Hidgety-Fidgety

It's a term I borrow from one of Kevin's books which means a restless, antsy feeling. That's exactly how I am feeling today.

Tomorrow morning, my in-laws are coming over to babysit Kevin and Laura so we can go and look at houses. I never really thought this day would actually come. That we were seriously looking at houses. Key word is "seriously" which also means preapproved for a mortgage and everything.

I have been looking at properties on the internet and since there are literally HUNDREDS of them in various stages of availability and affordability, it's dizzy-ing. I couldn't sleep at all last night because after sending a short list to our realtor, I know there are still about 50 other properties that I'd also like to see before making a decision. And then, even more properties falling out of escrow or just coming onto the market each day. How do you decide??

I believe the key is to remain patient. Rational. Emotionally detached. I haven't even walked through any properties, but I think I already have my favorites.

Emotionally detached. This is hard for me. Hidgety-fidgety...
