we're in our house now. we're still painting, cleaning, unpacking, doing some everyday things. we're pretty overwhelmed with all of the life lessons we're learning at such a quick pace. i guess the learning curve is pretty steep right now.
i know eventually this will feel like an old friend, at least that's what i hope. so far the hot water heater had been turned off and we couldn't get hot water. js called someone to come fix that. had we known that it could be fixed by doing the opposite of what the directions say to do, we could have done it ourselves. the second night we stayed in the house the garage door wouldn't close. the motor was grinding like it wanted to move but it wasn't lowering. js eventually pulled it down and now it doesn't open. we will have someone come and look at it to see what we need to do. i guess we live and learn.
we didn't move into a brand new house. we moved into a 60+ year old house and knew that it would need some work along the way. maybe we thought it would be later rather than sooner. we're learning as we go.
it's been a real adventure for pbs too. poor kid hasn't been able to do much because i'm too scared to leave him alone with all of the boxes and things that haven't found a place in our home yet. i'm sure eventually i will be comfortable with him being on his own...at least i'm hoping i get to that point. i want him to feel like he had a good childhood when he grows up.
we've been so busy and so tired that i think we all need a break. a vacation from our lives for a few days is definitely something we could use. if we could feel comfortable going away and coming back to all of the chaos that we're living in right now, that might be a challenge.
i guess the main thing is that we're in our house and can make it our home.
