Taking a break before I split my head open

I had to sit down for a moment and write. I felt myself starting to breath heavy and doing eighty million things at once and decided it was time to....take a break. I am currently sitting here looking at a living room filled with open and closed boxes, a coffee table filled with odds and ends, an ironing bored leaning up against the only wall that is empty, and Will's toys spread all over the floor. UUUUgggghhh. I try to be organized. I really, really do. Why didn't I get that gene from my Mother??!! I start on one project and then my mind goes to something else. For instance I came home from the grocery store this morning and decided that I was going to go through all of my laundry and get rid of everything I don't need. I started to go through my clothes and thought that maybe I should go ahead and puree' some food before Will woke up. So, I started pureeing and before I knew it I had five different things I was trying to accomplish. Then I just decided to give up and sit down before I have a melt down. There is just way too many things going on in life right now and it just doesn't seem like things ever slow down. I'd love to just have an hour to myself....no one around, a book and a hammock...that's all I ask. hahah!

Dan and I are headed to Maine on Monday. We'll be leaving our new place filled with boxes and headed home. I'm thrilled to see my family. It's been too long since I've hugged my Daddy Bear. I miss my mother and sister terribly but I see them more often when they come down to SC for mini vacations. I'm sure I'll have endless stories from the trip and look forward to posting some pics.

Until then.....I'm headed back to the laundry.....boooh.

Sara's trip to G'Vegas

I didn't even mention Sara's trip to Greenville in my last blog! We had a blast...it was wonderful to have her here. It was just like old times, wasn't it Sawa Sue?!?!


Moving......AGAIN!!

Golly Miss Molly!

It feels like Dan and I have spent half of our marriage moving all over the state of SC. When I moved to SC I was in love and the only thing I knew was that I needed to be close to Dan. When we decided to get married and the ring was put on my finger I realized I really needed to be close to the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I wanted to be sure that I knew that I knew that I knew that I knew...you get my drift. I decided to pack up all of my belongings, well everything that would fit into my VW Beetle, and move down South to be near my man. I took a bundle of things to Goodwill that year (sigh*). My sister came along with me for support and we headed to SC on a full tank of gas and a prayer. Oh and by the way...my stereo didn't work and I was too poor at the time to go get it fixed. There was A LOT of singing and retardedness going on in the car...you can imagine.

Anyway since then Dan and I have made three more moves. You could say we are unstable. You could say we like variety. But I would say, we are just one of those couples that doesn't have a strong tie to one particular place. Now that we have a son we are starting to get a little more serious about a place to live....but right now it's just fun to try something on for size and then toss it when it gets old.

We are moving out of our cute little apartment next Saturday. I have loved living here. We had just enough room, we had a great pool, a work out facility, agggh. Anyway, since our little man has come into our lives that apartment is definitely cramped. Will has more toys and gadgets that an army of babies. So it's time. Time to part from our old single life. We are moving into a four bedroom house over near Cherrydale. It's kind of in the ghetto...but that's okay. We have LOTS of room, and a backyard, and a nice kitchen...I love it. We signed a two year lease at which time we will decide if we want to BUY the house or not. DUM DUM DUM...scary to even think about it. We both want to keep our options open. I just don't know where we will be in two years, ya know??

Anyway, it's been a crazy month. This Saturday will be the last show for "Crimes of the Heart". wow. It's been an amazing couple of weeks and I've loved the cast! It's been a dream to be back on stage again.

Dan, Will, and I will be headed to Maine July 1-10th. I'm thrilled to be going home for July 4th, visiting with my Grampy Rockwell who has just moved into a nursing home, and going to my 10 year high school reunion. When we get back I'll be unpacking boxes and then Dan is off to Atlanta on a business trip. Please pray for us...I can already feel the stress creeping up behind me.

Much love to all my readers...even though you NEVER leave comments!!...It's all good though, I know you love me. =) smooooooooooooches xoxo
