Yep, I am still here
I know, I know…it has been way too long since I have written anything! Believe me, I have so many things to say and to update you on. But time is not my friend right now! I need about 5 more hours in a day or the ability to not have to sleep would be great too!
So what has been going on in the McMullen world you may ask? Well here is a short list:
- Packing, sorting, purging, packing, sorting, purging…you get the drift right? It just hit me last night that our moving truck is being loaded in 2 short weeks. Yikes! I probably shouldn’t be sitting here writing this, but well you know!
- Trying to finish work out, and get everything transitioned well.
- Running my 3 kids from here and there and then back again.
- Getting ready for a garage sale and running that for 2 days – thank goodness that is over!
- Running a household, or at least doing the best I can right now.
Then There Is California:
- Helping Daryl make decisions on housing in CA – hallelujah that is over! Talk about stress beyond belief…yeeks! The good news though, we have a place to live in Cali!
- Trying to get schools figured out and make sure we have everything in place for that transition now.
- Starting the process of cancelling things here and getting things started there.
- Figuring out what furniture we are taking with us and what we are leaving here. This part absolutely makes my brain hurt!
- Trying to get times scheduled for my kids to have some one-on-one time with their friends before we depart.
- Still trying to be a good friend and spend time with those I love! One thing I want to make sure of is that I don’t look back on these last few weeks here and wish I would have spent more time with friends!
- Wondering what kind of moving materials we need to make sure the furniture we are taking makes it in one piece.
- Do we really have to find a whole new bank? Yeah, we really do, but because our credit union has shared branches out there we can hold off on that for a bit longer.
- Getting ready to go to DC with Rachel for her 8th grade trip. To be honest, I am kind of looking forward to a break from my life right now…even if it is with a bunch of middle schoolers!
- Doing my best to not forget what it is like to be married – to say it has been a very rough last couple of weeks would be an understatement! There are so many feelings floating around for both of us right now, but I will save that for another blog post.
- Did I mention packing, sorting purging? Oh yes, yes I did 🙂
With all the things on my to do list I have barely had time to think about how I am feeling! Most days I think I am doing ok, and then I decide to take all the pictures off my family room wall, and that sends me into a mini melt down!
I know without a shadow of a doubt that the next few weeks are going to hard on so many levels. All I can do is hold on to God with all I have right now and continue to trust that we are following His plan for our lives!
Until next time friends, just remember…it won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it!
These last 2 weeks have been rough! Well, if I am being completely honest they have just down right sucked. I am trying hard to stay positive, keep my head above water and not just end up mad at the world. Some days I do better than others, but man am I ready for some normalcy!
