2 steps forward, 6 steps back

I feel so overwhelmed right now.... but let me start from the beginning. Yesterday I was rushing around trying to get everything together so that we could go over to Joe's sister's house for Christmas with all of them. While I was trying to make my raspberry jello salad, I discovered that the hot water in the front bathroom wouldn't turn on. I thought that it was weird but paid no attention to it because the faucets everywhere else were working fine. So we went to Susanna's house and I got to talking to Joe's brother (Jay) about the faucet, and he said that it was probably frozen. He told me to go home, open up the cabinet door, and put a space heater in front of it. He said it should fix the problem. So the rest of the night I had a blast. I got to hang out with all Joe's family and really clear my head. It gave me a chance to interact with people over the age of 5. I felt like I had really overcome my Christmas blues. Then I went home, did everything Jay said, and went to bed. When I woke up this morning, I went to check that faucet, and I discovered that not only was the hot water side frozen, but so was the cold water side!! I proceeded to check all the faucets in the house only to discover that the ONLY faucet working was the cold water side in the kitchen!! I have NO hot water. Then I talked to Jay and he told me that pretty much all I can do is sit, wait, hope that it warms up enough to thaw my pipes, and also pray that they don't burst. I am about in tears. I went from being hopeful and optimistic one day to depressed and feeling completely helpless the very next day. And it's just all made worse because Joe's not here. I just feel that if Joe were here this wouldn't have happened. He would have known to leave the faucets running a little bit.... he would be here to help me deal with this. But no... I'm here all alone with no hot water. I miss Joe so bad. I have cried off and on all day. And to top it all off.... I was suppose to leave for my mom's today (because it's suppose to snow tomorrow) but unless my pipes unfreeze by this afternoon... I can't even leave yet!!! I don't know what to do. I feel completely helpless and right now... I just want to crawl in a hole and die.
