I'm feeling a little down

Summerly2 · March 2009

...about the prospects of selling our house. Our neighbors really suck (on both sides) and I'm really thinking this is going to be really bad. When people come to look at our house, that's the garbage they're going to see and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I've known it would be like this, but now that the For Sale sign is up, it's really hitting me.

I'm pissed at our HOA b/c they've been absolutely useless. I thought part of their job was to help protect property values, but I can't even tell you how useless they've been. I just got off the phone with them again and it always irritates me. And I'm kind of pissed at myself for not somehow knowing this would happen. We drove around this neighborhood a dozen times (at all different times of day) before we bought and NO red flags. And yet here we are. And I'm sad to think about not only is my little boy starting K in the fall, I don't want to have to move him; I want to be settled by then. And apparently they're starting July 29 (!), so it's not really that far away. Crying
