life seems so hard. Like right now. We've got some things going on, that I just want to be done with and these irritating roadblocks keep getting in the way. uggghh.
And, because I am a very positive person, I NEVER want to be the victim, always a survivor, I hate to give in and say this SUCKS, but right now, certain things do just that, SUCK!!
For instance.....we need to have our warehouse cleaned out by Friday. Today a friend was supposed to help us out to move some stuff and he went AWOL. Sweet, some BS excuse about his phone???? PUUULLLEASE. i'm over it. Then the auction house we sell with calls and says that they can't come till SEPT 1ST to pick up our items..........one day after this months auction. So now tomorrow Jeno and AWOL have to load up this 499 pound cabinet among other things and bring them over to the auction house. fun....and then we have to pack the rest of the stuff in the warehouse and set up here at our home in our 2 car garage. Sweet. Oh, and it's hot out, let's not forget that.
but then I think of all the positives, and it's just really better for us in the end. One of us can always be with the kids, I can run or Jeno can come up and kiss the girls or change a diaper, I can organize it so that it's seemless, one less rent, one less utility bill, more buying opportunities, etc etc. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank God for that. And then, it does not seem so bad.
Speaking of bad, I heard that Eat Pray movie is a total let down which stinks because I read and loved the book. I will admit that when I heard Julia Roberts was playing the lead, I was like um, that's typical. I would have much rather seen someone else do it. No offense Julia!
and......the cutest thing EVER is watching our animal baby, Brooke walk like the stay-puff marshmallow man everywhere she can. Gee, she is so funny to watch. Healthy happy kids, what more can you ask for?
And we are all excited for Brenna to start kindergarten. She is so tall, she grew like 2 inches this summer and slim and so super pretty. She is begging me to take the bus, and our school has two fifth graders monitor the little ones at the front of the bus so maybe I will let her and just follow the bus to school? Maybe but for the first week, I want to walk her in and just make sure she's happy. I want her to love school and continue to love to learn. I see so much hope in her. I had the most F-up childhood, and I want hers to be sweet without worry and burdens. I pray every night I'm doing it right. Basically hearts and flowers until it's tainted by real grown up life bs. Can you blame me?
Later I'm going to be photographing some vintage costume jewelery for my new etsy shop. I have some really fun stuff besides the jewelery to add to like vintage postcards, banners, cards, and some artwork.
I'll make sure to like it up here so you can check it out!
Hope you have a great day and I haven't gotten you depressed!
I promise next time it will be all hearts and flowers - wink!
