The new place

What can I say? I'm here. Since Bart has lived here two months, all my stuff coming in kind of made the place a mess ... which isn't something a neat freak likes! How can things not be a mess when you're moving?? You can't really not have boxes to unpack, etc.

A lot of my things went into the storage that's two doors down, which is fine ... I know everything from the townhouse won't fit in the apartment. What is driving me crazy is the fact that there are things I need from storage to make kits, etc for my store. Okay ... maybe that shouldn't be a big priority right now but it would give me something to do! Most of what is in here is unpacked, and what isn't is all scrapbook stuff. I'm waiting to unpack that once everything else is in it's place. So ... where does that leave me??

I'm not a big TV person, so I don't really like spending my evenings watching TV. There is only so much a person can do on the computer. Last night I took Socrates for a long walk to pass the time, but tonight it's raining. So here I am ... stuck! I hate it!! I'm about ready to cry!!! I feel like I'm missing out on things because half of my life is locked up in storage. Stupid??

The movers are here

The movers are here and they are quickly taking all the boxes and packing them in the truck. My mom and I got almost everything packed, but there is still some things here and there that needs put in boxes. I'm wondering how it's all going to fit into the apartment! Going from a townhouse to an apartment isn't an easy task!!

I'm sitting outside on the deck because I'm having horrible back spasms and can't really do anything without irritating it. So here I am ... helpless. Luckily it's a beautiful day (except the sun is hiding behind the dark clouds. The temperature is perfect, it's barely 70 ... it does look like rain, but hopefully it doesn't rain.

Mom and Dad got here yesterday and we packed up the kitchen and took the kitchen and bedroom stuff over and unpacked it. Okay, my mom unpacked most of it while I took a nap. They brought Bryce, he spent the hot day at my sisters swimming in the pool! (Lucky him!) Nicholas has a double header today, and Bryce is really looking forward to seeing him play baseball. After the first game, my parents and Bryce are heading home. Hopefully I'll get to see Bryce before they go.

It's rather depressing sitting out here knowing it's one of the last time's I'll be sitting here. There's so many memories here!!! I really wish I hadn't jumped the gun a few months ago. I'm really going to miss living here. Last night Mike and I talked, I'm going to miss having him next door. It's not often you have such a great neighbor!!!

I hope things start looking up ...

Packing

Pack, pack, pack ... that seems to be all I've been doing lately. Packing or complaining about how much packing I have to do. Thankfully my m, om packed most of it when she was here; otherwise I wouldn't know what to do!! I've been tackling the basement ... talk about overwhelming!!! My basement is where my scrapbook room is ... well, my basement IS my scrapbook room (minus Bart's office). It has needed cleaned and organized for a long time, so you can only imagine how packing is!! I've been trying to organize as I pack rather than just throwing it all in boxes. Let me tell you, that's a task in itself!!
Last night I was thinking about everything I had packed and patting myself on the back. Then I went down to do some more only to see that you really couldn't tell I had done anything!!! I still couldn't see much carpet or table tops! I have boxes for friends, a box or two for eBay, it's just WAY too much stuff!!

My parents will be here any minute to help. Then tomorrow I have movers coming to haul it and move it! I will be SO happy to get this over with ... I hate moving! And to think in a year or so I have to do it all again!!!

Friday's SHOULD be good, right?

After a hellishness week of no ups just downs and TONS of tears, I don't even have the weekend to enjoy. I work! What's even worse is my parents are in town and today my mom has spent the day slaving away in my house packing while I slept. Talk about feeling guilty! She packed up the nursery because there was absolutely no why I could have done that! Then she has just been one lean mean packing machine!!
We're going to knock out my scrapbook room on one of my days off ... thankfully someone to help with that gigantic task!!!!! I don't know how I could have done this without her. And to top it off, she's here until Thursday!!! :) YEAH!!!!!

But alas, I work ... so I'm no help until Sunday! :(

Living in a half empty house

Do you know how it feels to come home to a house that was once full of furniture, and one day it's virtually empty??
Where there was once a couch and coffee table is just emptiness, where there was once a big bed with tons of blankets and quilts, is pure air. Nothing to cook with, but things to eat on ... a blanket to sleep under, but still cold. A half empty closet that was once packed with clothes.

I've done my share (and then some) of crying today. Couldn't go into work because my depression has once again gotten a hold of me! I'm at the end of my rope yet again, I seem to find myself here often! I just hope I can find the knot to hold onto!!!
