Crazy weekend
On Tuesday we found out that we have to move. Yup, after 12 years in the same place, and hoping to spend at least three more to get the kids through high school, the hammer came down and my husband’s office is closing and we’re being relocated. Couldn’t they have at least waiting until after Christmas to drop the bomb.
After much tears, from both me and my daughter, we all tried to find the positive in the situation and took off to the city to look for land (my husband would like to build) or houses for sale.
Now I’m home, with a stiff neck, headache and still no further ahead. Sure we did our research, arming ourselves with real estate/lots for sale before we ventured off. Most new subdivisions had signs boasting ONLY A FEW LOTS LEFT. Well, now I know why those particular lots were left. They were either in a ravine or on a cliff top. I kid you not!
I know we don’t have a lot of time to find a place and I know we should head back into the city tomorrow but all I want to do is stick my head in the sand and hope it all goes away. If my neck wasn’t so damn stiff then that exactly what I’d do.
With all this commotion I’m certainly not in the holiday spirit, and would be happy to let it all pass by quietly, but I have kids and that’s just not fair to them. We’re putting the tree up tonight and I’m going to make hot chocolate and put on Christmas music and we’re all going to get into the spirit of the season, dammit!!
How is your holiday season coming along?

So sorry you have to pack up and move. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like. Though I do understand about being a teenager and having to move in the middle of high school. My parents and I had to move right after my Sophomore year and I thought it was just horrible. I still don’t think of my graduating HS and MY HS.
Our season is coming along. I’m torn between having it drag out and wanting to get it over with.
