cha cha cha changes....

SO, a million things are swirling around me at the moment.  so many things in fact that i feel like crawling into a hole and ignoring pretty much all of it.  

because i have so many things and i am tired and want to ignore it, a bullet point post will have to suffice.

-my husband is home on leave.  for three weeks.  where he has to go to training 8a-4p monday through thursday.  the kids have enjoyed having him home and i feel like it's just one more person who doesn't appreciate the amount of crap i do.  whatever.

-we are moving.  soon.  the mister is flying back to where he is working and i'm taking the kids out on a month long road trip.  this could be the trip of a life time or the trip from hell.  i'm sincerely rooting for the former.

-but we get to visit some pretty incredible people during that month so i'm stoked.

-i scored an amazing home.  nothing we've EVER been able to live in before.  2700 square feet.  4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, two car garage, fenced backyard, a deck, full finished basement, a den, living room, stainless steel appliances.  my cousin went and looked at it for me and came back with the thumbs up.  i'm so freaking excited to be living in a detached home and actually feel like a grown up.  dude, you have no idea.

-the day we move into our home is also the first day of my kids school.  yuck.  that's going to suck. oh, and their school starts at 7:50am.  yikes, that's early!  the girls are not looking forward to that at all.

-my last day of work was last wednesday.  it sprang up on me since i was expecting to work until the end of the month.  i was grateful and heartbroken all rolled into one.  grateful that i won't have to babysit massive amounts of children but heartbroken that i won't be seeing those endearing kids anymore.  so many of them i've watched grow since they were babies.  i just adore most of them and enjoyed having them in my life for the two hours a day i worked.  and the ladies i worked with?  those are some of the most amazing women i've ever been blessed to know.  so many of them have changed my life for the better, brightened my day, made me feel like i was worth something.  i will forever love the gym i worked at and i will miss it terribly. 

-i've been ill the past two days.  have i ever mentioned how emotional i get when i'm sick.  yeah, i do.

-my son has to get another brace for his leg.  just one leg this time and i'm hoping it will help him.  it's either force him to wear the brace or surgery.  i don't want him to have surgery.

-i'm stressed.  i'm stressed about all the stuff i'm going to have to do.  all by myself.  i have to drive all my kids and myself across the country, get them registered for school, buy all their school supplies and clothes (all while living in a hotel room), move into our new home all by myself, unpack all by myself, schedule new doctors, dentists etc.  all by myself.  i know that i can do it, that's not the issue.  it's just so much of it has to happen all at once.  oh, and i have to entertain a three year old as well.  stress.

alright.  i know there must be more but i'm tired from being sick and i have a headache thinking about everything.  so i'm going to bed.  goodnight.
