Here we go...

again. Didn't we just do this?

The big move is in full swing and I managed to get a lot of the house packed up this weekend. My only prayer is that I don't need any of what I packed in the next couple of weeks. Saving boxes from our last move was the most brilliant thing I think we've done in a very long time.

Tomorrow is the inspection and while we don't anticipate any problems the truth is you just never know what they'll find. I am excited about having the opportunity to just be inside the house though and will make a trip to the store to buy some fresh batteries for the camera.

I posted our couch and t.v. cabinet on Craigslist to see if we could sell these large items quickly and you know what? Looks like we just might! As of today we've had a number of responses to the ad and now it's just a matter of firming the deal. This is all very good because as of Wednesday our new couch is being delivered and honestly, I have absolutely no idea where we are going to put it. Things are going to get down right comical before we move out of this house. It's just a feeling I'm having.

All in all things are moving along. I am hoping to have a garage sale this Saturday, weather permitting, and finish up the last of the non-essential packing. It's been incredibly hard to concentrate on the things we need to do around here because I immediately moved from being obsessed about finding a house to finding the right paint color for my kitchen. In a single afternoon I went from Crazed House Hunter to Lunatic Interior Decorator. My poor husband.

Check back tomorrow for interior pics of the new abode. Warning: they will be bland and boring and very taupe. Gosh, I just can't wait to get a paintbrush on those walls!

Settling in...

Next month marks our 8th Moved to Kansas City Anniversary. Eight years and I am just now feeling like we are settling in. Life is moving along at a steady clip. I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, but thank goodness it exists or I would never know anything about anybody. Having a small child seems to suck you into this introverted world where all you (feel) like you do is pick up toys, read Little Golden Books and sing The Wheels On the Bus. But, of course, this is only partially true. As disconnected as I feel to the world outside of my home and the Cancer Center, I am that much more connected to my beautiful son. I am learning to accept that "balance" is a myth. Lately, I've spent a lot of time challenging my notion of health and wellness. Robbie and I joined a gym and I am actually committing time to go. In fact, I even made the large investment to work with a personal trainer. I am trying so incredibly hard to hang up my discomfort and unease about my bod...

I knew I was forgetting something...

Writing and keeping a journal has always been cathartic for me and I think often, "I should jot that down." The many " thats " that have gone by since last July are almost too numerous to count, and frankly, I've sadly forgotten most of them. I love to write and this blog is testament to that. Unfortunately, my time and energy is limited these days and given my OCD nature, I can't just write a simple little update without revision and editing. I've always wanted to be sure I am saying what I mean and mean what I say...and if I can do it eloquently with a little additional thought, well even better. And that's where I struggle these days. It seems my brain power is more focused on the miles of pages that need to be read for class, remembering to pick my child up from daycare and staying on top of a job that, at times, consumes more of my life than I'd rather admit. Needless to say, I'm busy and taking time to sit, think, ponder and write (gra...

Gaining wait...

The heaviness of a few extra pounds compares little to the heaviness of grief. I'm feeling quite heavy these days and am impatiently waiting for a lighter spirit. The Daily Cancer Grind makes me weary and a little over a week ago Robbie's cousin lost her precious 4 month old daughter, Kate. Attending the funeral did little to ease the grief, but spending time with Kate's twin sister, her mommy, daddy and other caring relatives helped (a little) in redirecting the anger I was feeling. Am feeling. The grief in that home was palpable. It breathed, rattled the walls. We are losing patients, naturally...the holidays are approaching. I saw it in the funeral industry and the hospice industry and now the cancer care industry. People decline this time of the year. Not that the holidays are depressing enough. It's different this time though. I'm losing friends. Some of these women I see more than my best gal pals. I'm watching their decline and wishing on anything, everyt...
