Well, we attempted to get the house one last time.
We figured that it was kind of foolish to just walk away from something that we really wanted for just $2000 and so we contacted the owners of the house once more to see if they would sell. It initially sounded like it could possibly happen and then the 2pm time that they were going to respond by….well, it came and went.
And so we have walked away. Forever!
We have come to a verbal agreement with the owners of the town home and are waiting to get the paperwork back from them. I’ll admit that I’m nervous seeing as the paperwork had time to come in this evening, BUT……….the couple we are buying from is elderly and so I’m assuming that could mean no e-mail or fax machine to send and/or scan the signed paperwork to us. I’m assuming that the realtor has to go over and give them the paperwork to fill out…..and maybe he was just too busy tonight or maybe he already had plans…..But, seeing as out most recent situation has not left a great taste in our mouths…..Yah, I’m worried….or nervous….or whatever.
We should find out by Monday at the latest – I’m assuming….again with the assuming and the OVER USE of periods……..
It’s so hard to get excited when you don’t feel very certain about the future, BUT…..if we did get this place, then we have possesion on July 9th….and then we have a month to get in and to also get this place up to par…..
We’ve been living here for 9 years. We moved in June 2001 and would be “officially” moving out August 1st….unless a miracle happens and this place can get rented out for July 15th…which I’m not thinking is very likely.
I’d love to be able to get the main floors replaced before we moved in, but again…not sure if that’s a possibility.
Another thing this move (within this time frame) means – is that we can register the kids for the Late French Immersion School and have that all settled before the end of this school year….
Any way, We’ve been packing and decluttering and trying to pare things down. I only want to take the MOST IMPORTANT things….No crap filling up this house.
Well, it has been a long and emotional day and I am going to go to bed.
You’ll all hear when/if we get the place……I’d appreciate a prayer that I’d be able to chill until I know for certain. It’s getting a little dicey inside my brain.
Thanks!
Woh! I haven’t checked back and have missed your house saga! Sending you “chill” vibes, Patti. I hope everything works out for the best.
Very cool! I can hardly wait to hear what happens!
>> we can register the kids for the Late French
>> Immersion School
If the school is not your local one (ie: they are not “forced” to have a spot for you), then you might have already missed the registration. When I talked to the closest french immersion school near our house, they told me that telephone registration is in January of the same year, and this year, spaces filled out within 30 minutes, with a waiting list of over 50 kids. 🙁
That being said.. I hope you get the townhouse, and I hope the kids can get registered! I’ll be praying. 🙂
We have a unique situation and have already contacted the school and there shouldn’t be any problems.
Because Geli is already in the Late French Imm. Program if there is a spot open in Grade 7 in the program in Walnut Grove then she is already qualified and accepted because she is not “entering” the program she is transferring. So because of that we have “an in”.
They do actually happen to have spots left in Grade 6 as well which gets Xandra in as well, AND…yes the school is cross boundary BUT the weirdest thing is that it is actually closer to our house than the school that the kids “should” go to. And because I have 2 kids that will be going to that school, they’ve said that there will be formalities to getting Jeremy in, but that it is very hard to refuse him when his other 2 siblings are there….
They’ve said that when we know where we are living to come in and fill out all the paperwork as they don’t see any of it being a real “issue”.
It is different when you are attempting to get into Kindergarten…we’ve been there. Spent the night sleeping in the van to get our kids into another “choice” school – the Traditional school….and now we are not even a part of them any more…waste of time and effort….
