Alright, I know you all want to hear about the condo, so let's just get it out of the way. The latest "story" from the seller's realtor is that the seller is away on business, and he hasn't been able to present the offers yet. He will do so on Friday morning, when the seller returns.
Um, okay. Why this couldn't have been brought to my attention from the get go is beyond me. I'm really feeling messed around with. I really like my realtor, she is really pulling for me. When I talked to her last night, and we knew nothing, she was very supportive of the fact that I was stressed, pregnant, and couldn't take much more.
I calmly thanked her today for listening to me last night, and explained that I really needed an answer by tomorrow evening. I'm not willing to go through this for a whole weekend. Not. Going. To. Do. It. Uh-unh. So, hopefully, that will help spur a fire under someone's butt. I get that the seller was away, that doesn't bother me. I'm just hoping that he can make a decision in a timely fashion once he hears our offers. I mean, there are two. Pick one. Right? Ha, ha, ha.
Gosh, I'm getting cynical. This whole process is jading me a little. Anyway, onward.
I am totally unprepared for this trip right now. I did my weather check today just to get an idea.

Mom and I were talking earlier about wardrobe, and I convinced her to bring a heavier coat than what she was initially thinking. Just looking at that one low of 47, I mean it's higher than what we're having in New England right now, but if it's dark out and you get any kind of wind chill, we're going to need a heavier coat. Not a winter parka, mind you, but something substantial. And I definitely will be bringing gloves, just in case.
I'm thinking for wardrobe at this point, I'll be going with pants/jeans. I doubt that I'll bring any capris because our last day is our warmest, and I'll be coming home, so it wouldn't make sense to wear them on the plane.
For tops, I have some maternity tees, and some regular that I think I can still get away with. I prefer the underbelly maternity pants, so my concern with that is making sure my shirts are long enough that I'm not flashing the baby bump. Because although I think it's cute right now, no one else needs to see that.
So, pants, tees, and a hoodie. I have a couple of maternity hoodies of different weights, and one non-maternity Tink hoodie that still fits because I buy oversized for comfort.
Mom and I are probably going to bring a tote bag into the parks, in addition to our purses, with our coats and items we may not want to carry around, and we'll get a locker for them. That way, during the warmth of the day we can be less encumbered, and at night, we'll be plenty warm. We may avoid getting a locker depending on the day and if we go back to our hotel. The Magic Kingdom day, we have afternoon tea at the Grand Flo, so we could just pick up our coats then and not have to worry. Savvy?
I still need to go trhough all my toiletries and see what needs to be replaced and this weekend I'm going to get down to the real nitty gritty and completely plan out my outfits. Normally I'm not so structured, but with the maternity clothes, I really have to plan out my week of what I'm wearing to work vs. what I'm packing.
Once I get these things, along with a solid packing list accomplished, I think I'll be feeling a little bit better and more excited again.
Right now, I just feel emotionally beaten down, and ready to throw in the towel. DH and I have even discussed rescinding our offer. I'm going to let it play out until tomorrow evening and then take it from there, but I'm not joking when I say that I can't take the stress. As much as I may love that condo, I love my sanity more. And I am not unhappy where we live, and Mom and I came up with a whole game plan for where everything will fit and how to streamline once the baby comes.
Either way, we'll be in good stead, I just want this to be over with soon so I can focus on the important things.
Like Disney food.
