Devastated

It amazes me how rude some people can be. I have always believed in what goes around comes around...in fact I wish I had realized that Karma is such a real thing back in high school because there are a lot of people I would have been nicer to. I bring this all up to explain the events that took place to us after work...

Duffer got off work an hour early and headed on over to the wonderful house that we fell in love with. Keep in mind it was just to rent, but we were thinking rent for a couple years and build. I had to pick up the kids as usual and the plan was for me to drop them off at my grandma's so we could meet the owner and discuss the final details about the house. I had been on the phone with Duffer when he pulled up and he said someone else was there looking at the house. I thought 'Oh No!" but just assumed they had just drove by and stopped on the spur of the moment. Five minutes later Duffer calls and says the lady walked up to him, asked him if he was the man who worked at Eastman, then said, "Oh I am sorry, I just rented the house to these people."

Now I have never rented anything out to anyone but if it were me, I would have told those people that I had already talked to a potential renter who was meeting me there and if they weren't interested then they could have it. Keep in mind we told her Saturday that we would take it! Or if by some chance she had spoken to these people first, then she should have mentioned that fact on Saturday when we told her we wanted the house. Anyway, it is over and we are still stuck in an apartment. To say I am devastated is an understatement but that is how life goes sometimes...what is it that Forrest says...life is not a box of chocolates???
