I know, it’s been a long couple of weeks. I left without even saying I was leaving. And for that, I do apologize. Things happened and we decided to move over the 4th of July weekend. I haven’t had time to get online anywhere and was having some major issues trying to get internet service here. You’d think I was in the middle of nowhere. But of course, the people behind the desks at the ISP’s I contacted were just a little bit on the dumb side if you will. Turns out the very first place I called, good ole Time Warner Cable, does service the area and has for years! I suggest they work on their employees’ capabilities, but that’s besides the point.
I have internet! Yay!
The move has been a little bit {ok EXTREMELY} insane and I am really surprised that I have any sanity left at all. The past 4 months have been crazy, or so I thought until now. It’s getting more overwhelming as the days go by. Maybe it’s because all of the change is really setting in now that we are somewhere new and I don’t know where half of my stuff is. It doesn’t help that the front of the house isn’t done, which houses my bedroom, my safe little haven where I would always go to escape it all. For now, I have a mattress in the living room. At least everyone else has their rooms, I suppose, but that doesn’t really do me any bit of good now, does it?
The house is coming along great. The back is done and it looks beautiful. I do love it here, I really do. We all do. Even Lil Man is all on board now that he met a friend and caught a 15″ bass! The kids are loving that they can go right out their backyard and fish every day.
I do have some pictures and I promise to share them soon. I thought I was some sort of Super Mom I guess and I’d have time for everything. Now, I wonder when I’ll have time for a good night’s sleep. You should see the bags under my eyes most days. The good news is that all this stress is making me lose weight at a pretty decent rate! I’ve gone down 2 whole pant sizes and about to hit the 3rd. I’m not quite brave enough to step on that scale yet, but soon! I feel a little more comfortable in my skin every day.
The loss of my dad still kills me inside every single day. I don’t know if that pain will ever go away. I do try to find peace within myself knowing that all of this is really a blessing from him and from dear God up above. The way that things have worked out in every aspect of this house and beyond, I know that it’s just not cooincidence. They’ve found quirky little ways to give us all things that we’ve wanted and or needed and so many silly signs that makie us know it came from him in a way. But I swear, I’d still give it all back to have him here again. Some days I miss my old life, even that tiny little house because it really was fine for just the 4 of us.
Alright, enough ranting from me. I know the words are all rambled together, but heh, sometimes that’s just how I roll. I just wanted to say hi and let you all know I’m back and I have some fun stuff in store for you if you’ve been folloing the “Summer Fun & Moving Event”! I’ll be catchign up on that either this evening or most likely first thing tomorrow.
