Well, I have had a birthday like no other. It has been good and bad. Not sure if that makes sense but I will explain.
You see, I woke up running late for work and that had me thinking that it may not be a good day but I was trying hard to be optimistic. I had my gas light come on on the way to the sitters...I thought this isn't good b/c I am already late and I don't have time to stop...it will have to be enough to get me to work. I made it to work without being late or running out of gas. That made me happy...
I walked in the door to work and had about 5 birthday wishes all at once. Well, I consider myself a morning person but that was a lot of "Happy Birthday's" for 8am. It was nice that everyone remembered b/c my DH didn't even say anything when I left this morning...he was still half asleep so I will let him slide. He did call me around 10am and sang happy birthday to me. That was sweet.
Well, my boss' got me a potted mum and a cake...we all ate cake at 10am. WOW...talk about a rush of sugar! The cake was chocolate with cream cheese frosting...it was good but really sweet.
After we ate cake, I heard back from my DH about the closing. Remember, we were supposed to close this past Tues but it got moved to next Tues.? Well, let's just say that the underwriters are still not happy with the inspection reports for some dumb reason and we cannot close this coming Tues...not making it a good birthday. In fact, I have been depressed most of the afternoon and night. I am mad, sad, angry, hurt and upset all around. I just can't believe that they won't accept the state certified inspections...ummm HELLO, that's what you use people. I think the underwriter is not good at her job or something but this story gets worse.
My DH and KeKe got me a dress, some sandals and perfume. It was really sweet of them. I love it all. I love both of them very much.
I am mad and angry and upset because I am scared we will be homeless. We gave our 30 day notice on June 15th and so that means we have to be out of here by next weekend...b/c we have to have the place cleaned before we turn the keys back to the landlord. Well, if we don't close next week, not only will we be homeless but we will be losing $1,000.00 b/c HUD was going to give us that amount back if we closed within 30 days of them signing the contract. This means we will be suing someone. It does not look good right now. I am also sad and hurt b/c I thought that hope and faith was on our side but right now it does not look that way. I need our new home. My daughter needs to be able to sleep in her own bed not in our minivan. I am so scared we will have no where to live next week. I can only pray at this point that God will help us by next week. I have let this get to me sooooo much that I can't sleep or eat. I feel constantly sick to my stomach and I just want to cry myself to sleep forever. I pray God will help us through this. I pray he will provide the answers before my daughter has no bed to sleep in. I pray that he will keep us from being homeless. I pray he loves me and my family and can help us.

I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your house! We had something similar happen with ours back in January, and while we were technically without a home, we were able to stay with relatives until we got possession of our house (2.5 weeks late). I hope you can get your situation sorted soon! And happy birthday, may God bless you in this next year of your life, wherever you are living.
I've been in the same situation! I ended up moving in with my in-laws for 3 weeks while we finished up our house. Actually at the time when we moved out of our old house, we didn't have another to purchase. Things kept falling through. It was awful!
Something will work out soon for you!
Thanks Jo and Nicol! I am trying my best to keep a positive attitude but it's really hard. It's nice to know that someone else can relate to my problems and have been there and made it through happy. We have a couple of relatives to offer their home to us for as long as we need to stay. We are just really independent and try hard not to have to have someone help us but sometimes we all need help. It's also nice to know that people care so much about us to help us. I will post more as next week approaches. Thank again for your support.
Oh, sweetie, I am praying for you. I cannot imagine how fearful you are but I know that I would be battling that same thing if I were in your position. Know this, that God has not lost sight of you or your precious family. None of this has caught Him off guard ... trust His Word that promises He has a plan and it is for our good not our harm! (Jeremiah 29:11). And remember, "Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). (((HUGS))) ~ Teri Lynne (Pleasing to You)
