Our house is for sale

"Well, I have gone and done it." What have I done? The title says it all. After years of debating about selling our home I had it listed today. Why have I done this? Well, I am thnking this could be a good investment if all goes well. If it doesn't sell for what I have agreed to as the bottom dollar then we won't do it. I don't want a much larger home just about 300 sq ft more and laid out alittle different from what I have now. You already know the laundry room story. The bonus room is over our bedroom, say no more about sleeping when there are girls in the house. I just want a few different things. I am scared. I am not wanting to do the wrong thing. I don't want to spend too much money building. I don't want a fancy home. I want a livable, efficient home. Okay, so is a new house going to solve life's problems? No. Is a new house going to make me a better mother, wife, neighbor, friend, or nurse? No. Is a new house the answer to my discontentment? No. I am happy now. I can stay in this home and make it all work. I can keep my laundry as organized as possible to stay caught up. I can live here and be just fine. I just would love the opportunity to try again. We built this house 8 years ago. I think I have learned a few things to do better or different. I think I can do all this; however, my husband is not so sure. Life is full of risks and choices. Sometimes there are no clear cut answers. Our house is for sale, if for the right price and if for the right reasons.
