UGH.

I am afraid I'm going to go postal any minute. NOTHING is going right with this house transaction.

Let's take a step back to yesterday - I get a call from our attorney saying that they can't secure the transfer stamp from the City of Elgin because of an outstanding permit that was applied for. WTF? So I called the city and was told that this address applied for a permit to change the water heater in February of 2004 - BEFORE we bought the house. So they let the transfer happen for us to buy the house, but now they decide to do their job and hold us up. She said they could get someone out early next week. I told her that was not acceptable and she was holding up our closing based on an error that the city made - not us. After 3 supervisors, lots of F-bombs (I was not happy!) Long story short - the inspection was done and passed within 2 hours.

Fast forward to last night at about 8pm - our realtor calls and says that we still don't have a clear to close because of an issue with a social security number for one of the buyers (I think the one with 16 letters in the first name and 18 in the last name). He hopes it's a clerical error and we'll still close on time.

About 10 minutes ago I got a call from our attorney (keep in mind we're supposed to close in 2 hours) and the lender JUST found out that the buyer's greencard is EXPIRED!!!!!!!!!! WTF? You don't ask for his f-ing greencard until the day of closing??????? I am so mad. My blood is boiling and I think I should just not answer my phone today; I don't think I'd be very pleasant to my customers! UGH! So now we just wait? The lender was supposedly on his way over to the buyers house to see what can be done since he can't understand them without reading lips.

Oh, and this morning when I got my pumpkin head out of bed his right tube (that he's had surgery for twice) was out again..... LOVELY!
