Love it or List it

Ever see this show on TLC? I catch it occasionally and can totally relate to the home owners on this show.
We have lived in our house for about 5 years or so. When we found this house we thought it was perfect for our family dynamic and our crazy go go go life of busy kids and full schedules.
My husband and I work full time and the three kids are all involved in some activity or other that seems to occupy every available spot of the day. The kids also live one week at their Dad's house and then the next week at our house then back again, week after week.
With this kind of situation we have placed our homes about 5 blocks from each other where the kids can easily make it back and forth for the forgotten item of clothing they must have for the next day of school or that video game they just gotta play.
They were all attending the same elementary school which lies right between our homes...the perfect situation.
Well now the kids are older and only one of them is left in that school while the other two are off to their own separate junior and senior highs at completely opposite ends of our hamlet. There really is no need for us to be located where we are for convenience purposes anymore with the little one being driven to an in school before and after school care every day and the other two getting to school on public transportation from both houses.
When we moved in we had big plans and bright ideas for our 1969 home....we started on it right away replacing the roof and windows and a new water heater. Tore down a wall to open up the upstairs, gutted the old bathroom and made it brand new, my very talented husband created an amazing ceiling and built the best deck ever....well, we stalled out both in money and time. Did I mention we work at full time jobs and have three busy kids? Even when they are with their Dad for his week we all still see each other, their schedules are just too much for one soul.
Here we sit, just wanting to relax and enjoy our precious down time when we are at home but unable to do so with the ever daunting unfinished renovations around us.
We have decided to sell our house as is, maybe doing a few minor touch ups, knowing that no matter what we put in anymore we will never recover it. We will sell it and move into a house that is all done. There. Decision made.
Turns out that we have pretty high expectations for what we are willing to dish out. wow. every house we look at is either way out of our price league, but finished so nicely for us, or is in need of upgrades. Back to square one....who needs the hassle of packing and moving and cleaning and....renovating?!? Not us, we are looking for slow down time not adding to our to do list.
That's it then. We are staying. We will get quotes and have people to come in and help us get this thing done once and for all.
"I'm sorry? How much will that cost? what?! You have GOT to be kidding me?" Every time we turn around there is an issue....oh, you want to replace your front door, UMMM yeah, if you want to do that you have to have all the glass blocks removed because it is all one unit then replace that with a window and...and...and...but we just wanted a new door. yikes!
Love it or List it....we want to love it, but is it in the budget? List it? Too much trouble.
Not bad problems to have really. I wouldn't call them problems. We appreciate our life like you wouldn't believe. Sometimes we just want to sit down.
No problem, that duct tape on the floor is still holding up pretty good, I say we take it easy for a little while longer. Whats the rush anyway?
