Step Away From the Cake

I got up this morning with the plan of having my coffee then going to workout. I was sitting at my desk reading blogs finishing my coffee when the phone rang. It was my Realtor. Our offer had been accepted. We are buying a house. Holy Crap!!! I immediately started thinking about all the things we had to do and I started looking into getting them done. I, of course, do not want to wait until the last minute but I don't need to do everything right this second. I quickly realized that I am sick to my stomach and have a raging headache. I think a little corner of my mind thought there was no way they would accept this crazy offer. But they did!!!! I'm buying a house and I think I need to go throw up now. We've been really watching our money the last year or so because we knew we were going to do this eventually but this is a little sooner than planned. That's what happens when you find the perfect house, you have to jump on it. So there are a few more hurdles ...

So I need to rest tonight so I have no excuse tomorrow.

Since Friday my stomach has been upset and I've been slightly nauseous. It's been pretty bad. Last night it got real bad. I had horrible gas and really thought I was going to throw up. This morning I woke up - early - still feeling pretty much the same way. I was really antsy and felt completely out of sorts. I finally ate some breakfast and that helped a lot. Then it dawned on me what was going on. Stress. I have my final stuff for my teaching certification due on what I thought was Tuesday and there is a lot to do still. Also, and I didn't want to say anything until we had a deal but, we've put an offer in on a house. It's perfect for us. It is exactly what we want, small house that needs some work but is livable, on a good sized lot. It's so perfect and it's in our price range and I want it. Bad. We were supposed to hear today but I haven't heard a word yet. I'm freaking out and that is a lot of the stress. Buying a house. Having to ...
