Toppins a Bag ...
My daughter loves Mary Poppins!! If you know of anyone that would love to give us tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway PLEASE let us KNOW!!
The other day was WONDERFUL!! Hubby went off to work. I made dinner for me and tyke. She didn't want her crust on her bread. During dinner I was thinking to myself .. "tomorrow I'll have hubby take her outside and they can feed the birds with those ..
As she was wrapping up her dinner I thought ... HEY WAIT!! I CAN get OUTSIDE!! YEPPERS!! Such a WEIRD concept, but YES virginia!! There IS a way to get outside!! I can go out with my daughter and we can feed the birds .. TODAY ........ RIGHT NOW!!
I told daughter to get her boots and coat on and I've got a surprise for her .. we then went out and fed the birds. Sure, we were only out for like a few minutes .. but NEVER was I EVER able to get outside w/o hubby's help for the past 2 and a half years!! I was ALWAYS tethered to the house .. I have NEVER been able to take my daughter on an adventure outside the house by myself!
What a WONDERFUL feeling!! What a freeing feeling!!
Well that's all I have for the move for now. I'm sitting here waiting for calls to come and I'm trying to apply to other companies.
Where did the time ever go? I'll write more later.
As I tell my daughter, we're just two more sleeps before we move to our home. I should be the most excited of my whole life. I get to move into such a lovely home. It will be in one of the best school districts if I should choose to send my child to school. I will finally be able to be lady of the house as most home owners are.
It's a bitter sweet moment though. I feel kind of bad, because I've not really enjoyed the current house we live in. Sure, we've had our Halloween Parties for our daughter, we've had our annual Christmas Morning Brunch and we've opened our home to plenty of loved ones.
The BEST moments I will miss is the park. That is the whole reason we moved into this house. I don't know what we'll do without it. The park was my haven. I LOVED going there on a tired afternoon. You know the feeling, its a summer evening, you've had a huge day the sun was out hot and it's 6 o'clock in the evening. A bit too early to retire the little one off to bed. What is the BEST way to kill 20 to 30 minutes? THE PARK!! We could walk down 4 houses ON OUR side of the street and sit on the bench while we watch our prescious one run around with the other kiddies enjoying play equipment.
Or those "gosh its so hot" afternoon .. just slip on the swimsuit and then walk down the way then stick your feet in the wading pool while your little one think she's in the best place since sliced bread. It's only 1 foot deep and you don't have too much to worry about. The best part is you don't need to sit in the car all wet or get into an incredibly hot car to drive home. Just walk four houses back then your'e home.
I'm going to miss the park a whole lot.
What we are trading though is truly much more of a blessing then what we could imagine.
I'll be able to cook, go to the bathroom, not have to worry if my husband is around, because I can attack projects myself like clean or cook or laundry or my scrapbook. Homeschooling will be easier because I'll have full access to what we have in the home. If I want to go wrap a gift I won't need to wait for him to come home. If I need something for dinner and we don't have it at home, then I'll know it and can call him and say hey honey could you please pick up ..
I can make surprise dinners for my husband .. help my daughter make cookies and cakes .. she can have friends over without me worrying about can I handle it .. if I just WANT to go outside for a few minutes, we can ...
Moving is tough. I'm not looking forward to it. I'm NOT looking forward to unpacking. I'm not looking forward to getting to know the neighborhood. I've barely gotten to know this neighborhood we're in now. It's difficult trying to get to know a new neighborhood. I've heard there's not much in the way of "kids" around. There's no park.
There is a house DIRECTLY across the street I can only pray that a family of only one child .. a GIRL moves in across the street the same age as my daughter ..
Bittersweet. Greatful. Bittersweet
