Aggravated and anxious

Warning: Long post!

Df's grandmother took a nasty spill at Dillards department store, a little over a year ago. She broke her hip and hasn't been the same since. She decided to sue them in order to pay her medical bills, and of course for their negligence.

Well, after all this time, the decision was made yesterday. DF's parents went with her to what they thought was supposed to be a settlement meeting, but turned out to be arbitration. Dillards attorney's screwed her. They won't give her anymore then $50,000. That's bullshit! Her bills alone are more then that, and she owes the attorney 1/3 of the settlement.

She was supposed to get ATLEAST 6 figures. With that money she was gonna pay off her bills, pay the attorney, and loan us 10k to use towards a house. DF's parents already put a contract on a house, which they had to pull out of cause of this. Because they were screwed, we got screwed.

See, DF and I rent a house from his parents. They were gonna give us 10k of his grandmothers settlement, and then when they sell the house we're in, they were gonna pay her back with money from the equity. Now they can't do that.

So, instead of having money to put down on the house, we have nothing. We already fell in love with this one house, and even have the loan officer working on getting us approved for a loan. He said without the money its gonna be tough to get a loan big enough to get into a house out here, but he'll see what he can do.

He has all our info, but he's waiting on us to drop off DF's tax forms for the past 2 years. As soon as we do that, he can tell us what we can and can't do as far as buying a house. I called DF's mother today to make sure she's getting the papers. She said she's having it faxed over and she should have it today. Once it comes through im gonna bring it to the loan officer and let him crunch the numbers.

Now comes the waiting. Once He gets the papers, it will be about 4 days before he can tell us the outcome. Hopefully i'll know by Saturday. DF and I really love this house. It's exactly what we want and it's a great price. Im so anxious to know what's gonna happen now that we don't have the $10,000. DF's father says he will try to get us the money he promised but he isn't sure where it's gonna come from yet.

Needless to say i've been stressing over this. I just found out yesterday that we aren't getting the money so im in a panic.

Nothing new with us TTC. We're onto yet another month. Right now I don't have much faith. With everything that's going wrong in our lives, it's hard to stay positive. That's easier said then done.

DF has cut out caffeine, which is good, but he's getting migraines and he has no energy. I hate seeing him like that, but im glad he's doing his part to help his swimmers.

Well, if anything changes i'll post..
