BABY. Yes, you heard me right, I am a baby and to prove it to everyone I cried and threw a fit last night. REWIND. A few weeks ago I blogged about the mold issue I am having in my new home, so since then I have been negotiating "nicely" with the builder and trying to work out a resolution. Well Monday afternoon I get a call from the flooring contractor that works with my builder and he tells me they are going to 'gut' my house in order to ensure nothing is left. I was feeling pretty good at that point and then Tuesday rolled around, I received a message from the flooring guy again asking me to give him a call when I had a chance (didn't sound urgent) we had Rosie's birthday game that night so I decided I would call him Wednesday. Upon returning this phone call I was "made aware" that I would need to pack up and move ALL my personal belongings...okay, sure I expected I would need to do this...and then..."BY THURSDAY MORNING".
This phone call was followed by shock, can they honestly do this??? I called Derek and let him know he would need to be home right after work and to call anyone and everyone he knew that could help me. I called/emailed everyone in my contact book...it was going to be a long night. We had a lot of help and did manage to get almost everything moved (well thrown, stuffed, piled in any sort of fashion) to the garage/basement. My house looks like a disaster and my belongings are so disorganized, it took me nearly 45 minutes this morning to find my shoes that somehow got set outside (this was actually Derek's attempt at helping me so I could find them in the morning...ha) anyways, I am tired, I am crabby and I want my organized house back.
It hit me about 7:30 last night how upset I was about this whole thing. I started out by balling my eyes out (claiming that I got dust in them so nobody knew what a wreck I really was) and then anger set in. I threw an entire pile of neatly folded shirts down the stairs and boy did it feel good. I continued with the rest of my clothes not thinking about the fact that I should have taken out at least two weeks worth of clothes for during the construction (oops)!
We finished up and everyone decided to go grab a bite at Don Pablos. I had 7 points left for the day and if I do my math correctly I ate about 10 points, not too bad for Mexican. Today is going horrible so far. My sister was trying to cheer me up this morning so Rosie and her came over before work to bring me a fruit smoothie from Caribou. It was so sweet and of course seeing Rosie made me smile. 2 points for 1/2 a smoothie and then I found the only food left in my house 1 point WW chocolate cake, 3 points at 9:30 in the morning, not too bad. I pulled into work and found chocolate in my purse, there goes another 4 points so I have demolished 7 points today with a lunch meeting at noon...good thing I have FPs!
I am certain this is one of the worst blogs I have ever written, I am tired though and I just needed to vent a little. Hope everyone is having a good day. I don't have a home right now so I may be a little quiet over the next few days/weeks until everything is back to normal!

That is a lot to deal with and if crying and throwing clothes helps you through it, then so be it!!! Hang in there girl- you'll get through it ((hugs)) :)
Aww..honey!! I am sooo sorry you are going through all of this!! BUT on the flip side, at least your house will be fixed after all of this. Yes it sucks right now, but in the end it will be all better!!
Hang in there and DON'T LEAVE US!! We are here for you to vent or whatever. We will be the constant in your life over the next couple weeks. :)
BTW, you are doing great if you are still at least counting points at this point. ME? I would have thrown them out the window last night when I got the call to basically hand my house over for 2 weeks. So you are doing GREAT!! :)
You can vent anytime you wish we are all willing to listen. I hope they have your place put together soon minus any mold and things settle back down to normal for you. What a sweet sister and niece to bring you a treat. Cheer up things will get better. :)
