Frustration

I am full of frustration when it comes to our house. We were supposed to be closing on our home today and instead we are not. Apparently the bank needs more time, or maybe the buyer is having second thoughts, or maybe its because we have had snow for the past 2 weeks nonstop (ok its probably not that last one but snow for 2 weeks sucks). Either way our house is not closing today. And of course as you know from my previous posts we are still showing the house and we have had 5 showings in 4 days with 3 of those showings being this morning from 10am-1pm. It is very hard to entertain a 2 year old in a car for 3 hours. On top of finding out that the house isnt closing today I also found out that the 2 homes that were on my list for us to place an offer on already have offers on the table and they could possibly be gone by the time we close on our house. The last thing we want is to put an offer on another house and in the end not close on ours right away and have 2 mortgages. If we arent able to put an offer on another house it puts me right back at square one and I hate square one. I knew going into this process that it would be frustrating, that it would be more difficult than just purchasing our first house because we didnt have one at that time to sell, I knew that it would take longer, however, what I didnt expect is that I would rather pull each and every one of the hairs on my head out with dull tweezers that takes more than one pull to actually get it out of my head because that would be less painful and atleast I would know the results at the end.
