I apologize for not making any posts for such a long time. Moving has got to be one of the worst things in life. No wonder it is rated one of the most stressful things you can do. So much to do, so little time to do it!!
It's not just the moving, but we have to prepare our current house for sale.....and we even decided to take the easy way out and move before putting it up for sale. I could not see us keeping our house perfectly clean and straightened for weeks, and having to vacate the premises every time the real estate agent wanted to show it. Ummm.....no. So we are moving to the new house and cleaning this one out before putting it up for sale. It will make readying this house for sale easier as well. I need to paint and replace the carpet in one bedroom, and have all the other carpets cleaned. It will also make cleaning the house quicker and easier with no furniture or wall decor.
On top of cleaning and fixing our present house, we also have loads to do at the new house. We wanted to replace the flooring in the kitchen, family room and hall with grey engineered hardwood, paint several of the rooms, and replace all the kitchen cabinets. Just looking for flooring, cabinets and appliances is very time consuming, not to mention we want grey stained cabinets which are about as easy to find as a live unicorn. We could get unfinished and stain them ourselves, but where would we find the time to do that??
I want to pull out my hair!!!!!

On top of everything else, we have to put a filter on our well because the water has a really high salt content. I am finding out that a system that can filter out salt is dang expensive! At least a whole house filtration system is. My husband and I know nothing about this kind of thing, we are city people! We are used to just turning on the faucet and out come water that tastes good. Not so with country living where your water comes from the ground and you have to deal with the water you have, taking whatever steps are necessary to make it palatable and good to wash your clothes. |

It is just a really bad time now, so many things to do and so little time to do them, the stress is really high. I try to keep it in check by imagining myself feeding chickens and gathering eggs, and working in my greenhouse. I have faith that it will come to pass, so it helps a lot. I just wish I could fast forward my life about two months, I know it will be much better then!
I will post again when I have time, don't give up on me! Jade :) |
