So proud of my son!
Permalink  

I was so pleased with my guy! His friend too. He never got mad or upset. Even as they had to put all that fencing in the van and in the uhaul. AND I dug up my 20 foot high bundle of bamboo, they got it in  too.

I did way too much. I cannot stop when others are working. I did a dumb thing and got stuck on my bum. son helped me but I hurt my bad leg...

Anyway They got my very heavy pots too! I wanted my wash tub by the mail box so we can see where to turn into my driveway. He carried it up there!

I had to keep myself from crying. So much help. I have always done it ALL myself or with the kids. I got the cabin all set up. Will get pics up soon. Its so nice you guys. I felt so serene, thankful.

I sold my p up. I don't want any reminders of ex AH around me. This is all my memories now. Every time I go up there, I feel so relieved. NO mud or dust. Just sweet smelling woods.

I found out my dumb little care gets 35 to 38 mpg on Hwy! I knew it was good but...has a very high rating. Soooo decided to keep it and fix it up.

Gotta get spiked tires. studded I mean.

Just feels good letting go of this huge weight on me.Sure taking me a long time to heal.

I just could not get the fence up. way too tired. Had to take pain med last night. was so bad. but I did it.. so am still in the house. I can't take the dogs up with out a fence up. I have to recuperate anyway. Thank goodness I have stuff I am not taking. even have a bed here.

I do believe it helps to find the funny in stuff. Life is like that. Feels good to be happy. Its neat to be in pain here but I know it will be ok. PLUS it means I can just lay around and rest and heal.

except the dogs got out again and took off. I am so well told you, here I am drove my car down the road, am yelling for the dogs. Happy, fezzik, pop pop, and tavish. the two big ones will come back when they do. got them all back. BUT there I was in my pink big t shirt night gown with little garden tools on it, my marroon hooded s  shirt, and OH my so dainty, reused wool Simple slippers....nope had not combed my hair or nuthing.

I sorta look at things like it is a sitcom. It may be a difficult situation, but when I look at it this way, it all cracks me up. I have fallin in the mud, slipped in cat poo and ice broke my rib, was trampled by a horse cuz I was out trying to get this ginger cat in his pasture. stuck up on my horse in the am......

My life is a sitcom.(c: so I have to do some more and will take my mongrels and me home. I am going to double fence....

love,deb

What is inspiring is that you are finding joy now where you thought there wouldn't be any anymore. You are living life on life's terms.

It is good your son is helping out. Kids need to learn a work ethic, not to mention helping their parents.... Not enough of that nowadays.

Your life does sound like a sitcom.  Makes mine look boring in comparison, and I have 3 kids!   Your new place sounds tranquil and beautiful. I'm excited to see pictures. I know what you mean about starting over and making your own memories. Sometimes I feel stunted, and as if I will never really heal as long as I am in this house.  But,  at the same time, I feel certain this is where I am supposed to be right now, so I just carry on.   It really is amazing how plans come together when we work as a partner with HP, and don't take the lead. I imagine it was much more difficult for you to ask your son for help, than it was for him and his friend to do so.  It's nice you are letting others love you. You so deserve it!

Lou
