Feeling lost

Lately. I’m just lost. My hubby and I have moved out of our apartment and into my parents house in June of 2017. We closed on our first home in June 2018. We are still living at my parents nearly 3 months later with no moving date in sight.

We bought the house with the intention of renovating it. We hired a contractor who is dragging his feet. He’s also a family member. My hubby worked for him for a few years. We know he does quality work which is why we hired him.

I had my IUD removed almost a month ago with the intention of waiting a year before TTC. We both have serious baby fever. We are using condoms but we hate them.

Everything that can go wrong with this house. Has and will go wrong with it. Day one the kitchen sink leaked into the cabinet. The garage door would open randomly when we weren’t there. The first month the sewer line backed up into our basement costing $5000 in repairs. The second floor AC stopped working a month ago and the home warranty company hired the shittiest mechanic to fix it. But 15 minutes after he left. It stopped working. Due to the heat and humidity of not having AC, the hardwood floor in the spare room had completely buckled.

I’m feeling totally disconnected from what I thought was our dream home. I’m feeling disconnected from my husband because he’s working 70+ hour work weeks then staying to build stuff for our house.

Just feeling lost.

I know it’s only temporary and I will look back and laugh but right now this shit is hard.
