... Chris being in a plane as I'm typing (going to Corsica -for work- this morning, and flying back from it tonight, CRAZY) So I always worry.... realizing that the move will happen in 6 months (maybe 5 or maybe 7) What are six months ?! These are going to go by so quickly, I'm starting to freak out.
... thinking about the next appartment ... how will it be ? how big will it be ? how old/recent will it be ? there will be things to fix ? how much will it cost ? where exactly will it be ? will we have a lot of choice between several appartments ? Too many questions, I know, and too soon to think about it, but the time will come so soon.
... thinking about the boys who'll have to leave their school & friends behind. And my friends too. A lot saddening.
... wishing I already had boxes to start packing things we won't use till we'll have moved (books or stuff like that). But I don't, so I can't.
...thinking that I know everything will be alright, but it's still stressing me out a whole lot.
Not had the best of night. Went to bed at 01am, got woken up by U at 02.30 & 03.30, woken up by Chris' alarm clock at 05.45, then by mine at 07.05. But I was so tired that evrytime I went back to sleep ... till P came to me at 07.55am !!! Eeeeek ! Then they had breakfast quickly, got prepared & went to school, and I went to shop for food, and here I am now, I just had breakfast & have lots of things to do today. Chris will be home around 09.30pm tonight.
And it's rainy cats & dogs & is very blustery outside. What a day.
Have a great week everyone ! xoxox
Note : I'm a SAHM, and Chris, once we'll have moved, will work most of the time from/at home, so we have to find something nice enough. Not luxury, but something good. We won't sleep only in our appartment, we'll live all day and night long in it. I thought I had to add this.
Aww I can hear the worry in your words Sonia. The unknown is scary, but once you know more and start packing you'll be in auto pilot and feel so busy. It sounds like a wonderful adventure. Antonia and I have moved 15 times in her little life, she has friends all over the country, which she thinks is really cool.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, hope its not too long a day for youXX
I've also had no sleep, Harris has been throwing up since yesterday :o(
I hope you get to have a few moments for yourself today - just to rest and relax yourself. Isn't it sill, the way we get caught up in the what ifs, when really we have no way of knowing. And the stress doesn't change the outcome.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself. Things will happen as they happen (say I who is going through similar house-moving stress and dreams and hopes...).
Oh Sonia! Don´t worry. I know a move can stress anyone because there are many things to do and you leave many things behind. But think about all new things you will find and new people you will meet. And you have us here in your blog and in your flickr (I know it´s not too much but you have a scape via to talk to us). And the fact that Chris will work most of the time at home is something good that will help you to integrate easily. (Pompitas)
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia, No matter where you go, you'll make it home, because your hearts will be there. I'll send peaceful thoughts your way = }
ReplyDeleteHey Sonia. I might be around. A lot closer any ways. I might even have a car then. I can come and help decorate. I can come and help with the move. And of course I will come and help eat your muffins too!
ReplyDeleteI understand you worry though. Moving is always packed with worry and concerns. I will keep my fingers crossed with you these coming months, and wish you will get exactly what you are wishing for.
Sending love!
gosh, you have moved several times in the time I have known you Sonia. I can imagine your apprehension.
ReplyDeleteYour mad eyes post had me in stitches! What a great idea to stick eyes all over the place like that!
It was rainy C&D here this morning too. It stopped around 9.30 and has been dry/cloud/sunny/grey since, but I'm sure there is more on the way.
Sorry you had such a bad night. I hope you can sleep better tonigh. Have a lovely afternoon.
xx
Your new home will again be another adventure, another experience. In the meantime enjoy the present moment. Breathe deeply and the anxiety will go away!
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia! I always worry when loved ones are on trips, too. Good when they're safely home. The googlie eye photos were fun! I like the daffodil best. :) You have moved a lot and I hope this next one will be more permanent. Where are you moving to? Hope it's nearer to your family. Enjoy the week ahead! (((Hugz)))
ReplyDeleteSonia, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you contemplate your move. I hope it turns out to be a great blessing for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteCiao Sonia, I know a move can be very stressful and leaving your new friends is quite sad, but I'm sure you are gonna love having hubby at home so much! :D Big hugs sweetie! :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Sonia, I can so understand how your thoughts are all over the place, especially with Chris travelling! But knowing you, I am certain that everything will work out in the end, you are after all the expert organiser! And I also know that with the amount of creativity that you posses, my sweet, you will make the new place look absolutely smashing! :-) Sending happy thoughts your way, and I hope Chris made it back allright too!
ReplyDeleteMuch love and care,
Susanne xxxx
Hi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI am an American,who used to live in Chessy!
I've been reading your blog for awhile now and always like to stop by to 'catch up' on news from there.
I wish you luck on your move.We too will almost certainly be moving in the summertime and I am stressing about it(2 kids to think about as well).
I will be getting my own space for my craft-work though so am looking forward to that part!Try and stay positive!
Andrea
Aw, sweet friend... It's always the unknown that gets us, isn't it? I wish I could lift your worries for you. Changes like this are hard but I have no doubt that you and your precious family will find the good in it. Wishing you the best.
ReplyDeleteOh Sonia! I hate moving too! Sometimes it's exciting but the thought of all the packing, unpacking, getting the new home all cozy and just the way you like, settling into new routines is a little overwhelming. But don't worry! You may like your new home even better! At least your boys go to school... Claire wouldn't leave Sota alone when he worked from home :oP Big Hugs! Think of all the fun decorating you will get to do in your new home... That's my favourite part :o)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs, Laurraine
Oh I hear you Sonia. I've had a lifetime of moving and it gets tougher when it's no longer just the two of you, but children as well. Sending happy thoughts!
ReplyDeleteSonia,
ReplyDeleteI read this right after you posted it, but wanted to return with more time... you deserved that. This week has gotten sooo busy for me. So, although I don't have a lot of time, I will send you a lot of love... I mean A LOT! I have moved so many times in my life, but it is so different with children. Wish I could come have tea/coffee with you and help you prepare. Fresh starts can be so good for everyone... I will send you happy thoughts!
