This is NOT the Way It Is Supposed to be Happening

Well, I just heard from the lawyers, and we'll be closing on the sale of this house tomorrow morning.

My realtor tells me that I won't be closing on my new house until Friday or early next week.

I'm crying.

I realize this isn't earth shattering, and there are definitely worse things to be shedding tears over, but it all came down on me just now.

My original realtor went to Boston, MA for two weeks last Thursday--which means she won't be back until next Wednesday. (She conveniently forgot to tell me this fact.) So, she had another agent work with us for one day before we were handed off to the broker. And the broker was mighty confused when the paperwork hit her desk.

Now what seemed so simple and straightforward has literally stopped.

I have the phone glued to my left ear discontinuing my utilities, and trying somehow to move my phone service from one place to another with an unknown lapse in residences. {Sob, sob} It wouldn't be so bad if it was just my home number. This is our business line, and we can't afford not to have it working.

Or worse: lose this number altogether.

Talk about expensive. Letterhead, business cards, advertising, phone book listings, etc.

My mind is running away with it all while I'M ON HOLD!!!

Sigh. I AM trying to take deep breaths and pray and let Jesus take care of it. I am trying, I am trying, I am trying.....
