In less than twenty-four hours we will be homeowners. I still can't believe it's really happening. It's strange how everything has worked out for us so quickly. I really thought it would take a lot longer to actually FIND a house. Must be due to all the HGTV we've been watching. Well, WERE watching. I can't take much of it lately. Too many ideas and projects. My mind is overloaded right now. I don't know that I really believed in "good stress" until this whole experience. We've had our share of "bad stress" too, though. House a mess? Bad stress. Down payment half what we expected? Good stress. It's all still stress. I wish God had blessed me with the ability to let it roll off of me. On the positive side, if that which does not kill us makes us stronger, I'm going to be pretty impressive after this.
I'm still packing. With the kids at my mom's it seems like it should be going faster, but instead, here I am writing when I should be packing. Shame on me. It gives me a way to vent though, even if I don't always write everything I'm thinking. Who really wants to know everything someone else is thinking anyway? I went through the house one last time with Nigel this afternoon. I feel quite a bit better now. Things are more in order now and I can breathe again. Even the closets are cleaner. There's still a lot to do, but I feel more capable.
I really don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight. I'm probably going to feel sick to my stomach all day. I swear, the last time I was nauseous this much it was morning sickness. No chance of that this time! Wow. The thought of being pregnant right now is more than a little scary. Although, I've been pregnant both times we moved before so it's almost like breaking tradition. I'm not opposed to the idea of more children, but now is not a good time! I'd like to think I'll get to experience pregnancy at least one more time. I've been through it twice and it still amazes me. I am a bit concerned that having another child will drain out what's left of my brain. Maybe I'll wait until I'm done using it.
At least if I'm not sleeping I can get more packing done, right? Right. Me, the Queen of Procrastination. Might as well be the Queen of something.
