okay- so life has been pretty chaotic and sucky here.
Last week was horrible.
first my car got broken into while I was at work. The drivers side windows were smashed completely out, fortunately nothing was stolen and it was fixed VERY quickly- I love you state farm!
Next...My Bodhi dog who as any one who has read this knows, had been very sick and we had to take him to the vet last week to be euthanized. It was very sad but kinda good, that we could help him to not be so miserable. His last 2 days he barely moved, didn't eat and was having trouble breathing. Jon and I sat with him along with his favorite vet tech and the vet who had been taking care of him for the last year, I don't know if he knew or not, but it made us feel better to be with him during his final minutes. The tech and vet were crying as much as we were, I know they try not to get attached to animals, since in their line of work, most do not make it, but they had said before that they had gotten very attached to Bo, especially the tech. It was a sad day.
Then....we decided to put in an offer on the house that we liked, but we waited until we were SURE that the financing was completely solid, but apparently that was too long because someone else made an offer the same day and they went with their offer instead of ours. We were upset but then found out that another house we looked at was still on the market, we had like that house more than the other one but because it was a little further away decided not to put a bid in. So....we went and looked at again and spent a few hours thinking about it, we had JUST made the decision to put in an offer when my phone rang- our real estate agent.....guess what...someone else was putting in an offer and we needed to get an offer in by today if we wanted to be considered. So we are putting in an offer but I'm not holding my breath. And before any of you say....and you know who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!......... "it just wasn't meant to be" fine it wasn't, but if it wasn't then why does it have to be at the LAST second that it is getting another offer. I mean really,, if this second house wasn't meant to be, why didn't it get an offer the day BEFORE we went back to look at it not the SAME day. We took it as a sign that it was meant to be because one of the reasons we didn't really consider it long was because we NEVER thought it would be on the market for more than 2 days, but when it was we were like, hey, maybe we need to take another look.....
ANYWAY.....its another week and I certainly hope it doesn't suck as bad as last week. I mean it certainly can't suck as much, but hopefully things start looking up a little more. God knows I could use some good fucking news.....a run of unfortunate events are stressful enough but on top of the stress and fluctuating hormones I have from being pregnant, things seem almost unbearable.
Of course, I am starting my 2nd trimester and things start to get better then- I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Housing decisions can be so heart wrenching. First to even make a decision you have to imagine what your life would be like in this place. It could be so wonderful, you decide, but then reality is determined by so many factors outside of your control.
My heart goes out to you. I just found and lost THE PERFECT apartment today because else got to it first, too.
Are you feeling your baby kick yet?
