Couldn't sleep.

So I didn't fall asleep until a little after 2:30am PST or more and then I woke up at 6something am and then again a short while ago. It's hard putting my thoughts together. Today is the day for my mom's open house. I don't think our realtor promoted the open house like she should have since they aren't that big of a deal in Fresno/Clovis. They are in Madera though. I hope everything goes well since the sooner she sells her house the better for us.

I was sure I gave Nuttz a link to the new homes I want to live in, but seems I didn't. We are most likely going to buy their Camden one story. It's cheaper, still very nice and plenty of room for my husband and I. It would be really nice if we could buy their Primrose series. It's kind of funny that these are two of their cheapest homes and yet I love the floor plans and layouts of these the best. The other homes I am going to look into are the Bonadelle homes and the McMillin homes. A co-worker told me how she used to play softball/baseball on the corner across from where the McMillin homes are built and the neighbordhood wasn't very good at all. It makes me question the neighborhood. Is it really safe or does it just look safe. They aren't in a gated community so it makes me wonder. It would also mean we'd need a security system to get the same home insurance discount we would in the Wathen and Castanos homes. Also while the Wathen and Castanos homes are farther from both of our work there are freeways nearby. The other two homes are just farther and the freeways aren't very close by.

It's all just a waiting game right now. If we can't get the money together in time then we're stuck. I've been looking at older homes and it's sad. The ones I like are too far away or in a crap neighborhood. The ones in the right neighborhood are going for the same price or more then a new home. It's crazy if you ask me. I refuse to buy an older home for the same cost of a new one!

I never got my review before the President went on vacation. Now I have to wait for a week until he returns and even then it's still up in the air about when it will happen. At least I'm not worried at work about it, but I'm sure once he comes back that will all change and I'll be the stressed out nervous wreck I was before he left. I can't help, but worry about it since I've been screwing up lately. It seems that he wasn't told about them though since I kind of mentioned how I have screwed up lately and my boss who talked to me those times gave me a "don't say anything about it" type of look. I figured the President knew since...well he's the President. I guess he doesn't.

I got to see the inside of where my office will be moving to. It's nice, but it's going to be a pain going to and from work. It's a long drive so I'll have to take my lunch everyday or eat out, no more going home and watching Star Trek Voyager episodes. *sigh* My space will not be cut, but everyone who has an office right now will. I have a feeling that my desk top space will be cut down a lot. While the square cubicals have more room, they have less desk top space. I need my desk top space! I'll just have to make due, like I had to when I was promoted. I miss my reception desk since it had a TON of space.

Ok enough of my ramblings. Time to clean the house and do some laundry before my mom comes over today. I'm going to drag her around to some homes to get her opinion of them since my husband hates to window shop and he really hates to window shop for homes. He wants us to pay off more on our credit cards before we think of buying a house. He's right and we will, but if we can afford to do it why not? It will take 1-2 months for the escrow so by the time we've bought the house I hope to have 2-3 of our credit cards paid off.
