Moving

 Well, today is the day my folks return! We have missed them like crazy!!! Last night at dinner my 2.5 yo prayed "Papa home, Papa home. Amen!"  :o)  Now the plan has been that we would have our demolding and refinishing of the interior finished and would move back to our house when the came home. Is this the move we make today? No. Sometimes I wonder why we bother to plan. NOTHING ever goes as it should. The disasters that were hiding beneath our sheet rock were too much to conquer in 1 short month. *SIGH* So, my brother, T, has generously agreed to moving out of the basement and is moving to my brother J's house with his family (J has been an a lot of help on the house and I really appreciate him housing T also) . We are going to the basement. I am trying to be filled with gratitude that we have a place to stay and our own space but I am struggling with frustration. I hate moving and did not want yet another upheaval in the kids lives. Then there is the very limited kitchen downstairs...... with our diet cooking 3 meals a day is monumentous anyways, top that with a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher and you have a stressed out mama. Most of our food stuffs is packed away and what we didn't pack has been consumed.  To top it all off the kids and I have colds and I feel cruddy. I have such a hard time having the right attitude when I don't feel good. Sigh, probably an area I need to work on........ Anyhow, all that to say that the comp I have been using to post is upstairs in Mom's office so I will probably not be on here much until we move into our house.
 Well, off to hauling my stuff downstairs!

  1. I'm so sorry. I'm glad you have a place to stay and be warm and dry. Your house will be liveable again soon. Breath in, breath out (through your mouth if your nose is too plugged...) God is good. You'll make it. Love you.

  2. I'm so sorry that things are so rough right now. I'll be praying that you're able to keep a positive outlook. We were all miserable until a couple of days ago. I had a sinus infection, Mercy was coughing until she threw up, and Ryan's cold lasted 10 days, so you know it was bad. He's a 3-5 day guy most of the time. I tried to call today, but no one answered. Then I realized you might not have the same number at you're folks. I'll try to send an e-mail with our number incase you ever want to call.
