Here comes the stress!!

There are two really big commitments that I must make if I am ever going to be a "Grown-Up".

1) Get married.
2) Buy a house.

Seeing that one is not option for me right now, I have proceeded with number two. I have done it. They accepted my offer. I have bought a house. I am officially a "Grown-Up".

Now.....

I feel the ulcers brewing. There are no major problems with the house. I just got my contract back. I am sending it to my loan officer on Monday. There have been no hangups in the process; everything is going smoothly. So why is this still so stressful?

Well, I know finances are one big stress...every time I walk through my new house I see more and more things that I need to do!!! My mind goes wild; this needs painting, that needs to be replaced, this needs fixing. Cha-ching, Cha-ching, Cha-ching. The dollar signs are adding up quickly.

Not to mention, it seems like any spare minute I get in this already crazy life of mine...I hear, "call this person, sign here, send this, fax that, call again, oh wait--sign again". Why can't you just get everything you need all at once? No, that would make it too easy. There are honestly, just not enough hours in the day!

I am happy about my house. Really, I am. It's exciting but between the jumping through hoops act with the house paperwork and the budgeting for the houses' expenses... I am stressed.
