I read a quote today that did make me smile a little. It said "Just when you think you can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends"...LOL! How appropriate is this in my life!?
EVERY TIME I get life, finances, job, etc. just something on a good successful route, life comes at me with full force blowing wind to push me back to square 1! Eventually I think I will just learn to stop fighting the force and go with the flow, but somewhere, somehow, stubborness hangs on by a tiny thread!
I can't complain about everything in my life, there are many positives to be noted! One positive includes moving into a beautiful new home! (To be entirely too honest, it's much to big for us, and it's going to be expensive, but because of not being able to get the other homes we applied for, this was the only other choice that wouldn't land us into gang or drug/alcoholic living territory or a home that looked like it could have been a meth lab!! We have 6 months to decided whether or not we want to long term stay...We'll see!) It's a big 5 bedroom home and will give me plenty of opportunity to hold family functions and get togethers with friends. So for that, I am extremely grateful! ALSO, who WOULD'NT love a sauna underneath their stairs?!?! (oddly enough, you open the door under the stairs and expect to see Harry Potters little bedroom and instead are met by a toilet and sink followed by a 2nd door with a sauna behind it! LOL! Pictures/walk through video will be taken!) Anyways, even for just 6 months, this house will rock!
Not so positive changes include more car issues (which means more money being spent on something I would prefer to put to something else!), job uncertainties (BAD timing with being locked into this new home! Though nothing certain just yet, there's just some things going on and I'm not sure how it will pan out!).
I wasn't going to mention another situation that has come up, but I think I just need somewhere to vent! My mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer as well. She's been have problems with her uterus and such anyways, but then they added the diagnosis od cancer on it to boot. They want to have surgery to completely remove her uterus and think that will get rid of all the cancer, but now they are having problems being able to medically clear her for surgery due to other related issues. She was diagnosed back in the beginning of June and aren't looking at clearing her for surgery till the end of July/August time...It's scary to me that they can wait that long! I think what feels even worse though is not being able to be there for her! I mean like mentally and emotionally. I know she has moer physical help than any one person could ask for, but how about mentally and emotionally? My mom is my best friend and it's just hard not to be there for her in the event she just needs to cry on a shoulder you know? I keep in touch by skype, but it's not the same as being able to give her a hug. I will keep updating as I hear. I'm confident everything is fine, but there's always that fear, you know?
Anyways, to end on a positive note, I'm going to spend some quality time with my amazing husband and perhaps a glass (or 2 of wine!) :)
Love you all!!
It's been a good week! Got moved out of the apartment, cleaned it out and got our deposit back. Moved into the new house, unpacked all the boxes and put everything in its place...Wel ALMOST everything! The only thing left to do are minor little projects that will have to wait because they cost money! (i.e. we need a shelf for all our movies which are sitting on the side board, can't afford to get a bookshelf now (we want one from IKEA which matches the rest of our living room furniture) Therefore, it will have to wait till we build up the old bank account again! It feels homey! I like that it's a mixture of old and modern. It creaks like an old house when you go up the stairs and walking around the upstairs area (Which will really make it difficult to for anyone to sneak around as it is so loud! LOL!)It makes other weird creaking and squeaking noises, but I just chalk it up to a house that is settling? It's too new to have any history! I like that there is space t...
