Good morning, I must admit I'm a lurker. I come out because I need to share and from what I have seen this BB is so full of loving and supportive people. Be fore warned this is lengthy:o

The Good: After 9 months of my DD & I living apart from my DH, we are getting back together. He did what was needed and were going to be a family again. We have sold our home and bought a new one. We will be moving this week:D

The Ugly: Then there comes a day like Friday, our realtor calls me to say the home were selling is actually less square footage than we all thought and we must lower the price, this comes as a total shock since the phone call we were waiting for was the call to come in and sign. Since closing is before the 15th of April. So this is a huge hit, and I'm feeling like crap and do not want to tell my DH. Then on the loan for the new house I find out I'm in a bit of trouble. I have co-signed on a loan for my friend who is behind on her payments oh the trouble that causes. So after about an hour that gets cleared up, but then I haven't told DH this either:o oh the web we spin. So I pour out all this to him and well let's say he wasn't smiling. After all this yes the phone rings yet again, we get to go in and sign for our new home today, okay great we do even though DH can barely speak to me;) When we get home the lady were buying our new home from calls, (she is selling it herself) well she tells us that after signing she sees that the house price is wrong:confused: that it's actually 900.00 more. I have no idea how she thinks this, she says yes that the flyer she printed reads blah blah. Well I don't recall this nor do I have the flyer and I'm thinking were done signing for the house, we've just taken a huge hit on selling our home and I just can't deal with this. She says oh we will just work it out. How about we just let it go is what I'm thinking, so we do a search and find the inital papers we signed to get the sell going and the price is exactly what we signed for at closing. Now for the last.

The bad...Friday night our daughter was in a Track event at a Community College, we parked in the well lit parking lot near the football field. I was stupid and tried to push my purse under the front seat. But since the car was well lit, the thief could see my purse. So he decided to smash in the window, and steal my purse:mad: when we got to the car DD & her friend saw this and I thought she was kidding (were all big on teasing) but then I see she is crying, my baby girl was so upset. Well by then after the day we had, I just went cold calm. We cleaned up as best we could the security guards helped and wrote up a report. We drove home with the heater blasing it was a cool 42. When I got home I began to call and cancel everything, and write a list of all that I lost. Lesson learned there.

Went to bed thinking okay tomorrow is another day. As I closed my eyes I thanked the lord for all the good, that our family will be together again in our new home, our new begining.

Thank you all if you have made it this far.

Oh, Linda! I envy your attitude! I would have been spitting nickels, and probably using language I hadn't used since high school. Your attitude will get you through all this aggravation. Best of luck, and congratulations on your new life as a family again!

Wow, Linda! What a tumultuous couple of days - Hugs to you.

Yes, things come in threes, and you're right, too, in the attitude you have. As horrible as things must feel right now, this too shall pass.

Best wishes,
Kayla

Oh I'm so sorry to hear of all the troubles, Linda! It is great to hear that your family is back together, hold on to that positive!

I know all about some jerk stealing your purse out of the car. The cops did tell me that at events like that jerks actually just sit in their cars and watch for women getting out of cars without a purse! The idiot that stole mine cause months of hassle so be sure you make copies of that report!

I really appreciate all of your kind words of encouragement. Susan I called one of the big credit bureau's to report the cards. My DH's SS# was on the health insurance cards so that was the biggest worry. I still haven't made it to the DMV oh bother. My wallet looks so silly, but it's new. DH took me to the mall and bought me 2 new purses w/wallets. I did have to whine a bit to get some cash to put in them. My family has just about teased me to tears. My new purse is now called mom's soccer bag. I bought a larger one just so I wouldn't leave it behind:p

The lady selling the house to us called me today and asked if I had shared the "mistake" with my DH. Well yes and you know what that number you think you were selling your house for there is no record of it. We never signed anything, nor do I remember any mention of the price being different than what we agreeded to. Well like I said tomorrow's another day:D

I keep thinking of this funny expression:

If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, your going the wrong way.

It just makes me laugh and get a new perspective

Wow! Take care of yourself, DD and DH! It will get better! What's up with the woman selling her house, did she get a higher offer? That is the only thing I can think she was doing. How about the newspaper, did she advertise in it? Maybe you can get her $ from there? Keep us posted!!

"Mamma said there'll be days like this" but it sure as heck doesn't make it any easier does it?"

I think you have a gret attitude about it....Here I am spouting off because another driver likes to play with my time...and you have all of these real issues.

I am so sorry that you had such a bad weekend, but hopefully everything is on the upswing for you again. Hope DH is speaking to you, by now.

The lady selling you the house can go bark up a tree!! If both parties have signed the official papers, she's outta luck!! She also cannot withhold keys or do anything to prevent you from moving in.

(Well, its like that in CA anyway...)

This is what I call I very happy day:D We got the Keys to our new home:D ( I think that I may just end every sentence w/:D )

The papers were recorded this morning, and were in:D DD & I have been cleaning and moving some boxes. We will do the furniture on Wed. Some deliveries came today. DD's brand new bedroom set came, she was dancing around her room she is so happy:D Our new fridge arrived and a futon for the spare room/office. Thursday night will be our first night together as a family in 9 months:D I am so happy that this has turned out, I know DD and I would have moved on and had a life. But us all getting back together is much much better:D

The seller had to finally realize she wasn't getting any more cash. So she made sure she took a few other things that she had said would stay. Like the storage closets in the garage. Whatever, she can't bother me anymore:D It's our house now, so go far away from me, (just being silly ya know). Thanks for letting me air out my personnels, your a lovely lot:D

Now this is what's really important. In spite of the setbacks on the house and getting your purse stolen life seems to be good. Best wishes to all of you in your new home and in this next chapter of your lives together. We will be seeing you around here more often, right?! :D
