Counting Down

It was a rough night...last night.  I was exhausted yet couldn't sleep.  Insomnia is a bitch!  I laid in the dark thinking of all the things I wanted to get up and do.  Pack.  Make lists. Clean. Write.  All of those things are difficult to do at 1230 when your love is sleeping wrapped around you, two boys sleeping across the hall, one boy sleeping downstairs, and one big girl and one little girl sleeping in the basement.  I wanted music up loud and lights on.  Instead I chose to read in bed and thankfully dozed off with the book in hand around 2 am.  I fell asleep with a headache and woke with one.  Now I'm finishing coffee in bed and deciding what to do with this day.  We are at 61 days til roll out.  It still feels like I have plenty of time yet not enough.  I'm not sure when, or if, that will change.  The agenda for today involves grocery shopping and picking Nina up from band tryouts.  Anything managed in between will be a bonus.  With the holidays quickly approaching it makes time constraints difficult.  We sat down with our landlord on Monday and the conversation went well.  They are sad to see us go as we are great tenants (their words!) but they are excited for us as well!  Now comes the part where we fix all the little things that we know due to living here and preparing for a new tenant to live in this house we love.  We know someone who came to tour the whole house and loves it!  Finding a new tenant who is interested is helpful for our landlord and us.  It takes a bit of the sadness away knowing who will live here and that they love this old house.  Here's sending a prayer up that things continue down the same path for this to continue to be a happy home!
