Can I just say I am a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Stress #1: So, the house I am supposed to be living in as of July 24, will not close until August 20. The seller has a son (or two) on the title which needs to be legally removed...and legally has 15 days to do so! My walls are supposed to be painted-my wood floor should already be down-light fixtures replaced-personal touches made.
Stress #2: Our interest rate expires today! We had to find a way to pay to extend the rate we locked in (which was super low) for another 20 days. Let me tell you-its not cheap. I said a prayer that something would just happen to help us out-I had no idea what else to say. Good thing-our title company called and told us they found $650 that had not yet been used. Thank you, prayer answered.
Stress #3: Volleyball starts. Two-a-days. Limited time at home. Enough said.
Stress #4: This probably would have made number 1 any other month. I got into a car wreck-turned fender bender this past week. I was on the highway going 5 mph in traffic and this car came screaming onto the entrance ramp at 50 mph. The right lane was moving, but the far left lane I was in wasn't. I looked into my rear view mirror and saw this psycho closing in--not slowing down. I just yelled "Oh my gosh!" and held on. I pulled as far to the left as I could, but he hit the right back side of my car, sending me spinning sideways into the right hand lane--into traffic. I am so thankful that I was protected-there were no cars that even came close as I spun-nothing. So I recovered back into the left lane and pulled over. I started to cry-not so much because I just was hit, but more that I just escaped what could have been a very terrible accident. I went to the hospital because I have back pain, but nothing a massage (or two) and a heating pad can't help. Oh, and the medication they gave me at the ER-I am allergic to and I couldn't hardly breathe. I told them I am allergic to aspirin, so they gave me Motrin, which is way too similar (and I never take it). Crazy I tell you!
I love life, but wow...I feel like an ant with a magnifying glass straight over me at noon!
6 Friendly Remarks:
Oh Tiff I will say a prayer from you! Thinks will work out! It always seems like things happen all at once, hang in there! We are here for you! :)
Things will get better! I remember how stressed I was when we were closing on our house. Everything was so much better after the fact. And also, I recommend seeing a chiropractor after being in an accident. You might not think there was serious damage but years of non treatment can be harder to fix...you know? Anyway, they'll fix the cause of the problem, not the symptoms (soreness).
Gosh I am so glad you are okay and nothing worse happened, I think the fear of it could have been worse is always the scariest part...
So sorry about the delay on the house, just buying a house is stressful, I feel like I am going to pull my hair out any second trying to get all ready to close on our house. I hope everything goes smoothly here on out!
Oh my goodness...craziness. That is all just too much for one person to handle. Well I guess like the old saying goes...what doesn't kill us, only makes us stronger.
Glad the accident wasn't worse, that is scary.
Those are good stresses! Good reasons to feel like an ant I guess I should say! I am glad everything thus far is working out okay!
Crazy! But you can get through it!
