Well, the process of moving sucks. My mother, sisters + their families and me have been trying to clear crap out of this house for the past couple months. Over 30 years of bills and misc. documents, clothes, lost toys, trophies, etc. I’ve never had to do this moving thing before…not that I’m a spoiled brat that’s been living with her parents all her life. I’ve given my share into this house. Even before my father passed away, I was giving money towards the mortgage and buying groceries here and there. I’ve never expected to mooch off my parents. I take pride in paying my dues. Having the ability to do so. But with the market the way it is and with my mother retired and looking for something new…it irritates me that I can’t do anything more to help out financially. Wow, my thoughts just took a detour!

Back on track now. So we’ve been trying to get crap out of the house, donating some along the way. Even Duo has been there for us and lent a helping hand with things as he’s been able. It’s definitely NOT a one person project and it’s far from being complete! So much for our completion date…you don’t even want to know what it was. Seriously.

So this move is stressing my mother and me out, as well as her search for a new career. AND, we just went over to Pennsylvania this past weekend for one of my sister’s last minute wedding. This was a drama packed weekend as my mom ended up falling down a flight of 16 stairs in my sister’s old Victorian house and going to the ER. We were all surprised that she walked away with just the bruising, busted lip and dislocated shoulder. She made it to the wedding the next day though. I could get into the annoyance factor of the trip….but that’s a rant that could go on and on and on. Let’s just say I had to snap just a little bit at the bride and groom….but wanted to do much more than that. It’s amazing to me that they think they have the right to judge my life and what I choose then to take a look at theirs. Marriage should be based on love and respect before convenience!

Let’s hope this weekend is less drama. Got a baby shower to throw on Sunday for another sister. But given which sister it is….I may need a straight jacket by Sunday night!
