The boys had their last counseling session at CAPA today. Ty’s been going for over two years and Zach for a year-and-a-half. They both went in today to meet with Sarah for a half hour then she called Dolly and me into her office. She’d given the boys some gifts and had some for Dolly also. She also had a card for me from the staff at CAPA. I’ve been taking the kids there for the PACT meetings for over four years, now. Dolly grew up going there almost every Thursday night. The card was signed by all the staff and they said some wonderful things. I couldn’t help but cry. This is the hardest part of moving – for me, anyway. I think I mentioned that already in another post. When we attend the PACT meeting this Thursday, for the last time, I’m sure saying good-bye to everyone will be dreadful for me. Every time I think about it I get tears in my eyes; I can’t help it. It’s happening right now and it’s really hard to type when I can’t see the screen clearly. So let’s not talk about that for the time being.
I didn’t get any responses for my furniture today and I’m becoming really anxious about it now. I’ve got nine days before I leave and have to get rid of this stuff. Not only do I need the money, but I don’t have room to take it along. I’ve been praying but nothing is happening. I guess the Angels don’t know anyone who needs a desk or a dining room set either. I’m sure they’ll find someone and that it’ll be any day now. I’m keeping the faith – so to speak.
My back is feeling a little better but I still can’t stand completely straight. Healing sucks when it takes this long. I can sit, stand, and lie down; I just can’t maneuver once I’m in any of those positions, not without a lot of pain, anyway. My back will get better, it always does. This is just not the best time for it to be bothering me. I’m up and down the stairs constantly doing laundry and carrying the basket. It’s definitely no fun. Something’s gotta give, and soon – about my back and my furniture. I’m not going to dwell on either right now, though; I’m going to head off to bed and pray I get a lot of positive responses to my ads tomorrow. I know you’ll be sending positive vibes my way, too. Thanks, in advance.
Until next time…peace to all.

Beth,
ReplyDeleteI know how tough it is to move. You've known me long enough to know how many times we've moved. Four damn times in one year. It's so hard to move after you've lived in an area for a while. Even if you aren't living in the greatest place you do form relationships with people, good ones, and it's hard when you leave those folks. When I read your post about the card and saying goodbye it even made me cry. Because I've been there.
I'm so glad that you are going to a place where you are closer to Paul, for the kids, and with Ellen. You two are going to be on fire with your freelance business, I'm so excited for you! I plan on preparing a HUGE tax return for you in the near future! :)
Tracy,
ReplyDeleteI've moved so many times in my life that I don't know how many more times I can do it. I'm hoping that, after this move to Ellen's, I'll move twice more: once to our own place and once into our BIG house. When we get our BIG house, the one I keep promising the kids we'll have, I'm done moving. The kids will be stable and I can sit back and relax.
Ellen,
Did you see that Tracy is ready to prepare that HUGE tax return for us. Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's get to it!!! :)
