This has been a very strange interesting month. In some ways, I don't even feel like myself right now....or, I feel like I've changed. How can that be? Maybe it's just exhaustion and confusion from the non-stop packing. From the moment I wake up....until we go to bed (usually early) I'm on the move. Gone are my relaxed days with multiple coffee breaks.....a-hem, blogging breaks. Gone are my evenings with a glass of wine or cup of tea. I love having some wind down time in the evening. They are gone for now....but not forever. February is turning out to be a "limbo month" for us. Our routine is on hold....it feels like our life is on hold. Actually, just in transition.
( It's so strange to see the playroom packed up)
G has been traveling....and will continue to travel for the rest of the month. He is currently stuck in a snowstorm in Maryland(airports closed)....we are currently 2 ships passing in the night. But...again...this is temporary. What a strange month. We are making the final plans for the move. I'm looking forward to getting settled and to investigate our new city. I'm not looking forward to missing our loved ones. Wahhhhhh....that's me crying like a baby. But, I'm hopeful too. If I get myself to focus....I get downright excited.
The house doesn't really feel like home right now. Many pieces of furniture have been put into storage. As soon as we move, we will list it for sale. My mom, the realtor, already has everything ready to go. I'm praying that the Lord brings a buyer....the right buyer....quickly. I pray that the next owner will enjoy this home as much as we did.
Time to go snuggle with the boys and watch Charlie Brown.....hope to check in again soon. Much love to y'all.

Mimi, You are very brave and positive. It can't be easy to handle all the changes and hard work. But you are so blessed to have a wonderful husband and family to be with. God knows better than us what we need, he is guiding you towards where you need to be at this time. It will all work out and you WILL get to rest soon and have that tea and wine.
xoxo
ps, I just yelled into the boys that Charlie Brown is on , thanks to seeing it on your blog now !! :)
Praying for you through this huge move, Mimi!
I forgot to leave my name on the above post...well I didn't forget, it went to the next page before I could put it in!
Oh my gosh. So much to do. I wish I could help you, I really do. This is so hard, so, so hard and I am very sad. But...we have to trust. Let me know if there is anything you need out this way and I will do it for you.
You most certainty have been the Energizer Bunny. I feel like Carla..which I could come help and let you rest your feet for a bit. I agree with you...this is just a transition, and before you know it you will be unpacking and transplanting your roots in a new home, and a new town. Let the days of exploration ahead give you the energy to accomplish what you need today. ((hugs))
Transition...limbo...strange (interesting)...I relate to all of those. It is exciting in many ways, yet sad...I so could have written this post! Thinking of you and praying for you.
Oh good old Charlie Brown. My kids keep replaying the Vday special. Moving on is good but hard. Hope your house sells fast. Lots of change and unknowns. Prayers for you. BTW, I'll email you back as soon as I get a second, probably Sunday. Hang in there.
Thinking of you during such a challenging time. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Packing is a real thrill, isn't it? I HATE touching carboard, it's like nails on a chalkboard - only worse. Eek!
In the past I have gotten so busy with moving that I have forgotten to take it all in. Life is so precious and even though moving comes with so many mixed feelings -you have to take the time to stop and look around at the place that is going to hold your precious memories! I still get sad when I drive by our old apartment, but I'm trying to just learn to smile and let myself feel the warm-fuzzies that God has allowed me to have such wonderful days. You know?
It's a good time for lots of hugs and last photos of your current chapter.
