oh, the nerves

So, today we meet with the realtor. I was suppose to meet her last week. But I got the jitters, overreacted, threw the world on my self, and ran out of the house screaming. I ran to a series of fabric stores! Ooh, fabric. (drool)
So, Jeremy isn't let me overwhelm myself. And, if I flip out, he'll be here to continue after I run out screaming.
I don't know why selling the house is weirding me out. I don't like the house, and I've wanted to sell it since shortly after we bought it. But it is 1 of only 2 things that are freaking me out about the move. I'm good with packing, selling and giving, change in J's career, change in lifestyle, picking out new houses, renting trucks, living in a new town, even (wait for it) meeting new people. But selling the house seems to suck the air right out of me.
So wish us luck. Pray for slow moving feet for me.

We leave this weekend to go up to the new town. We'll see friends, see lots of business people, see 2 schools for Jeremy and Anora's new school. We planned our "to-do" list for our visit, it's daunting.

We were going to stay at our friends' house, but after looking at our to do list, I'll be ready to hide in a hotel room under the covers. Stressed company isn't good company. 

Well, that is where we are at right now.

class performance




So, today was Anora's class performance. They did a few songs, and then a dance. I hope you enjoy. We made bracelets and decorated cookies after. It was wonderful. And the best part is each kid had "someone" there.

Anxiety is revealed

So, today is the day I believe I can reveal the cause of my anxiety. 

Plans are underway in the house. Come August Jeremy will be going to Seminary. Great news.

That means us moving to MN. So we're preparing the house to sell,taking care of responsibilities here, and purging our belongings. We don't want to leave any of our friends or loved one, but we are really looking forward to the change. I'll be going back to work, but I'm hoping to do something crafty.

So there is our big secret. God Bless.

The battle has raged all day. It has at last ended with defeat for me.
My sink is full, the plumbing is clogged. 
My dishes are now clean, but not with out a lot work by my feet. 
As the washer would drain I would bail out the sink. 
To the tub I ran, pail in hand. 
The water rose, my temper did too.
At least plungering is good ab work, you know.
The water will sit now till reinforcements arrive. 
Jeremy will get home, he’ll show the pipes who’s boss of this hive.
The realtor comes Friday, 
I pray, I don’t need a pipe surgeon on Thursday.
