(a picture from a recent visit with dear friends from Pittsburgh, whom we miss very much!)
I just laid Caitlin down for the night...I can hear her singing/humming with her glow worm. Seeing her end her day always makes me extra tired. It was just such a long day at work, I felt crabby all morning, the kids behavior was very distracted b/c they'd just come back from 2 snow days, I didn't get lunch until 1:30, and I just felt really unprofessional and disorganized.
The update is that we are planning to move in a week. We are going to pack throughout the week and haul everything to the house next Saturday...so this week will be one of preparations and last min. touches at the house. I WISH our bedroom was ready, but I don't believe we'll be using it for a couple of weeks...fortunately we can set up the bed, etc. in our spare room--though it will be tighter quarters than our master bedroom...but I'm anxious to have that room DONE before we haul things up there. I WILL post pics in the near future...we are just currently w/o a digicam, so I'll have to have family send me whatever pictures they take. I am soooo very anxious to be home. I am anxious to truly feel like an adult and to not be in someone else's space, though family has been overwhelmingly generous...I really need some autonomy to feel more sane. My work is so demanding, my husband's schedule is demanding and our daughter is a busy little lady who needs to be nurtured and played with and I desperately need the experience of coming home to my own space to just "be" after a long day. (It's also hard to share a fridge ;))--I have very different ideas about food, storage, food-buying...and I don't want to force that on anyone else...so I gotta get back to my own fridge.
Okay~ I should get some rest or construct some boxes to prepare for move #6 in the 5 years of Frey-Wagg family life! Atleast we are FINALLY going to a HOUSE that we'll be in for many years (Lord willing).
Love to all~
