Pam, Quit trying to please your mom. Lord, knows I've given up trying to please mine. You are an adult who has managed to make major decisions. Your's sounds similar to mine.
So, when do you hear back on the offer?
When you can't make a decision because you are torn between your heart and your head, listen to the half with the brain.
I knew I was going to have to tell her about the house so I figured get it over with and you know I don't KNOW that I am doing what is right for me. But I think I am and that is really all I can go by.
I didn't want to get way out and have to drive a long distance in the winter on the snow and ice. Especially if I run home walk the dogs and then turn around and go back to town to help in friends tax office.

I think it is right for you for NOW. It doesn't mean you have to live there the rest of your life. It is still an investment. All kind of things can happen - you could meet someone new (I know, hard to imagine or even want to do right now ), find a different job/career where you can better afford something in the country, decide you want to pick up & go somewhere else, etc.
I think it is great & it is good to start over somewhere that is just yours. I know it really helped my self esteem after I settled in my house & I think it shows the world that you can be independent. I am missing things about my H being here, but I was here before I even met him so I am getting used to it being mine again.
I would own it but they would have 14 more days to get moved out of it. She said lot of times they get 30 days but it would be nice to get into it and out of this one we we just wrote in 14 days. Plus if they accept and aren't out they have to pay me rent!

That was one of the criteria yesterday when discussing the four houses. Was resale if I decided I just don't like where I am at or my life changes again.
My mom and dad have lived in the house they are in ever since my dad built it after they got married. I don't think she is looking at this as something I could sell and move to a place more like what would be my first choice.
I had to make compromises because of what I could afford. But I wanted something that was still descent looking and that the shelties and I would be fairly comfortable living in. I think this is a nice well cared for house and it won't take near as long to CLEAN as this one does!!!
