That's how life feels right now.
Last week we signed the papers on a big ol' fixer upper in a small town about 30 minutes from where we live. It cuts my husband's commute in half. Yay! But, we're giving up our 2 acres for less than half an acre in town. We'll be increasing our home size by almost double once we get all the renovations done (umm...years and years from now ;) ), and we're decreasing our debt in a HUGE way.
So, life is insane right now. The children and I are packing. We even had a showing this week and we haven't even listed our house to sell! So, with all the packing, sorting, cleaning, and working to keep up with the most basic of schooling, I am definitely On The Move. I sure do feel more physically tired when night time comes. That's a good thing. :)
I'm doing my best to keep up my diet, but I admit. I often forget to eat and even test. I need to be careful to keep up with what I need to do there so that I don't undo all my hard work. I'm not checking in here as often simply because there's not a ton to report other than that I'm trying to keep my head above water.
We are working to be done packing by the 27th when we close on the house. Then we'll move our energies over to the renovations and cleaning that needs to happen there before we can move in. In the meantime, I'm plugging away at schooling, testing, my duties on the convention comittee since that is happening at the end of March, (yikes!) my GD needs, appts for baby, (every two weeks now???) GD appts., and those easier tasks like training and caring for the needs of a family of 9 soon to be 10.
Just *think* of how fast this last trimester is going to go!! :D
Congratulations on the house! And in decreasing your debt... and all the benefits of your "new" house. I will be praying you are happy where you are headed. Having an acreage but more debt, less time with hubby, etc. isn't necessarily than having a smaller plot of land. (Of course you know this.) Praying the switch goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteKeep your head afloat. I'll be praying you can still with health(ier) habits with your GD diet. Did you get the package yet? Hope so. :)
Got my package this week, BrandyLynn. THANK YOU!! I'm so very grateful.
