The joy of packing...

okay well not entirely true...lol! It is hard work especially when you are the only one to pack it all. Yeah the men have to work the jobs so we can move so I have to pack all the stuff. The harder part, knowing that I have to get boxes at Wally World and it is raining harder and harder by the minute. It's like okay Lord is this a cute joke that you have with me? It rained the entire week when we moved into this house and then it starts raining the day I start packing. Thank goodness it is not going to rain when we actually move everything.
The kids are adjusting well to the idea of moving again. They are very happy as are the rest of us. I definitely hurt my back packing earlier but I have a job to do and that has never stopped me before. Pain is a way of endurance. I am a very stubborn person and I guess the Lord built me that way for a purpose. God is gracious and things look good right now. Thank the Lord for the Calm in the Storm! Have a great rest of the week whatever you do!

I feel like I am going to loose my head...

That's right you finally read what I am thinking about myself. Take a privileged seat and please have ears to hear...I know God is in control I really do i suppose that is why I feel as if I have no control whatsoever about what is going on. We have to move before Christmas so we are house hunting tomorrow. I had a most unpleasant run in with our *current* land lady yesterday. I informed her that we had no money to pay for rent in December that we needed all the money we have to move. (yay for me I told the truth) well, it got ugly. The deposit is not to be considered a payment for rent, but it also says in the lease that she holds the deposit until all debts are settled. Well there you have it...she already has my money. I am not paying this woman another dime! She orally promised me to have the windows fixed while we were living here. That is why we agreed to move in the home in the first place. They were not fixed, gang we are talking about holes in the glass broken windows, shattered windows and there are way more than a couple that are broken. We have put a double layer of thick plastic over most of the windows to try to keep the heat in the house. We were also told the stove top would be fixed, guess what it isn't. One knob on one burner and the other knobs went unreplaced. Oh wait I was promised front door copies of the key I never got the Front door key so we have had to use the side door. I bet the university would not be happy if they found out the condition the home is in that she is renting to Foreign Exchange Students...Maybe she will just let me move out instead of mess with my family further...I am sure she would not want me to tell this all to her and to the proper channels.
I have to get Alex to his Pedi Ortho on Monday and I pray that it will not cost too much as it will be eating into the moving money...what a lovely life we live. On the good side Marc gets paid two days before Christmas. I am sad to be honest...a poor lil fake 1 ft tall tree for Christmas decorating in the middle of the house. I guess it is a good thing. Have you ever had those days where you wonder if you were really suppose to live this life anymore?
