Just a little piece of advice, if you ever start thinking about buying a house "For Sale Buy Owner", don't do it! Though you save a lot of money cutting out the middle man, I have come to the conclusion that the stress is not worth it! I suppose maybe I stress about more things than most people do so that probably makes it worse.
That leads to to ask myself why I sweat the small stuff? Why do I worry about every tiny detail? Does everything always have to be perfect? Obviously it doesn't. I don't expect everyone else to be perfect all the time so why do I expect that of myself? I suppose I'm just made that way. I wonder if you can truly change something that is such a deep part of who you are.
I wish I had Andy's easy going, "Devil may care" attitude. Nothing really gets him too riled up and if it does, he's over it pretty quick.
I try to ask myself, "In a year from now is this really going to matter?" Sometimes that helps, but many times I get to the asking part way too late. I'm already riled up.
Regardless of how hard I want to make things just so-so, the fact is that mostly things will be what they will be and I have little control over those things.

I am the same way!! i think you can work on not sweating the small stuff so much but I think it will always be a part of who you are.... and that isn't always a bad thing!! There are some great qualities that come from being detail orientated!!!! Hang in there sister!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the stress is the same on the seller as it is the buyer but I'm so NOT looking forward to selling our house by owner. I'm hoping I can persuade my sweetie pie to go with a realtor.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you! I'll pray you make it through this with all your hair. :)
J, I used to be that way before the BC. Now I go with the flow, most of the time ;) I just try to take a step back now whereas before, I was freaking out, jumping in with 2 feet all the time. Take a deep, cleansing breath!!
