I'm finally in my new house and
I'll have to be honest to tell you all...my faithful
bloggy friends that
I've been a bit shocked by the emotions
I've been feeling. (actually more than a bit...a lot shocked to be honest!) with the excitement of buying a house,
redecorating, moving, and buying things i NEVER gave any
consideration to the fact that i might actually be emotionally connected to my home...with over 30 years of comforts and safeness there and all. and don't forget that I had my mom there everyday of my life and more recently my niece and nephew everyday when they come to daycare. for some people that may sound like hell to say they see their mom every day, but for me it's comfort and peace (most of the time...unless we're both in the kitchen together:))
I'm a pretty level headed and emotionally steady person. i don't have break downs and i don't cry often. so this is why i was shocked to be in tears most of the day on
Monday.
i keep telling myself ...all of my friends have moved out and are on their own so i know people can do it.
I've talked to many of my close friends on the phone yesterday and today to ask if my feelings were "normal" or not. i think the consensus is that it will get better. another issue...i still have no cable
TV or
Internet. (i brought my computer to mom's tonight for some sense of normalcy) so my house is really quiet...again to most people this would be a blessing, but it's just strange to me right now.
on to the house. needless to say, with my emotional breakdown
I've been unable to think about taking pictures to post, but i will! the move went really smoothly thanks to all of my family...THANK YOU Mom, Eddie, Judy, Denise, Jeff, and both of my
grandmothers who helped so much. Eddie and Jeff did all of my heavy lifting, my aunt Judy has furnished and/or decorated half my house from her basement or yard sales and did so much work in my yard. And, my cousin Denise put my beds together, brought her tools, and pressure washed my driveway and porch...oh and trimmed my tree!:))
I've had workmen in my house all day today repairing the a/c, delivering my appliances, and hanging all my light fixtures. Everything looks just as cute as I thought it would. All the furniture looks great and fits perfectly into each room. I'm sure with time I will adjust emotionally. For now I'm continuing with clean up and repairs and looking forward to a
housewarming party on Sunday!
