I realize now that when I originally decided to start up this site, I wanted to integrate useful information about various subjects, advice, tips as well as a good dose of blogging, into my daily articles.
Somewhere along the way, I lost my way. But, I really want to do my utmost to include more blogging in my entries. I don’t want to focus on doing them daily, since I don’t believe my life is so important that you’d want to read about what I do every second of every day, and I would also like to keep some measure of privacy for myself and my family, but I just want to give an occasional blog entry and see where it goes from there.
Yesterday was spent as a marathon of days. I spent most of the day making phone calls, cooking, cleaning, and packing things. As some of you may already know, we are in the process of packing up and moving out of state.
My husband was also extremely busy trying to do a lot of things as well, and did accomplish a lot, might I add.
Moving out of state was a mutual decision really, I suppose that both my husband and I get somewhat itchy when we’re in one place for too long. Especially if we feel that the place we are living in, is not offering what we need anymore. We’ve been from city to city, state to state, and each time we moved it was for a very good reason. This time is no different.
We want to have our son grow up in a family atmosphere. We want him to have aunts and uncles and grandparents and all these things. For now, only my Mom lives in this state and she sees us about 5-6 times a year for a few days at a time, here and there. It surely isn’t enough to keep us in this state. She could always fly over to us, in the future, for a longer period of time, and spend just the same amount of time with us.
So, back to what I was saying earlier. We’ve been packing, and getting rid of extras, so last week I e-mailed everyone I knew in our area to get our furniture, if they needed it, and we are still waiting for people to pick things up.
It is quite frustrating, because although Iwant to benefit those friends around me, part of me is still frustrated that I’m endlessly waiting for those people who want things, but haven’t come to get it yet.
At some point, the salvation army or goodwill will be called, to come and pick up the big items. At that point, I believe that a lot of stress will fly out the door because I’m very interested in getting rid of all the large items, then I think the small little personal items, will be easier to deal with. For some reason, I think that will give me a lot of relief and I won’t be as stressed.
But, here I am. I woke up after only 4-5 hours of sleep and made enough noise (while getting up) to wake my son, so I had to bring him to our big green monster of a futon, and he’s currently asleep beside me.
So, for now, I’ll finish this post and see if I can get a bite to eat before thinking about possibly falling back into bed. It’s still super early here, around 7 am.
So, I guess the packing will have to wait until later…
