Oh my goodness, that sounds awful!! Moving is stressful enough without all of that piled on top of it. Ugh.

I really really REALLY hope your condo sells soon.

Awwww... selling a house is rough! Especially in this market. I won't tell you the loss we took on our home just to get out from the double payments, but I will say it wasn't pretty. One thing I will share is that we ended up renting out the house, which went well for the first year, but we got careless about who we let stay there in order to make sure someone was paying on a monthly basis and that really bit us hard.
Anyway, in the long run, it really did come together, and later on I was able to see that it worked out the way it did for a reason. (We we wouldn't have taken on job changes in order to make more money to make ends meet, which in turn created a better life style in the long run, etc.).

I am sure it will come together for you guys as well. Hang in there and GOOD LUCK!

P.S. Have you tried "Goo-be-gone" on the floors?

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling that warm,...

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling that warm, homey feeling that everyone should feel from their house. I agree- try hot (very hot) water and vinegar if you haven't already! So sorry we couldn't catch up this week, but I know you were crazy busy, and I worked really long days. Thinking about you guys. Try and keep a list of all of the great things about the new place. It will get better!!

Oh man. I'm sorry. You'll get there! Yo...

Oh man. I'm sorry. You'll get there! You eat an elephant one bite at a time!

Oh Erika that doesn't sound good at all...I would want to go home too! Take it one step at a time, and I'm sure things will get better!
About your hardwoods, we had a similar black gooey substance on our hardwoods when we bought our house and nothing would get it off! Finally we found a product called Jasco, www(dot)jasco-help(dot)com, and it took the black goo straight up. We did have to refinish our floors once we were done, but we had already been planning that! Hope that helps and Good Luck!

oh geez erika that sounds so awful! what the heck is on your floor? this is going to sound lame, but have you tried straight vinegar and hot hot hot water? it's what we use to get unknown substances off of the stage pieces and it seems to work every time! you are awesome and it will get better. when we first moved into our house all I wanted was my teeny tiny apartment back. we had been there for 6 years and it was easy. chances of us ever moving again are slim to none.
biggest hug to you ((hug))
