I had the worst day

[devotchka]

WAAAAAH

We left our entire diaper bag in a parking lot today (put it down on the ground I guess and forgot to put it in the car?no idea how this happened) after a day at the bay, and my iphone and wallet and everything is in there. Also the house we are in escrow on has a shitload of things wrong w/ it including the entire roof needing to be replaced. We are basically ready to walk, and can't seem to get a straight answer out of the seller wether they will entertain replacing the whole thing themselves - we sure as hell aren't going to pay for it. They wanted to get another quote by their own contractor. F that. 

Max is screaming that he wants his Mommy while my Mom is bathing him. He still hates baths. I am crying on and off myself and just want to hide in my bed. My Mom ate my last awesome ice cream treat (magnum dark chocolate raspberry) which was honestly the only thing that was going to make me feel better today.  

Also - the bachelorette weekend for one of my bffs is next weekend and I literally have no valid picture ID right now, no license, no valid passport, nothing. IDK how I am going to fly to SF. Good times.

Holy crap that's a bad day. I am sorry.

I hope you get to have a stiff drink soon.

[steph196]

I am so sorry! That is absolutely awful! Maybe whoever took it will figure out how to contact you and return it? I have one of those ice cream bars here that I wish I could drop off at your house. Hugs!

[onehitwonder]

That's terrible. I hope you don't have to cancel your trip. It sounds like you really need a getaway.

[shevacc]

Oh no! Sending huge hugs!

[earlybird]

I'm sorry. I hope things turn around soon.

[thedahliharpa]

That blows! I really hope you get your wallet returned.
I know you will make the right choice with that house...stupid roof!

[devotchka]

OMG you guys - guess what? Some amazing person called an hour ago and THEY HAVE THE BAG!!! Bad news is I had already erased the iphone - but yay, not having to pay for another phone and yay ID and cards (although I already canceled most of them! LOL)

I am breathing a big sigh of relief right now. H drove downtown to grab it from this awesome person. We're giving them $40 cash for being nice people. I wish I could give more but we're strapped after losing over $600 on that house so far. I think we're gonna call it quits on the house... we're putting together our "wishlist" of shitty shit for them to fix --- but they prob wont... which is fine bc this house is starting feel like this:

That is a shitty day. Did you try to go back to where you left the bag? I hope someone honest found it.

[laurensmomma]

Yay!

H spent 2 hours looking for it and trying to find a cop to talk to bc they had been circling the area. Nice people exist!

Glad you got your bag back. We walked from the first house we were in escrow with too and we are SO THANKFUL we did! We ended up in such a better house. I hope the same goes for you if this isn't the one!

Oooh - story? Seriously, I need some hair pats right now bc I feel like I am being way too emotional about it! It doesn't help that the market here is really funky rt now - there's also just nothing out there that is as good or better than this, as much of a dump as it's feeling like (of course if they miraculously pay for a brand new roof and everything else we ask for (ha!) then maybe I will be singing a different tune...)

I'm so glad you got your bag back!

[rxbeth]

I'm so glad someone nice found your bad and returned it! Go buy yourself some more ice cream!

[teamhayes]

Glad you got the bag back

We walked from a house too

Hope it works out or you find something soon

That is totally awful re: your ID: in Canada you can sometimes get a rush passport if you need it - 48 hours or something, but you have to have a birth certificate and particular documents. Maybe that would work for you? Everything else is just shitty Sorry for you

ETA:  I obviously posted before reading the thread.

Well I'm SO happy you got your bag back!!!!! That really sucks about the house, go with your gut feeling though. You don't want to be stuck. ((Hugs!))

[pinkpeony6210]

I'm so happy that you got your bag back!

[browneyedhunni85]

I'm so glad you got the bag back. It's nice to know that there is still good people in the world.

[browndog]

That's awesome someone got your bag back to you!

[raynes]

That's so awesome that you got your bag back that shitty about the house though.

Well at the inspection we found out that the home had a ton of structural issues and we are young and didn't have the money to turn around and put in 20-40k into the house. We also learned that things like the air conditioner were not new like the owner claimed. Instead he added a new piece like a coil and claimed the whole damn thing as new. We walked away, heck we ran away, which was devastating to me because I loved the house and had so many plans for it. Neighbors had already started to introduce themselves! Anyways, about two weeks later we got our escrow money back and turned around and went and built a brand new house for $30k less! If your gut tells you to run then run, IMO. There is more out there. Just give it time!

[thedahliharpa]

I'm so glad you got it back! So awesome.

[christidee]

I just read your bad day post, but then I read your update post. Hooray. That is so awesome that nice people still exist. What a relief.

I'm sorry about the house, but if this one falls through perhaps you will find an even better one.

[jsillyfun]

Oh, man, what a day. Glad you got your bag back!

[jamaga2583]

That sounds really crappy... I'm glad you got your bag back! And I agree with everyone else... If your gut says run, run fast. We walked away from a house a few years ago... It sucked and I cried for a week., but in the end I'm so glad we did. I got my BFP for Gavin a month later (surprise!). The house would have instantly been too small for us in addition to the issues it already had. You'll find another that you love!

So glad it was returned. I left a basket of sand toys and shoes at mission bay once I was so happy to find them when I came back to get them

[steph196]

I'm so glad that someone called!!!! Yay!!!
