*We're trying to move!*
Not far, still in SC. (sorry west-coasters. we aren't getting any closer.) Also note the word "try". It's been very challenging! Who knew there was sooooo much you had to do to get land ready for habitation?! OK so we knew most of it, but that doesn't mean it's not time and money consuming. I won't bore you with the details, but lets just say it's a LOT!
*We're trying to sell/rent our current house!*
Also a challenge. Our house is a little bit torn up at the moment (read: being renovated), because we're still on the fence about the buy vs. rent argument. Each side has it's pros and cons. I'm pro-anything-that-gets-us-out-of-this-house-and-into-the-new-house-without-losing-money-or-getting-deeper-in-debt. So like I said before: the house is torn up at the moment. Anyone that knows Jesse, knows that he's Webster's definition of "Handy-man". Needless to say, our current house has many fabulous features that have my husband's sweat in them. But with the sagging market for selling and the rising market of renting......it's a tough decision.
*The kids are getting BIGGER!!!*
"Duh!" you say?! yeah well...you got me there. I really shouldn't be surprised. But then I take LouLou to the Dr. and find out how much she's grown, or take out a picture of Syd as a baby and I get all nostalgic. Time is flying, and there's not enough battery life in my camera to capture it all!!!! And I know I can't (read: shouldn't) keep all of their baby stuff.....but dang it! It's hard to let go of my baby's time being a baby! (read: Why oh Why can't they stay this little and cute forever?!?!*sniffle*)
*I'm going crazy!*
Also "Duh"?! Again.......you got me there. It seems that juggling being a mommy with 2 other jobs, a home renovation, and home building has left me very little down or me-time. See? I'm even taking a brief over-lapping nap time to write this up. That's what I mean: crazy as a loon! while I could be
painting my toe nails, or even getting a shower (by myself), here I am catching up on some neglected blogging. Oh, well. A Mom's job is never done. Maybe the next post won't be so far off.....if I can ever slow down for a minute!
