I have a new house - and it is all me. I didn't move into it because it was my only option, or because I was in a hurry, or because I was being rescued or "taken care of".
I actually chose it! I day dreamed about it, drove by it every chance I got, moved all the furniture around in my head, redid the blinds in my imagination and thought of nothing else until FINALLY - I got the call that it was mine.
I moved in this last weekend.
That's when I discovered how many things I left behind in the marriage dissolution...things that have been provided for me over the past year but are not mine to take to a new house. Things that are integral to running a household that feels like home to three children!
I needed a washerdryerqueenbeddresserdesktwotwinmattressesdiningroomtableandchairs, and I needed them right away. So - I did what any single mom would do - I stalked Craigslist.
Oh my heavens! I have found the neatest things on Craigslist for the greatest prices...I don't think I will ever shop at a furniture store again.
What I DIDN'T think about was how to move all of these said bargains. Those are some heavy items and some were located quite far away!
So - I did what any single mom would do -
I called my ex husband for help.
...and he came running.
I am a very blessed single mom. Blessed and well housed.
Wanna come over for a house warming party??!

waiting.
Stop taking so damn long.
I want you to know that I was late to work yesterday morning...I found your hiding spots!
I keep thinking how alike we are...except that you're an outgoing, perky, adorable sexpot! ;)
I miss you. Often.
