yeah, so this is starting out light but gosh...this weekend went from bad to worse-ish. we qualified for closing cost coverage for the house. we were supposed to only have to pay about $1000 for the entire closing because we didn't have a lot of savings. well at the end of the week with freddie mac and fannie mae being "bought out" by the government....we lost our deal...the government closed all those perks down two weeks earlier than planned....so rough. so we signed papers on a house and had to figure out about $2500. ugh!!! hopefully that is solved now but YUCK!!!. that almost did me in completely....
then tonite, we left too late from dan and erin's house. max was pooped but refused to crash...he was exhausted. i ALWAYS get off in oakland to get to our house....ALWAYS!!! but not tonite. i try to be adventurous and try a road that's been closed for several months. it was open but we got half way up bigelow blvd to find about 3 miles of backed up traffic. we left at 1000 and got to the traffic at about 1015. we sat til 11....a tree had fallen on the road and penndot was trapped about four miles behind us....so a group of men went and broke the tree into pieces so we could get through. max was sweaty from his meltdown and exhausted...when we were about 20 ft from the tree, a man decided to help a broken down car and stopped in the one available lane blocking up miles of traffic for about 5 minutes to help....i got out of the car and men were screaming obscenities at each other so i stepped right back into the car....we gave max a quick bath and now he's in bed....we are all bushed and i can't wait for this ride to be over!!!
it is not only figuratively raining but i'm assuming that it will soon be literally raining...thanks ike for the gas prices and all the memories that will haunt me tonite till i fall asleep....
