Thank you so much for indulging me in my whiny, my life is so tough because I have a BLAWG blog. Once again, your comments hit the nail on the head. It's okay to step back and take a breath. This is a hobby after all.
The bottom line is work is killing me. I am in trial after trial after trial the next couple weeks and I was stressing a bit. I was started to feel like I was under water and I could not breath. And apparently whiny blog posts is how I handle stress.
You know how else I handle stress? Signing up for more stress. See, um, we decided to maybe, kinda, sorta, explore moving. I have only wanted to do this since THE DAWN OF FREAKIN' TIME. I just got Doug to come around. We are meeting with a Realtor this weekend and it looks like this is actually happening. Because what I need is something else to stress about.
I really do like my new countertops, and I love my dishwasher. But the rest of this house, I hate with a burning passion. Not that there is anything wrong with it, it is just too small for us. But hey, if you know anyone who is looking for a townhouse in the Washington DC Metro area in a great school district, email me. I'll cut them a break, I promise.

stress on top of more stress? Sounds like a plan!
Oh hooray! I’m so glad you are at least looking at it, I know how much you want a new place.
Good luck selling your home! Nothing has stressed me out more than that in my life!!! Hopefully you’ll have success. It is truly an excellent time to buy. We are saving TONS on our new house and never could have afforded the same house before this recession. Sure, we had to sell our house for a little less than we wanted to, but it paid off big time on the purchase of our new house. TOTALLY worth it! We definitely came out ahead.
Here’s a blog post my realtor wrote about buying and selling in this market, if you want to check it out. I’m even quoted in it:

Wow, moving. That’s huge. I hope you find something you like!
I’ve been whiny lately too and I don’t even have a stressful job on top of being a parent, like you.
Glad you’re feeling better about blogging
And I hope that your stress is relieved by moving, instead of increased.
My next door neighbor’s house is for sale.
And I babysit.
