So that clock keeps on ticking, but all is good.
Kids are registered for their new schools and are very excited. I've been google searching the area with the kids and looking at places we will get to explore together and making a list :) can't wait!!
As for the packing.....I am about 80% done - all that is left is Jackson's room, bathrooms and the everyday stuff we need - I don't think I have been this prepared for moving. Course I have always been employed full-time and the kids activities to get in the way of packing and organizing.
I have donated a lot of toys, old sports equipment, patio set, bar-b-que, dressers, table, lamps etc. All to those in need. Course this means I will be replacing these items when we get moved, but its time I updated the kids furniture.
I was just talking to Corey the other night about how productive I am being and he jokingly called me a hoarder cuz ALL of the stuff I am packing and moving is mine - he packs light lol and thats ok by me. At least I get the last say in what gets purchased then lol - ladies I tell you it sure reduces fights!!!
I cannot believe that I have been in this relationship for 21 months and not a single fight - it amazes me that we communicate so well and that there are no barriers around us. Its like we have known each other our whole lives. And without him supporting me emotionally in this new adventure there is no way I would have had the courage to do so. I am so thankful that not only does he support me but as does my family and friends. It means a lot and makes this move that much easier.
I have faced adversity in life - who hasn't right? I married my friend, at far too young an age and can be lucky enough to say that I divorced my friend 13 years later and we remained friends - not an easy task. I have two beautiful children that are not perfect but are perfect for me and those that love them. I have a wonderful significant other in my life that I cherish. I have fantastic friends and family that know how to make me smile and laugh at my jokes - although I have been told that if law school doesn't work out that there is no doubt I could do stand up lol sure right after you put me in a room to myself - no way - hate public speaking.
Some days are harder than others - today is a good day - today I am looking forward to living where you don't hear sirens a dozen times a day or the non stop traffic that you do in a large city. I am looking forward to the beautiful weather and surroundings that we get to explore. I am not looking forward to living in a town with no Tim Hortons lol and that will never change ;)
I am so looking forward to Black Friday this year and the 2 hour ferry ride that will leave my bank account in tears and my credit card melted I am sure lol I do love to shop, not for me, but for others - always have and always will.
So back to the packing and the moving. I cannot believe that I have been officially unemployed for the past 6 and a half months - where has that time gone? It was great being off over Christmas but January to April just about killed me. But now we are back into the outdoor sports and the packing and the planning and the arranging and I am feeling useful again :) I am by far not a lazy person and after I am settled on the Island and I see how the school routine goes I might look at either a part time job or volunteering for a crisis line or something. What the point of having all the course and diploma that I have and not use it at all?? None and I like to stay busy. And I will not be financially dependent on someone else. Not Corey, not my child support, but on my own finances and student funding. If you want something and you want to OWN it, I believe you need to do it on your OWN. Its quite simple really. Drives other people in my life crazy :)
And once we are moved we already have a couple of planned visits from friends and exploring with them will be fun as well.
So today is a good day and very much looking forward to moving and starting school.
I am hoping they are all good days from here on in :)
Later Gators :)
