Wow - weird day on the board today. The people whose sitches seem to be improving are kind of MIA, while others are having huge dips in their sitches!
My own is pretty quiet. H and I had a really nice weekend. We had our family night last night, with lots of play-fighting, talking, and just snuggling. Lots of endearments and the like.
The car was delivered yesterday. It is beautiful. Seriously - the car was totalled by the insurance company, which is mostly a matter of appraising the cost of fixing it higher than the current book value of the car - it's a 97, so that wasn't hard.
The windshield is very broken, the headlights are smashed, and the hood needs replaced (I know it SOUNDS scary). He started it for me, and the engine purrs like a kitten! A lot of his friends are into cars, so fixing it will be much cheaper than normal. Paying for it will be a matter of selling the cars we have already (some broke down and were fixed, some are specialty cars) and maybe using some of the tax refund. I think I am going to propose to him that we split the tax refund and I use part to pay off my school debt, and he can use the other half towards the car.
To sum up, I like this car. I think I overreacted somewhat (okay, a LOT). I didn't handle my concerns as well as I could have. He actually does have a workable plan for paying fo rthis car, and it won't affect our day-to-day finances.
This is going to be okay, and that peace and harmony feeling is slowly creeping back in! YAY! Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
