I so desperately want to keep my three or four readers around so I must post something...anything...and yet I cannot for the life of me think of anything of interest to write about.
It's a weak attempt, but here goes...
The Swede and I struggled with the idea of moving. I was torn with what the right thing was for our family. Being the worrier that I am, I over-think most everything and in my mind even simple decisions lead to serious consequences. Imagine the pressure I put on myself to make the right decision when it came to altering our lives. I put it in God's hands. "Lead us in the direction that is best for us." "Give me an sign to help me make a decision one way or another."
Since then we've had...
• a moldy attic ($$$$$)
• a leaky roof
• a burned out furnace ($$$)
• a blizzard (or two)
• a traveling husband (who forgot to give me access to our snowblower while he was away)
• two sick children (home 10 of the last 14 school days. Did I mention I'm frantically busy?)
• near-death dog crisis ($$$$)
Do you think God is trying to tell us something?
I see us leaving the house for the final time, closing the door, and having the whole house collapse into a huge pile of debris behind us.

Being an obsessive person I can relate to your mind being focused on your move.. it's a "life altering" decision after all.
I don't feel like I have thought something out good until I have beat it with a stick and covered every possible scenario imaginable.
I'm sure you will make the right decision for you and your family. It's just the torture of it all until you do that bites.
Good luck with it all.. and best wishes to you whatever you decide.
Well, seeing as we have bought a new home and sold our existing one, I'm going to take it that God is saying, "Get out!! Get out NOW!!
Hang in there....you are doing the right thing, as God has guided you this way, not to mention is IS what you all want. Hopefully one year from now you will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. They say that moving is one of lifes biggest stress builders, so all you can do is take a deep breath and pray for it to be done with!! We moved 6 months ago and I wondered all of those same things, and now realize it was the best thing for us and I am so glad we did. Again, hang in there....it won't be long.....

My first command is that you correct your use of "an" sign to "a" sign.
I will get to the house issue later, once I decide the World Series winners, Super Bowl outcomes and all that other serious stuff.

I'm sure God will forgive me for my typo.
Impersonating Him? Now that's another story.
And don't think for a second I don't know who is playing "God."
Just so you know, it is not your husband. The Swede is truly one of my favorites. All good things should be bestowed upon him. I can use bestow because...... hey, I'm God.
What God is trying to tell you actually doesn't matter in this case. The fact of the matter is that the sales/purchase contracts tell you that you WILL deliver your current house to the buyer in an agreed upon condition AND that you WILL go through with the purchase of your future home lest you forfeit your earnest money.
