The title is in reference to myself. I've really been fighting hard to believe that things will just go according to the schedule that I have in my head for our home improvement projects. However, that schedule is already one week behind because of our lender, and it's becoming very obvious that my schedule is unrealistic. It would be realistic if I were willing to pay someone else lots of money to come and do the labor for me, but I just can't justify it. We will save so much money if we just do it ourselves. So now I'm trying to let go of my hopes and expectations. I'm not so good at this. I feel like it has to be my way or the world just might end... yes, this is behavior of a spoiled child. The whole point of finding a home before we went off gallivanting in Europe was so my mind would be at ease and I wouldn't be preoccupied with the stresses and awaiting projects of home. It's time to adapt. Europe should be distracting enough to keep my mind off of the fact that all my stuff is sitting in a garage and that the only piece of furniture in the house is a mattress. Wish I could just relax and not put myself through this stress.

It's interesting you put Angelica as your spoiled picture, because she happens to be my favorite spoiled brat of all time! You have the right to be spoiled a little bit, right? Let's just keep crossing our fingers that the loan goes through really soon.
I take no responsibility for you turning out to be a "spoiled" child! Besides, its more about accepting the fact that you have to live in the real world with all those irritating real world people and issues. It's OK, because the world does keep on turning and as President Hinckley used to say, "It will all work out."
