Our house is finally under contract and we have a closing date of November 30. While it does make me happy, I can’t let myself feel relief yet. I’m just an “I’ll believe it when I see it” type person and I won’t feel real relief until it’s all over.
For example, today the “buyers” and their inspector guy gave our house the once-over. We had no notice this was going to happen today and because I thought “hey, our house is under contract so I don’t have to be such a freak about cleaning anymore” – I decided to clean out our closest last night and sort through pounds of paper I’ve had stashed around the house. Of course, I did not complete those ventures so I have 3 large garbage bags filled with clothes in our room and a basket of papers on our couch with another garbage bag on the floor there.
Also, Andrew found out the husband doesn’t like dogs – well, they met all 80 pounds of Joe-boy today!
This next thing is the most embarrassing one though –
I had a tube of petroleum jelly and a tube of diaper rash cream on our sink in our master bathroom because our kids needed these things last night and I didn’t put them away.
I can only imagine what went through their heads when they saw them.
I just hope the “buyers” don’t change their minds.

That's ridiculous! Their realtor should've let you all know the
inspection was happening today. I know it was annoying, but as long as
it was bags of paper and not bags of termites and rotted support beams
laying around, I'm sure your inspection was fine.
