Well, it didn't actually START today, it started yesterday. Yesterday while Todd was in the middle of teaching his training session he got a call from his mom. She left a message on his phone letting him know that she'd just heard from our mortgage guy that our closing on the house will be pushed back by atleast another week. SO not the news I needed to hear. I was really starting to let myself get happy about it all. I thought we were only a few days from closing, and now we're back to atleast a few weeks away. Now, I realize that this is how things work in the mortgage/housing world. But it doesn't mean it stinks any less. I think it wouldn't be such a big deal, except for the fact that I KNOW how much work its going to be once we DO get posession of the house. And we were probably going to be cutting it close to move before the end of the summer, and before school starts anyway. And now? Yeah, my guess is not until after school starts. We'll get in there when we get in there, and I know its going to happen, but I'm bummed. I'm just so tired of feeling like there's this little black cloud above our heads. I would love for things to go RIGHT for once.
Then, on top of it all there's some issues going on in my extended family. It's some issues that have been a long time in the making, but they stink. I hate to know what this is doing to the family, and what it could mean in the long run. I just wish I could wiggle my nose, make a wish, and make it better. If only it were that simple.
The weather today suits my mood PERFECTLY. We're supposed to get some thunderstorms, and possible severe weather. We need the rain desperately. And sometimes when you're down, nothing makes ya feel better than a good rain, mixed with a good cry!
I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow. After all, after tomorrow comes Saturday, and Todd and I get a DATE on Saturday! Can you believe it??? I'm so excited! We haven't been out just the two of us since his birthday in February!!! We're going to go to a local building materials outlet store that doesn't allow kids in, and then we're going to hit up an early movie, and dinner! It should be really fun! I can't wait!

oh no! So sorry to hear things are off track...I can imagine your frustration! Hang in there...hopefully it'll all come together sooner than later. Glad you've got a night out ahead of you this weekend - sounds like its much needed! We get a night out Friday, too! I can't wait! Yeah for Grandma and Grandpa!
Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day for you!! Chin up!
ok, I so need to catch up on everything, but i hope that you don't have to wait much longer! hang in there!
Oh Jamie! Sorry your having such a bad day! You know, we've been through 3 closings in the past 4 or 5 years...and it never works as planned. All you can do is push and push them to get things done as fast as they can. I can't tell you how many closing dates we've had that have fallen through b/c they needed more paperwork! It's ridiculous! I'm so sorry for ya'll!
BUT, on a better note...how fun to have a date! I gotta say, dates keep us sane around here. We don't have any help from family so when we have a sitter...we run before the door hits us in the butt! Pick a nice quiet place...we just haven't had any luck with a quiet place in a long time!
Have a great time...and hope things get better next week!
