Everyone is hearing about the foreclosure statistics. Its dreadful. I won't quote what the exact numbers are. But what if you were one of those about to become a statistic. Let me tell you it is terrifying. You worry, you don't sleep, you wonder how the hell did get here? It is a crying shame when you live in America and you cannot even hold on to your house. I have not told any of my friends about this, well I guess you know now. I might be able to pull us out of the fire. I actually believe I can. But I only have until next thursday. Thats when the sheriff sale is scheduled. Can you believe it? I sure as hell can't. So you see, not too much else is interesting me lately. I have this huge weight on me and I am screaming inside.

Yeah, so blog wars, blog drama, blog popularity are really low on my list of concerns. Of course everything is left for me to handle. Nothing against hubby but seriously dude, take some of this weight off my shoulders.

Its embarassing to admit this. But I guess I am just another sad statistic of the economy.

Lewes is cool! Its a quaint community but you are so close to the bigger beaches. Its one of my favorite places to go in the summer! Beebe is an excellant hospital, it has a great reputation around here. I think you will really like living in Lewes. Rehobeth is the next closest beach town and they have all kinds of thing going on there year round. Arts and music festivals. Also a large gay community. just had to sneak that part in for you. lol

I am so sorry you are going through this. You may have an option, other than what you may be planning, although, it too has reprocussions..

"How long does it take to foreclose a property in Virginia?

Depending on the timing of the various required notices, it usually takes approximately 60-90 days to effectuate an uncontested non-judicial foreclosure. This process may be delayed if the borrower contests the action in court, seeks delays and adjournments of sales, or files for bankruptcy."

No body likes to consider bankruptcy, but if it can delay losing your home, and give you time to find a solution, it may be worth considering.
