see saw- taken by Will


see saw, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Kind of brain dead, so I decided to go to the 17th page of my Flickr, find the 17th picture, and blog about it.....today is April 17th isn't it???

Ironically, it is a see saw of the kids that their grandparents got them. But it personifies my day to a T......

UP: Yesterday we received an offer on the house!

DOWN: It was for much less than we have it priced.

UP: Got the counter offer back to the Shine Team by 9AM....thinking we would hear from the potential buyers soon.

DOWN: this afternoon, received a verbal counter-offer, (still not even close to what we want!

UP: They wanted my pot rack, maybe I'll get to keep it!

DOWN: 9 PM, still no hard copy of their counter offer.

UP: It has only been listed since late March.

DOWN: Maybe someone else will want my pot rack, my cool fridge that we just got when we moved here, and the play structure.

UP: I know someone will love my home as much as we do, I just need to be patient.

DOWN: Patience is not my strong suit!

UP: I think that is enough up and down for one day!

Happy Thursday, y'all!

You know, with a see saw, there is always an up when there is a down. Oh, and I guess that works the opposite way as well. We just won't think about that. Good luck with the house!!! Finger crossed!

These things are sent to try us. But I have no doubt that your ride will end on an up swing, Tommie. :)

That picture sure illustrates what you're goping through eh? Hope someone else swoops in with the BIG offer soon...

That was a good post, Tommie - sorry about the offer not being what you want - I hope it works out and SOON!

Take care and have a good day - Kellan

Cool shot and that stinks about the offer - but promising that you at least got one already, right!

Have a great weekend T.

Oooohhh shoot. I do hate selling a house. And people are so bargain hunting. You aren't desperate. And it's just the beginning of the selling season. So....

My fingers and toes are crossed!

Good luck. Selling houses gives me ulcers. I'm not even Catholic but I buried a St Joseph in our yard - it sold. Praise Jesus - for real.
