No, we are NOT moving again. It’s just that I still talk about the “big move” and things related to it quite a bit so it’s in the title of this post. K? K. Actually, it’s been over nine months since we moved and things are going well. Of course it has it’s “pros” and…
Absent on a Snow Day
I have been contemplating a post in which I state that it takes about 7 months to get used to living in a new place… here’s my meager attempt. We’ve made some friends through Tim’s work and through the Moms Club I’ve joined. We now have about 3-4 babysitters we can call on (mostly teenage…
So, We’ve Been Here Long Enough Now…
… that I’m sorta getting used to all the rain. … that the garage door actually works correctly. We no longer have to hold the button down the ENTIRE time the door is going down, until it makes it to the cement ground. (okay, it’s been fixed for a few weeks now, but I still…
Ramble-riffic!
Today my feet are not swollen but every other day in the last week, they have been. So, I’m counting my lucky stars right now. What makes this happen? How can I prevent it? Doesn’t someone know? Ugh. Oh and I’m T.I.R.E.D. Like exhausted. Is this partly my fault for staying up too late every…
Remembering the Last Time I Did This
Since we recently uprooted ourselves and moved to an entirely new town, I’ve been pondering memories of the only other time I made such a BIG move in my life. It was the week I left for college. Until then I lived in the same town and went to the same schools since Kindergarten. Just…
I’ve Come to Depend on You
Yesterday was a less than stellar day. I spent the majority of it wallowing in self pity and laying on some soft-ish surface in the house. It wasn’t one of my better days. Probably one of the worst actually. It started out with the boys collectively behaving THE worst they have EVER behaved in church…
Oven-less
So, we’ve been without an oven since we moved into this house. I’m not sure if I’ve ever out-right said it but we are renting and right now…. Renting sucks. At least when you own a place you can get your stuff fixed on your time. And it’s turning out that Louisiana time is a…
No.
Last night Tim walked into the living room from the kitchen and he asked me if I was starting to feel like this was home. I broke down. The answer was “No.” Yes, this new-to-us house has all of our things in it. Yes, my three boys are here and my girl kicks enthusiastically in…
Bloom Where You Are Planted
When I was in my late teens/early twenties I LOVED the illustrations and sentiments of Mary Engelbreit’s work. I used to buy her yearly desk calendars and then cut out the pictures and make cards out of them. I guess that was sort of the beginning of my scrapbooking/card making days. One of the illustrations…
Out With the Old, In With the New
I got my hair CUT and colored today. I’m pregnant. We are moving. My old house is empty. The contents of my new house sit in a trailer somewhere in Louisiana. My ankles are SWOL-LEN! BIG change is upon us. A new house. A new baby GIRL. A new group of friends. A new church….
