School has started again. It really is not that bad, but I am or rather was not ready. Still not there yet. We even started working with the kids and I have fairly good kids.
What makes me not ready yet is the house situation! Well, people came and looked at it. I knew from the beginning that they loved the house itself. We even made them quite aware of the things that needed to be fixed. It is a good house. We would be staying here, if we did not have mom’s house to move into-….rent free. With my future income being so little, I knew that I would have to be out from under a house payment.
Another snag in the situation is Steve quit smoking. Ask my kids-….his failure to smoke is like a person withdrawing from hard drugs. What makes him worse, is that he will not seek any type of medical assistance. So we have to deal with his temperament-…He is completely unaware of his change in personality.
I have a month probably to pack and move out of my home. Of course, I will pack. The only good thing is that I did get rid of quite a lot of things this summer. But I know when I actually start packing. There will be numerous more bags to throw.
Another problem-….We are planning to move to the chateaux. That means work to fix it up and money to spend. Well, we still have money, but not a tremendous amount. We could move into an apartment, but that would tie us up for several months. My problem is not that there are problems, but that the solutions are difficult to do. But truthfully, we are in better shape than we were during the last move. Just too old to put up with the headaches. (especially when one of us acts as if he has PMS!!!)
But I have to say I am thankful-…two great kids. I also am going to be able to go to New York in November with or without the BIG grouch.
