I ask you to bear with me as the HomeValleyians soldier on to Big D. We've got so much on our plates right now, what with living in different states and all. Oh, I didn't tell you that? I haven't been updating this blog regularly?
Stop looking at me like that. I know I am a sorry excuse for a blogger.
J moved to Texas on January 25th. For those playing along at home, this means we have been living apart for roughly a month, sans the ten-day sojourn Hendrik and I just took to the Lone Star state.
It's been... challenging? Enlightening? Heart-breaking? Empowering? Lonely? Chaotic? Exhausting?
Yes, on all counts.
So bear with me. I want to tell you all the dirty details of the move, but I've got an uber-demanding nine-month old who is TEETHING in the worst way. Teeth are bitches. They keep babies up moaning all night, and temporarily single mamas are kept awake growling and trying to remember why they love this little person, because for the love of Lionel Hank STOP SCREAMING.
I am also in dire need of a blog reno, but I fear the house reno will have to take precedence.
To sum up thus far:
J = Texas, houses, 100 hours of work per week
H = TEETH
HV = puffy eyes, IVs of caffeine, Skype with J, moving companies, budgets, Trulia, planes (so small we might as well be in the fucking cargo bin), HGTV
Manayunk House = SOLD
Dallas House = Under contract, pray God
Sidewalk in Front of Current Home = Torn up by gas company's jackhammer
Gas Company = ASSHOLES
And yet?
Life = Very, very Good
