Change of Plans

Last week was a complete mess. That's why I haven't blogged. I didn't even want to talk about it. While driving to Ohio we got a phone call from the bank telling us that something wasn't yet completed so we wouldn't be closing on Tuesday, or Wednesday, and hopefully we would close by Friday. Tuesday I woke up with a sharp pain in my back and knew right away that it was kidney stones. We went to the house and walked through it with the sellers. It was good to walkthrough and hear about the house from people that know it so well. We had to leave early because I couldn't take it anymore, the pain was just too much. I tried to just stay at J's parent's house but I couldn't. I couldn't keep anything down so J took me to the hospital and we spent the remainder of the day there. It was miserable.

Wednesday the bank called to say that they had the appraisal all set, and that we should have an ok from the underwriter in 24 hours. Thursday we waited patiently, and didn't hear anything. I sent an e-mail from J's account demanding to hear something. It worked. They put a hold on our account, for a reason that we should have been made aware of a month ago. It made me so angry, it was so awful. Friday I got to go back and take pictures of the house. I put them up online and will post the link later.

Saturday we drove back home and Sunday we prepared for the week. It was so tough to get up Monday morning. I had butterflies, not knowing what the week would bring or how the kids would be. The week has been ok, I feel like I haven't done anything and I wish the week was over.

We have a conference this weekend. Circle K is celebrating its 50th anniversary. J should be there and I should probably go too. I don't mind going, but I'm not as excited as I used to get about conventions.

I'm so drained after all the issues with this house...I just want to be there. I just want to put my house together. I just want to know where I will be working in 6 months. Everyone keeps saying that things will work out ok, and I hope they are right!
