Standing Still

Posted on 18 August 2010

In the next 3 weeks we have many glorious things about to happen. I am so excited about the changes we are making. However waiting is about to kill me. Patience is something I lack and my nerves and worry sometimes take my breath away.

To start off we are moving.  We have a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. This a big thing. We have been living in a 2 bedroom townhouse for many years. Actually since Allie was 2. She is now 9. So to be able to stretch our feet and stand tall is going to marvelous. To have space is going to be a blessing. The house is not settled on till September 8th. So I am hoping that all is going to go smoothly with this process and have no setbacks. At this moment I am trying to pack but I just sit. Once the house is transferred our plan is to get it fixed up and move in at a decent pace because our lease is up in December. We will see how that goes. It has my head going in circles though.

Now with this house we are changing counties. This means the children are changing schools. This also has me a nervous wreck. I have never written about this but it has taken me a LONG time to become comfortable with changing counties.  The school they will be attending has had high compliments. I have not heard anything too negative so it has me somewhat ok (believe me I have done a lot of asking and research). But I want to know the routine, where everything is, how they work. I was late getting the  kids registered because the whole house thing was coming together late in the summer too. To top that off Madison is starting kindergarten in a new school. My baby is starting school.  Now I know that it will be ok in the end. It is just getting through the beginning that makes me fret. And like some I am assuming when my mind has time to wander I think of all this things I need not too and then my head goes in circles again. The kids are super-excited so that is very encouraging. Surprisingly my shy little Madison is so excited to begin school and Allie with her free spirit can not be any happier to be in a new school. I am praying that the school with be as good and their experience will be best it can be!

Tonight we will go and meet the teachers and be able to walk around the inside of the school to check it out. I think this will be very good for me. We shall see

Needless to say with this wonderful stuff coming up I feel as though I am standing still and waiting for it to happen as the world continues to move and while I wait I tend to worry about how it is going to go. So I have to  remember to stop and take a breath and know that it will all be good!
