I have been missing from my blog. You may or may not have noticed...
I wasn't able to participate in OWOH like I had hoped.
Things are moving quickly in my life... and I wasn't able to get anything made to give away.
Travis' transfer back to our home town area was approved.
Good.
And then the ball started rolling.
It rolled really REALLY fast.
First Travis moved.
He's staying with his parents in the town we'll be moving to.
Then over the course of about a 1/2 a week, we realized that our move would be coming sooner than later, and that Ian needed to move too.
So he finished his term early at the school here, and by the next Monday, I was signing him up at a new school, and leaving HIM in the hands of my Mother and Father In Law as well.
We decide on a house to rent.
I can hear the ball moving...
I've been TRYING to get some things in order and ready here and there. It's tiring work, and at the end of the day I look back and wonder what the CRAP I did all day... but ends are being tied, and that's what matters. Looks like the move will happen at the end of Feb, I'm thinking.
BUT
OH
HO
NO!!
It's happening by the 15th of Feb.
THAT'S LIKE TWO WEEKS!!!
And now, I'm looking at packing up my entire house and moving in two weeks. TWO WEEKS.
So I have some news coming on the 1st, that I'll try to share... otherwise, I may be a few weeks blogging. lol I'm just feeling a HAIR frazzled.
Totally overwhelmed.
Really?
When I get like this,
I'd rather be sleeping.

...and, um, those two weeks go by fast. Just saying...you know...from experience. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read about this happening! I know we have been in similar shoes in regard to needing a change of scenery. ;-)
::hugs::
ReplyDeleteA local friend of ours just found out they needed to move...to Montana no less...in 10 days. So it could be worse. ;)
I have total faith in you. It's hard and stressful. Make lots of lists and cross it off as you go so at the end of the day you can SEE what you accomplished (oh, how I love lists). Upbeat music helps too. So does chocolate. And friends (if I could be there - you know, if we weren't doing the same thing right now - I totally would). Call in some favors, call in some chocolate and pop in some good tunes.
You are strong, you are capable. You are woman!
You can do it!!
Hang in there! You can do it :)
ReplyDeleteA little caffeine, some chocolate--sleep is so over rated...
oh wow..good luck with all your endeavors. I know it seems like a lot and it is,but you will pull it off. You're Rachel Whetzel for pete''s sake..you do amazing things. Good luck and take care.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you. Change is a difficult thing to deal with no matter what. Thinking of you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.....hang in there girl. What a big event to do in such a short time!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I noticed. But I suspected it was about the move. YOU are a major trooper. This is temporary, just try to tell yourself that when you're in the whirlwind. One day, it will be past, and OWOH will be here next year for you.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't contribute, either. But when you get settled, I want to send you something. Make emailing me your new addy a huge priority in your day, okay?
Ho...if anyone can do it...you can do it!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh Rachel! Good luck! Just moved house myself at the beginning of December, it's a pain in the butt but a good motivator to have a really good sort through :)
ReplyDeleteWhew - I'm whirling just from the description! Good luck, and may I pass along the song I always sing with my kiddos (ok, so it's just for cleaning their rooms...but I think it could be fun here):
ReplyDeleteStep by Step
Bit By Bit

We get the job done.
(Sung to whatever tune pops in your head.) :)
Deep breaths - its an exciting time!!
Wow do I ever feel for you! Best of luck. Take care of yourself and your family, and do not worry about your blog. Something tells me everyone here totally understands. And we'll all patiently await your return. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a rock woman.. I have complete faith that you will get through this swimmingly... chin up girl. I pray it all goes smoothly!
