The kids are in bed. Ava finally quit talking to me about possible scenarios in which I go to jail. Real tears were shed, despite my insistence that I will not be going to jail anytime soon. The whole thing just reminded me of when I was 5 and cried during Miracle on 34th Street when Santa went to jail.
Anyways, I'm not going to jail.
Dan left on Sunday for Dallas to start the new job. And from his report it was a good first day and he thinks he will like it. The commute was surprisingly better than expected.
One thing is for sure though, I am supposed to be wherever Dan is. And since Dan is not in Houston and I am, I am feeling unsettled. I cried so many times just in dreaded anticipation of this time, but so far things have been okay. I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Dan reminded me that he did this single parent thing not too long ago for 6 days while I went to my sisters house. That is true and it has given me hope that I can do it as well. I mean, I know we'll all be alive when this is over and hopefully I will not be in jail. But I am feeling a lot of stress right now, knowing that by the end of this week our life will be on a big truck headed out of town.
And once all the gory details are resolved Dan will fly back into town. It's the gory details that scare me.
And one more thing, I went crazy cleaning and taking pictures of our house since it went on the market last week. And I am feeling pretty frustrated that those pictures have yet to show up on the mls listing of our house.
We aren't really hoping to sell it ourselves but I hate the feeling that I did all of it for nothing. So here they are.
You wanna buy our house? We'll give you a great deal!

WoW! It looks beautiful! And sparkly clean. I remember feeling so stressed at moving week (and I had my husband to help me) I called on friends who were more level headed and they just told me what to do. So call a good friend and beg for Mercy. I am sure you will get through this week! Thinking of you! Miss you and good Luck!!!
I would totally buy your house - except you've told me how hot it is there. Oh well. Beautiful home!
Exciting new job start for Dan. Will you be dealing with the movers and all that by yourself? I don't blame you for being stressed. Praying that all will go smoothly.
What brought on Ava's fear of you being carted off to jail? Did she see something on tv? Admit it though...a little privacy/alone time, someone bringing you meals, etc. Jail might not be half bad.
I know a good lawyer if you get sent to jail...
Your SIL has a point there about that jail thing...might have to rethink that option...I remember taking pictures of our house to put on the market-we just moved the piles from one room to another as we took pictures:) It looks great! Call me again when you have a minute!
Your house is so lovely! You have done a great great job. The pictures, the cleaning, the decorations. Good luck with the sale. I'm so sorry to hear you are playing solo! I've been there and it's not fun. If you dare you can always come and visit FOR THE WHOLE WEEK while Dan is out. We could cry togheter live most of our days in Sea World. I bet by the time we come back home the kids will go to bed and instead of going to jail we could relax:)
Thinking of you xoxo
