Because I'm buying an old house with really old knob and tube wiring, I figured the easiest way to get my initial insurance policy and get through close would be to stick with the company the current owner's are using. Definitely not cheap but the advantage was they didn't require an inspection beforehand and considering all the time I've had to spend running down there for inspections, that was enough to make me say 'I'll take it!' Of course, I have full intentions of shopping around for another provider just as soon as I take possession and update the electrical system.
Yesterday the mailman added another scene to my ongoing house drama. He brought me the statement from the insurance company, which revealed that the policy was written for $30,000 more coverage on the house than we had agreed upon. If I correct it, that dang GFE will have to be re-written, causing yet another delay. Needless to say I told the agent to leave the policy alone and we would work it out later. Good grief!! Is there one SINGLE element to this home purchase that isn't a cluster ****?!

I don't know you, but I've followed your blog for a while now. I agree with you and I'd like to say, in response to your friend, that I know of several bloggers who have not had the good fortune to have children who easily adjusted. Their bravery in posting about their struggles has been invaluable to others in similar positions. If the only blogs out there are the happy ones, the people who have not been so lucky and are looking for support will feel even more lonely.
That being said, I've not been blessed with children, either by birth or adoption, so I do mainly read to fulfill my "voyeuristic tendencies". I read blogs that make me smile, make my heart ache and long to help the author in some way, ones that educate me and some just to give me a taste of what parenthood would be like.
To you, and your friend- please don't feel like you're bragging or that others won't care to hear about your happy life. When you're having a bad day, sometimes reading about someone else's happiness is just what you need to help pull you through to the end of the day.
Thanks for
