Today is the day for the Molly Lou family to close on our new house.
There have been some "paperwork" issues that may cause us not to close today. I am going to go on a slight rant here. Ready-I.AM.SO.FREAKING.SICK. of people not doing their jobs. When I was a teacher, I stayed until it was finished no matter the time, when Mr. Molly Lou has a deadline, he stays until it is finished...if that means working until 10 and then going back in at 5, then he does it. IT IS HIS JOB. I know those work hours stink and certainly shouldn't become the norm, but seriously, you set a deadline for a project, do it. We sent all paperwork and items as soon as they were asked and now for three days, all I hear is "we're working on it. Trying to plug away. It's with _________ now who is on the last step. It's no problem on your end, just trying to get the pieces to come together." COME ON PEOPLE, we are adults and this childish excuse is making me want to pinch you. HARD. Also, I talked with the paralegal yesterday and the "interesting one" needed to get her some more information and hadn't yet done it-she must not have been able to fit in to her very busy schedule, you know the one without a job, significant other, or children. I guess when you have boobs the size of Connecticut it must take you much longer to wash and therefore cannot have a job. Did I ever tell you that she was regaling us with her medical problems and the most severe being "genetic back problems." Let me just say that I am no doctor, but I am pretty sure there is nothing genetic about her back problems...it couldn't have anything to do with the 20 lbs. of silicone. She asked the paralegal what the balance was on the first mortgage. She doesn't know because she hasn't been paying it. Anyway, she told her and "interesting one" responds with, "Oh, I hoped it might be less. I thought they might feel sorry for me and take some money off." SERIOUSLY.
Keep fingers crossed and say a little prayer that all goes well. You know the realm of possible outcomes that could come from the "interesting one". I wonder what kind of tales she will share with us today. I guarantee them to be WOW Crazy and will share with you asap. I'm sure there will be great stories to share. Any guesses on what she wears to closing?
Mr. Molly Lou and I have a weekend of painting, moving, cleaning, unpacking, oh my! Pack your bags, bring your muscles, and join us!
The minis are off to spend the weekend with Molly Lou sister which means they will probably be in a sugar coma when they return. Perhaps if we don't close, I should still ship them off and enjoy a quiet weekend. Oh, just think of that glorious prospect!
Have a great weekend! Cheers!
PS-I have come to a realization that I say seriously way too much. I apologize for this random and rantful post...Seriously!

Oh no! I hope it all works out. I've got my fingers crossed for you! Did I ever tell you how we almost didn't close on our house right away because husby's name on the paperwork was misspelled? I'm sure everything will end up working out OK...they'll probably get everything finished *just* in time!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for a stress free day! I'm sure she will dress up for the closing -- I can't wait to hear all about it, haha!
