I can do it... I can do it... I can do it

Well it has been VERY busy around here. Right now I am packing to go to Utah (I leave on Saturday), packing up our entire house to move to DC right when we get back from Utah. Trying to finish things with my "propery management" job, working for my dad, oh and being a mom.

On top of that - the other day I was in such a hurry to leave that I pushed the garage door opener and then just started backing out instead of waiting for the garage to open. I usually don't do really stupid stuff like this but it just shows how truly scatter brained I am right now. My brain is going in so many different directions...it is hard to just stop and focus on one thing which I think is really hurting me right now. ANYWAY - so on top of moving expenses... we also have to get a new garage. We could have just repaired it... but the model that we have is no longer being made so it is really expensive to get parts so it was only $50 more to get an entire new garage... obviously that is the better choice since we would have probably had to spend more than $50 getting paint to either repaint the entire thing or spending time trying to find an exact match of paint.

Then a day after the garage fiasco...Dan went to take a shower and the water didn't turn on.... what the? So I called Lubbock Power and Light to find out that our bill hadn't been paid and they shut the water off! What the crap!!! I had us set up on an automatic bill pay but about a month ago our credit card number was stolen so we had to shut that card down... well I thought I had switched everything over - but aparently LP&L fell through the cracks. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I was able to convince them not to charge us the $55 fee to turn it back on - but we were without water for the majority of the day. SERIOUSLY?!?! Just another thing to show that I have not been myself and cannot handle this much going on!

The garage and water were just two things that I really did not need to happen. It's hard enough leaving our first home that I love and the people here that I LOVE in such a short time...but then having things like this happen when we are getting ready to go just seem to make it that much worse.

Anyway - things are looking better now - we had a garage sale which was a huge success. We got the house ready for posting and so we are living in a normal living environment again. Now I just have to pack up the rest of the house before Saturday... no big deal right?
I just have to keep reminding myself that it is all going to be worth it and I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.

  1. If it makes you feel better, I have been dealing with ginormous amounts of stress, and I had an accident with a safety arm (you know the ones in the parking lots that drop down to keep you in the parking lot. It was not a pretty sight.

    Hang in there!
