Today is the day that Tom arrives, FINALLY. This has been the longest week of my life. I've missed blogging too. Perhaps if I had thought of it earlier, it would have alleviated my stress to journal about this move.
Tomorrow morning we get the Ryder truck at 9 a.m. and start packing my necessities into it for the trip to Danielle's in Rochester. FINALLY.
As soon as Tom and the girls and I find a place to live we can come back and get all the rest of my stuff and move it up there too. I can't wait. Really. Living at this level of chaos does nothing for me. Nothing pleasant, anyway.
I'm so anxious to get out of here and get started. Not too much to do, really. Just get the girls into school, find a place to live and start working. I'm not worried about the job stuff too much yet. I'll work for Danielle and I'm sure I can get a coaching job and that should tide me over until I can find a writing/newspaper job, which is what I really want.
I don't really care what i do, as long as I can have a family to come home to every night.
David has been a bit of a pain, what with wanting to visit the kids every week all of a sudden. Me driving 4 hours one way once a week is not going to happen and thankfully the caseworker agrees that I deserve to spend every other weekend with my kids too. It's only fair. If he wants to come up there and visit them twice a month on the off weeks, that's his perogative though.
Anyway, I still have 3.5 hours until Tom gets here and 1 hour before I can leave work. It's killing me. This has been the longest day ever, I swear.
I just want to curl up in bed next to Tom, get through the night and get out of here tomorrow! The kids will be visiting David in the morning, so that should allow us to get all the crap out of there and into the truck hopefully and then we'll be on our way.
Next weekend I'll be back to give stuff to Interfaith Mission and clean up a bunch. I'm not particularly looking forward to THAT, but if I can get stuff to Goodwill and the dump, that will be a huge accomplisment. The house goes on the market Nov. 15, so I have to get it in shape before that. Tom is going to finish the siding and paint the office, which are the major things that need to be done.
OK, enough blathering. I guess I should try to do a bit more work before I flee.
