Your family sound amazing and so supportive and hugs are sometimes all you need to make you feel better. <br /><br />About the swearing - well, you were at the end of your tether and you handled it really really well by making sure your boys knew that YOU thought your word was wrong and should have kept your temper in check (easier said than done though, be kind to yourself). My mum never swears and me and my sis were in out 20's when we heard her swear - it was a bad bad word and J and I were in shock as it was so unlike my mum, but she had been pushed and pushed to the end of her limit and snapped. we did laugh though as we were surprised that she lasted so long without swearing. We still remind her of it now and then and it is part of the family stories - remember the time mum said THAT word?? <br />Wishing you health and happiness in your new house xxPolly McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891425521524262577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-57908748472299906652013-04-04T23:31:22.490-06:002013-04-04T23:31:22.490-06:00Oh my heck, that is so frustrating!

My husband and I are going through a similar and horribly painful experience and it would be a grand understatement for me to say that I feel for you. I have no aphorisms or platitudes to offer to make it feel better. Suffice it to say, I wanted to say something helpful and have come up empty. <br /><br />You can always feel free to vent your frustrations here to the internet sewing world.

You have no idea what my children have heard my husband say in far less stressful situations. Your son is old enough to understand that there are adult words and child words, and that sometimes people make mistakes. But really, it's okay. Don't beat yourself up over it anymore. If people are talking, it's only because they're surprised, not because they're judging you for saying it. Or even for saying it in front of your son. You're a nice person, and people who know you know that, too. :-)dannyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184111988053063451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-7864549363659515682013-04-03T08:10:47.453-06:002013-04-03T08:10:47.453-06:00Thank you for the wonderful lesson on our agency. ...Thank you for the wonderful lesson on our agency.

Don't worry, what happened will have a lasting good effect on them to know that we ALL make mistakes, even Mommies and Daddys, and there is always forgivenss and hope in a new day. God is good. I pray that from here on out your adventure gets easier. Building a house is so exciting and yet sooooo very stressful. We moved three times in three years in different rentals before we moved into the home we built on our dream piece of land. It was so hard and we didn't have little ones to deal with as our children were grown. Pace yourself and keep your eyes on the goal of the day you walk into your new beautiful home and a new chapter begins in your lives. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy your blog very much!!

You may not be a saint, but you are a rare rare bird of true sweetness and gentleness and innocence. Some people fake it and are hard to tolerate, but you come across as the real deal. You have real strength though and you will come through this moving ordeal and make that new home amazing for your lucky family- hang in there!<br /><br />As for the woman who hid the paperwork- someone that angry and able to create innocent victims can not know the kind of peace you probably have 23 hours out of the day. Her life is full of turmoil so she spreads it. Send a prayer for some peace her way.BarbaraShowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026317469719944260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-47770232410587104412013-04-03T04:54:48.116-06:002013-04-03T04:54:48.116-06:00Let it all out girl!!

As you've indicated, several builders and families would have been delayed by this one thoughtless action and indirectly, suppliers, real estate agents and many others would have suffered as well...some not even understanding why their cash flow was affected. I am glad you've obviously found a place to go and you never know, it could end up being a good experience.Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-53234402967147561492013-04-03T03:56:38.335-06:002013-04-03T03:56:38.335-06:00I understand you have set very high standards for ...I understand you have set very high standards for yourself and I really don´t like people cursing all the time...but we are all humans and when something like that happens emotions fly by.
