/buy a house. at first i thought it was putting a strain on our marriage, but now, i realize i cherish the time i get to spend with him when he is here on his days off (not to mention that he gets to deal with christopher instead of me!!!)
i am not a patient person, so selling houses is not for me, especially in a town where there are 100 (give or take a few!) houses for sale at the same time and when new residents are coming in not wanting to buy but to rent. buying a house isn't easy either. the backyard is too small. the bathrooms are horrible. there is no garage. there is no fireplace. the neighborhood is not the greatest. i am too picky, but i figure if i am willing to spend bookoos of money on a house, i have the right to be picky. people tell me the right person will come along and buy our house and then in turn we will find the perfect house in the Hub City for us. any chance of that happening like, tomorrow?
