all moved in - nothing is working right, started with the water being off, then the phone and cable don't work and the breakers trip for every thing plugged in to an outlet.... Not enough storage in any of the rooms and I miss my old house!!! I hate that I had to move. I spent all day cleaning yesterday after spending all month cleaning so I wouldn't have to. The guy who was supposed to dye the bleach spots in the carpet didn't show up so we winged it and I think I'll be replacing carpet out of my deposit. He also did a crappy job cleaning it and didn't even get one area at all but I couldn't tell til he was long gone with my cash because the carpet was wet and I couldn't walk on it. Oldest daughter was giving me sheer hell all weekend and trying to get away with anything and everything while my back was turned. She bit my boyfriend in the back and left teeth imprints, she had a boy over all day yesterday while she was supposed to be watching her brother and sister and they were "making out" all day according to her sister. When I got home I asked her to load the dishwasher and she screamed at me and I wanted to beat her until she didn't get up again. I start my second job again next weekend and I have to leave the other two with her every weekend night and that scares the crap out of me plus gives her power over me that I don't like her having. The family counseling is not working as well as I would like...
On the plus side three of my good friends came and helped me clean and paint yesterday and they all also helped with the move along with a few of daughter's "boy" friends. The truck was there and ready to go. The pool at the new place is really nice. I'm really trying to think positively... My boyfriend is coming over when he gets off work today and is unpacking my stuff and putting it up and I have calls in to the property management company and the phone/cable company to fix those problems which I'm hoping will be resolved when I get home... I will be glad when everything is settled and I can get back to trying to get my kids right!
Thanks for listening to my rant, I cried several times yesterday. Today is a new day, I'm hoping it gets better from here.
Give it a few days. Things will start to fall into place. Just remember how excited you were a while back about finding this new place!!! Hang in there. Sincerely, QOD
This Too Will Pass... I know it seems like an eternity, and I find myself having days like that as well, and it usualy has to do with me being so wrapped up in all my "Currant Drama" that I forget about my Program, my Steps, and My Serenity all together...
You will get were you need to be, just try and stay in your currant moment only... One Day has been Way to far out for me lately, so I stay within the moment, that works better for Me!
It was wonderful that you have friends come and pitch in, sit down and send each of them a nice "Thank You" note, and start putting your mood, in a differant direction... I know everytime I recieve a "Thank You" my heart turns Grateful... So turn ugliness into something great...
You hang in there... You have come alone way, Progress Not Profection, is all that can be ask of you for now... And that is OK...Let Go & Let God... You got this girl...
Take what you like and leave the rest... Love & Prayers Jozie
Moving can be so crap, and its bloody awful when nothing works like its supposed to, it will pass, hang in there, you're doing a lot better than you think,
What a difficult time. I don't like to move either. Your posts have reminded me that I really need to do a lot of clearing out and getting my storage unit together. My moves are generally chaotic.
