Sigh. I hate this feeling of hurry, hurry, hurry, get all this stuff done, then wait, wait, wait. It's so hard, sometimes, "knowing" exactly what the near future holds, knowing all the things that will be happening soon, but not soon enough...
We close on our NEW HOUSE (!!!) this Friday, and we'll be going over plans for finishing the basement with a contractor following closing. We officially got our house in Kirksville on the market this week - there's a sign in the yard, and everything! - and the first Open House is this Saturday.
**I must take this opportunity to mention that if you are a smart person, you would not try to live in a house you're trying to sell when you have 3 young boys! Many, many headaches will follow if you do...
We got a near confirmation of some pretty big, pretty life-changing, news this afternoon - I am not quite free to expound on this yet, but it shouldn't be too much longer. :)
Soon, my daughter, my oldest child, will be "graduating" from middle and will officially become a high schooler. Not too long after that, D will turn 8, then M will turn 14, then N will turn 4, then J will turn 2. N will be starting preschool in August, when M is starting 9th grade, and D is starting 3rd. When did all this time pass?
Soon we will actually live within about an hour's drive of Miss M, 2 of my sisters (and their kids), and my Dad. We will finally be able to have family come visit us more than once every 4 years, and be able to visit family without having to stay with one of them and be totally stressed out the whole time. Finally, we will have a house big enough for my brother, sisters, and their families, to congregate at and celebrate our Mom's Christmas.
Soon, I won't have to go 2-3 months between visits with my daughter.
All of this soon, yet still so far away!
And not so far away?? The cleaning... Man, that stuff never makes ya wait, ya know?
