We are supposed to close tomorrow, May 28. Originally, we were scheduled for 10 am. I had a babysitter and all was well. Then my friend had to go out of town suddenly, so Mom stepped in and was taking the morning off.
Today, the realtor called and the closing was moved back to 2:30 pm. Mom said, "No problem, I'll take the afternoon off instead." Well, the underwriters can't get it done by then, so we had to move it to Monday, since I was chaperoning Dillon's field trip to the zoo and we have his party in the evening. (He'll be 6 on Friday!!!) So, we were all set for Monday at 10 am. The seller's can't make it, so they were going to work something out for them to sign at a different time, before Monday.
The forecast is calling for thunderstorms on Friday. Field trip rescheduled for Monday. Dillon was a little sad that I wouldn't be accompanying the class, so I called the realtor and told him that Friday was now free. No problem- closing set for Friday at 11 am instead.
The sellers can't make it on Friday. Steve- our mortgage broker- is trying to push through the loan so we can now close tomorrow afternoon. The realtor was optimistic we could do it tomorrow evening, but I have to work and feel it is unfair to call in last minute. Besides, Jason has a reception he needs to attend for work from 5-8, so the evening is out.
We will find out in the morning if we can close tomorrow at 3 pm. Hopefully we find out in enough time to go to the bank and have a cashiers check drawn up for the downpayment and prepaids, as well as closing costs.
Today has been such a yo-yo of a day. Yes we'll close, no we won't, yes we will. I wish we could get some concrete answers about the date and time. Honestly, I wouldn't mind waiting until Monday if that's what needs to happen. Yeah, we'll have to come up with a whole month of prepaid interest, but at least we'd know for sure what was happening. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day!
I called the utility companies today. Electric will be in our name as of Friday. Gas will be switched over on Tuesday. The window guy is meeting us tomorrow morning to show us samples and measure the windows. Hopefully they can be installed before we move in, but it will be cutting it close. We are hoping to have the moving truck come on June 17th. We will paint the closets and the boys bedroom in the meantime. Maybe our bedroom, the living room, and the small bedroom on the main floor that we'll be using as an office.
The final walk through is tomorrow at 10. Gilbey and I will rush there after swimming to meet the realtor and the window guy. Closing may be at 3. I have to make 30 cupcakes for school on Friday and a cake for Dillon's little party Friday night. I also have to pack up some of the dining room so that it is presentable for guests, clean the bathroom (although Gilbey helped clean the floor this morning by dumping out half of his soap on the floor), and clean the kitchen. Some of that can wait until Friday, but I think tomorrow is going to wear me out!

Ew. Sorry dude. At times like this I'm sure you wish Dillon's school only allowed store-bought cupcakes (the policy here), or better yet, none at all! :-) I'm sure your guests would forgive you for a grocery store cake, just this once!
