Spoiled?

Today was another day of tears. This temporary house we are living in is very dark. Not much light comes in at all. It’s just not a very welcoming place. I was crying in bed and Mark said that he understood why I was so sad. This process had been so stressful. He also said that he thought I’d become spoiled by the houses we’ve lived in. He didn’t say it in a mean way, at all. He was very nice about it and he meant nothing negative by it at all. I never thought of myself as spoiled though. Quite the opposite actually. We’ve worked very hard for everything. We’ve never had anything just handed to us. It got me thinking though, have I become spoiled by things that I considered necessities in life but to others they are luxuries? Maybe. Will this process change me and make me not need those “luxuries” anymore? Not a chance in h*ll! It will probably make me appreciate them more though. My hope is that it will make the kids appreciate the little luxuries in life more too!

Don’t get me wrong. I know I should be thrilled that we sold our house in six weeks. AND it was our decision to sell it prior to building. We knew we’d need to rent. We just had no idea WHAT we would have to rent. Could we have done anything differently to avoid this situation? Not really. So we must keep our chins up and know that in a few months we’ll have our new home.
