The 3 D's & Lemonade

Well, after a month of waiting, the bid came in for the new house last night....and it was way to high! OMG!!! My first 'basic' bid was high, so I made lots of changes (smaller house, attached garage, etc) and it only saved me about 9k. So....on to plan 'B'. Okay, so I don't know what plan 'B' is....but am working on it. Called 2 more contractors today about getting bids. They'll get back to me this weekend about meeting to talk to them.

Disappointment, discouragement, depression....3 'D's that I'm dealing with today. Life will go on.... As my mother says....'When Life gives you lemons, make lemonade!'......okay, Mom.....is that why I have such a sour taste in my mouth?

Will write more when there is more...
