Overall, I'm not feeling that great. Sunday night we watched "Talladega Nights" (don't judge me). Anyway, it's set in NC and seeing the scenery etc. just made me really homesick - for the geography, for my mom, for a lot of things. I sat up till nearly midnight, just kinda crying. It's a shame because the night was frog free and I could've gotten a great night's sleep.

Anyway, I felt like poop Monday and called in sick. I spent the morning sitting by the pool reading "Harriet the Spy" (why yes, it IS a children's book). My mom will likely end up needing gall bladder surgery - the logical thing is for hub to go up & be with her since he isn't working. He could paint the inside of her house while he's there as well. We'll see.

We have the guest room set up and largely finished putting stuff away in our bedroom & hanging pictures, so it's really starting to look like our house. We did A LOT over the weekend - my back was killing me!

One thing I didn't like about the old house was that the kitchen sink faced a wall, and the windows in the kitchen had an exciting view of my clothes line and the side of the neighbor's house. My kitchen sink looks out over the pool, which makes kitchen work a lot more bearable, except it makes me want to be outisde!!!

There are good things and I do appreciate them, it's just that I've been trying to stay positive in the face of hub abd the boy's ... lack of enthusiasm for the move, and I'm just wrung out. I swear, if you drop a bomb in front of me my reaction would be to say "well, huh."

Anyway, things are getting back to the new normal, whatever that turns out to be.
