I'm Back

[Guest guest]

What have I missed? Viv, you are moving to Spokane I take it? When

will this take place? I wish I could offer some great advice but I am

too burdened with boxes to even be able to think clearly. I am soooo

sick of boxes. Will you move with a moving company or yourself? This

was our first time with a moving company and I will never do it again!

My crafts and craft supplies got hit the hardest and our monitor was

packed upside down so now everything doesn't show up on the full

screen - it has black on a 1/2 inch on each side.

Hubby and I were very close to a divorce with this move - I haven't

been that mad at him in a loooonnnnngggggg time. He got up that

Friday morning when we were to close on this house and he had to go to

his work first so he said he would meet me at the house at 8:30 - I

asked why when we were to close at 9:00 - why would we go to the house

first. Well, he told the movers they could come in early and so they

were here while we were at the closing. I get so mad just thinking

about it!!!!!! If I could have gotten ahold of them, I would have

changed it. I drew up the floor plan and where the boxes were to go -

they didn't pay any attention to it. UGHHHHH. They packed our stuff

in one day instead of two and now I am finding out we are paying for

that fact. I had boxes packed still from our move a year ago and they

went and put other things in them - like I had a few boxes that were

from my growing up years - they put my waffle iron in the one. Thank

goodness I checked it - I never would have because it was labeled

something that I would have left packed for a long, long time. I am

just wondering how many more of those kinds of things I am going to

run into. Now I know to look in every box. The one box of craft

things that I had made and was selling up until the week we moved they

put in another box with other things and had heavy items sitting on my

wreaths and swags and my clay pot people next to my wooden birdhouses.

I literally walked away after just seeing the top of that box and

left it sit for four days. I was too upset to deal with it at the

time.

I like where we are and I am meeting people. My son still has met

more then me! I don't like our house still but hopefully once the

boxes disappear and everything is painted and decorated, that will

change. Oh, I hope it does. I hate that feeling.

I went and got my hair hightlighted today and spent too much money on

that and clothes. I just bought two outfits but that adds up,

especially since only a two of the things were on sale. I love buying

things on sale. Maybe that is what is making me feel so guilty. I

shouldn't be spending money right now but with that awful All School

reunion coming up I did need some things. I did buy a size 13/14 in a

stretch capri pant and a size 16 jean short so I guess that proves I

did lose something and I am no longer a size 18.

Sorry I am so long winded tonight!!!!

I am so sorry your move has been so stressful and that some of your

things were damages in the move! I can't believe they moved your

stuff into other boxes....how rude! That makes it so much more

difficult because you have no idea where your things are.....kind of

defeats the whole purpose of you labeling your own boxes, huh? I'm

glad that you like where you are and that you and your son are

meeting new people! I know you were worried about how your son would

handle the move! I'm sure you'll like your house once you have the

chance to get everything situated and can start adding your own

personal touches!

Congratulations on the smaller size clothes! You are definitely

making progress! Now that the stess of the move is behind you....I

hope you can get back into a routine! You can use those boxes as

something for you to kick over (or at, I guess.....LOL)! Good luck

getting situated! I hope you can start enjoying your new home soon
