Welcome to my jungle!
Hi family,
The last 24 hours are kinda whirl wind for me so I will try to make sense here.
First off, our house that we were selling as a Short Sale (just short of a Foreclosure), which was supposed to close escrow last Friday, fell through. My realtor, who I thought was a very good friend, has not been returning my calls or emails for the last few days. We had no idea till husband got a message on his home phone stating "this is Mr so and so from You know what Real estate co, just wanting to make sure you know that the escrow fell through last Friday and we need you to come by and sign some papers to release you from our contract. I am hoping Said Friend/Realtor has already given you this info but we really need you to get these papers signed ASAP"
So, husband calls me, he is freaking out because our only option now is Foreclosure which we were really trying to avoid.
Top all that off to me still feeling guilty about not attending Aly's meeting today and then getting another call from husband that he was taking her to the ER because she had a "bad seizure". ER did an EEG and there were definetly some spiking again in the TL area. She was tired but ok so they let him take her home after a few hours. She has a follow up with psychiatrist next week and neurologist week after that.
In the meantime, actually earlier in the day, I get a note on my apartment door stating my rent check bounced! I knew I was close, but really thought it was covered. When I looked up my account, there were several OLD checks that people suddenly cashed in the last few days and I have a negative balance!! Since I was late with the rent last month, and they are under new management, I have till 5 today to come up with the rent plus late fees plus the bounced check fees.
If I cannot come up with it by 5 today, I will be evicted. So, I called up husband, this was inbetween his phone calls, and he suggested I just pack up as much as I can fit in my car, and of course my animals and move back here to one of the extra rooms. So easy child 1 came over, we packed important stuff, our clothes, animals and here I am today, back at husband's place. I cried on and off all 2 hours of the drive, but this morning feel a sense of peace. I do have the option to moving to my sister's place, she has a little apartment on her property and it is only about 2 miles from here. Jayme and I could live there, rent free except for utilities.
So much going on, I just need to sit here and breathe and get ready for the meeting this afternoon.
Then tomorrow we will rent a truck and go back and pick up the rest of our stuff.
I think we all need to get into counseling, especially husband and aly and I. There are major issues that need to be addressed and I think we need a non involved person to help us.
Sorry that all sounded so discombobulated, but kinda how my brain is functioning right now.
Good thoughts would be most welcomed about now!!
