Long Over Due Update
Sorry my friends that i have not been keeping my LJ up todate but I've not had an easy time of it lately. And just so you understand/know what I mean...Sanity and I use to talk every day no matter what before the move. Now we are luckily if we talk twice a week. I really thought moving would be easy, guess this comes from moving so much with my natural mother as a kid. I quess because I didn't have to deal with all the little details. Now we have been in the new apartment since 9-18 and fianlly have the kitchen, hall closet, linen closet, front room, dining room, our bedroom done as much as we can. If only we can finish up the kids rooms and find a place to put the boxes of boxes (that we need a bookcase for) up things will really feel like home. I have to say living in a brand new place makes me clean more than I was in the old house. I'm finding that I can't stand for things to be out of place. I know this apartment has more living space but it seems smaller. I love that I don't have to go out to the garage to do laundry, it's right off the kitchen and everytime I'm in the kitchen I do a load so staying on top of it has been some what easy. I'm not smoking in the apartment so now all of the blankets, towels and such need to be washed since you can tell that I smoked in the house. Things smell so much better. I've also cut back on smoking at first here then it picked up a bit, but I'm cutting back again. It's cold here!! And for me to say it cold you have to believe it cold. Hoping that since I have to REALLY want a smoke before going outside I can quit soon. We will see, not making promises but I'm trying. If you have read Ray's LJ then you know some of the problems that we have faced here in the apartment. I have to say that new bed is very comfy, concidering it's been 22 years I have slept on a waterbed. Now if I can just get back on my sleep sch. I think I will feel much better. Due to not being on it and not use to Ray being home during the week has taken a toll on me that I was not excepting.
So due to all that, I had to do something that was very hard for me to do, but at the same time something I had to do. I have completely stepped down from the LEF council. I'm hoping that when I and the family get on a good sch. and I feel better that I can come back. But I will still be around the MB and doing things. So don't feel sorry for me, life just hands all of us curves now and then and this was one of mine. I will make it thru this. Today is the first time since the computer has been hooked up that I have online more than one hour and not fallen asleep at the keyboard, so I'm thinking that it's a start on a new sch. I've enjoyed catching up on reading my friends LJ's even though I didn't comment I did read them. Now it's time to wake the kids and get them going for school and I'm off to play a bit in Neopets or at least try to.
Thanks to all my friends for your support, engery and love during these times.
Hugs and love to all of you and May you always feel the warmth of the flames!
