First the good news.......

My mom's sister died 3 years ago this month and we have be trying to sell her house ever since.  We finally got a offer (tons less than we were asking but we want to be rid of the house) and today dad got a call from the real estate agent.  We need to go to the lawyer by Friday to sign the papers and everything will be over on Monday!!!!  I am so happy. 

Dad has been spending money on that house-- paying taxes, electric bill, having the yard mowed, etc..... so it is great to finally get it off our hands.

The next best part:  The plan all along has been to take the money from the sale of the house and use it to pay off my house!  Oh yeah!!!  Can't image not having to make house payments.  But I can really use the money towards other things.  My mom was paying my cable/internet bill and for my visits to the shrink ($75 a visit), dad is trying to help on those things but it is best if I can find a way to work it out by myself.  With no house payments it will be much easier.

WOO HOO!

On the bad part of life:

I still haven't heard from my brother.  Maybe I should call him again.  Maybe not.  I just don't know.

My birthday is coming up next week and it is already hard trying to decide on how to celebrate it without mom.  It is really hard.  I know I will get through it somehow but at the moment it doesn't feel like it.

That is life for sure a little bad with the good.  Glad you will have your house paid for.  It does make a difference.  In case I don't get back to you on your birthday, I want to say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'.  Try and make it a good day.  Hopefully you'll think of something great to do so you can celebrate.  'On Ya' - ma
