Update

I unofficially moved to Charlotte 2 weeks ago today.  During a "pandemic" and craziness.  We are going back to Waldo today to do more packing and movers to load a truck Saturday so we can have our furniture.  At least we will be able to replace the air mattress with our regular bed and have something other than a folding table to sit at..although we have been grateful for these.  I know I should be excited about having a new place to arrange and decorate, but I just can't bring myself to embrace it, knowing that we will be moving again (hopefully) within another 6-8 months and all of this involves not having my children near...Jake is here, but is working so much and odd hours that we don't even see him. 

I bought Jim a new recliner.  Lord knows he can't sit up and watch TV.  Now I'm on the lookout for a new sofa.  The "new" fad is sectional.  I don't want to buy one of those yet because it might not go with the next place we live, but we need a place to sit and relax.  I have put post it notes on the walls where the furniture is to placed.  Hopefully we wont have to rearrange much. 

I feel like I'm rambling and I suppose I am.  My mind is in too many places and I have to be the upbeat cheerful one to counteract my anxiety ridden, glass almost empty husband because if I get depressed or unsettled he thinks the sky is falling and sometimes that is a full time job in itself.  This particular weekend is Mother's Day and I think that could be part of my problem.  I am spending this Mother's Day moving AWAY from my children and missing my mother.   This too shall pass. 

On a happier note ---God has blessed us.  We are living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood,  Jake is with us, all our children and grandchildren are healthy, Jim has a nice job, we have clothes, food and reliable transportation.  It's time to find my inner child and kick it's little ass. Just had to rant for a few minutes. Now, get on with life.
