Fortunately, Madison had a good day. Unfortunately, Daddy and many people he knew today did not. Strange how that works.
It was also strange how - though initially stressful - it didn't phase us as much as I thought it might. Firstly, the car: don't you hate leaving a car dealership, paying a lot of money to have it serviced, only to see it die on the way home? This was a consuming portion of Daddy's day.
Work was a textbook example of a perfect storm of stressful situations, and so the car problems made things somewhat worse.
Finally, the coup de gras. We got the inspector's report on the new house, and... it's a money pit. We backed out. We got a zillion photos of places that need repair, from cosmetic to structural to plumbing to electrical to concrete to ... well, you get the idea. This was disheartening to say the least. Yikes, what a day! Hopefully tomorrow will be more promising. But just like we waited for Madison and everything was perfect, we know that this new house will be perfect as well. We just have to wait on His perfect timing and all will work out. Sometimes you get frustrated in the wait, but when you look back on things, you realize it was all worth the wait in the end and there's no need to get flustered.
Still, we're pretty bummed. Time to watch some "Nanny."
