Stress

This whole house-buying thing is really getting to me. It seems like every day I find out about some new hitch or worse, some new expense. $500 here and $1000 there doesn't seem like so much when you're talking about the expense of a house, but when I am dropping pretty much a major majority of the money I own on housing us, the little bits add up and I start having to configure in my head: Do I buy title insurance or a washing machine? Can I afford X or do I need a sofa? I just want to cry all the time.

Thankfully the closing is on Monday and one way or another it will be over. But I am NOT thrilled with the process. I don't like that the lawyer e-mails Jen without CCing me. And I don't like that we're supposed to make a decision about title insurance and yet no one has mentioned such a thing before. And I don't like that I am paying HUGE sums of money and yet it is not enough, there is more money to be paid and then there needs to be some furniture and a washer/dryer and the furnace repair and wallpaper removed and the dishwasher installed and the homeowners insurance pre-paid for a year (that was the other day's surprise) and on and on and on.

It's far too much for me.

Okay, so thanks for the major vote of confidence because I /really/ appreciate it and could really use it. Most of the time I have NO idea how on earth we are going to pull all of this off. Especially when the whole 'twins' possibility was always sort of out there but didn't seem like something that would happen to us. (Which I guess is exactly why it DID.)

I suppose if we emerge out the other side still loving each other, I will call it all a MAJOR success.
