It's Friday already, I haven't even told you all about the move.
As you can see, closing went well. Actually, this whole process was pretty painless. I'm not saying there weren't bumps, there were, but nothing so major that will leave scars.
So I closed on Friday and started moving stuff in the Saturday after. Luckily, most of my furniture was stored right there in the garage of Peed Bush. So when I say "moved" I mean, from the garage to it's resting place in the house. A short move, really. We focused the whole day to getting the big stuff in. (That's what she said).
Sunday was getting essentials unpacked, clothes, undies, and the likes...at 2pm people came over for Buggy's 9th Birthday. I was so proud.
Proud of my beautiful daughter.
(haha, just noticed her brother ON THE TABLE in the background)
Proud of my handsome son.
(yes, those are underwear on his head. Anyone see lamp shades in this boy's future?)
Proud of our "new" home.
Proud to have the friends that I do and proud of the family that came to the party.
Because of the divorce of my parents, my stepdad and his family DID not come to the party. Sadly. However, I had the back up plan set before I could even let the sadness settle.
I had been contacted by a member of Ex#2's family. Asking to be invited if we were having a birthday party. Therefore, I talked to Ex#2 and he said, invite all of his family. So it was settled.
I was proud of Ex#2 for attending the party.
I was proud of Ex#2's family that put aside personal feelings about OUR divorce to come and celebrate a CHILD'S day.
I was proud of ME.
Really, isn't that the best part of it all?
Being PROUD of YOURSELF?
I kept saying, this is MY house, this is MY furniture, this is MY life. As surreal as it all felt and still feels...it's AMAZING. It's about time I feel PROUD of me AGAIN!
That's the thing about weeks - sneaky little B****rds just sneak right by and all of a sudden it's like - you weren't even there! Where did it go - because YOU certainly didn't live all seven days, one right after the other with no stops in between except for an occasional nap and you were even SOBER and everything!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you should be very, very, proud of yourself.
Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself. Yell it from your roof, then the neighbors will really love ya!
ReplyDeleteYay for you! Be proud be happy be a marine...nevermind that last one.

ReplyDeleteOrgie Meatball- it's the SECOND best feeling in the world.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Stacie. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThis whole post made me smile.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is awesome. And a big WTG to #2's family for being so adult about the whole thing and putting Buggy first. I mean, the kids SHOULD come first.
ReplyDeleteBoys must climb a lot. Mine has started trying to climb the STOVE. What am I going to do?
Jennifer...may I suggest shutting off the flame. ;) JIC.
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAAAY for you!!! I'm happy you're having such positive feelings!
ReplyDeleteYou SHOULD be proud! I LOVE the underwear on his head. That made me laugh. I'm glad the ex and the ex family were big and came anyway!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you too! excellent maturity in here, even with the undies on head.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation on the move and the party. You should be proud. That is alot to do all at once.
ReplyDeleteI think you have every right to feel proud! What a lovely house and lovely children - pants 'n' all!
ReplyDeleteBTW. We call a mans underwear 'pants' :)
Sam says: "What the....UNDERWEAR??"
ReplyDeleteSamsmama says: Way to go, Stacie! Such a cute house for your super cute family!
Congratulations on the move, Buggy's birthday, ex#2, and the fact that your child is so sure of himself that he can sport underwear on top of his head and not worry about cooties, his or whomever the underpants might belong to. My daughter wears her underpants on her head too. In fact yesterday she dressed her pumpkin in her underpants. You have many things to be proud of, most of all you.
ReplyDeleteI love the underwear on the head...lol
ReplyDeleteMy daughter use to do that...great pictures to show them when they get older...ha.ha
Your kids are adorable.
First - your children are beautiful, as I'm sure you're already aware. But really - BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteSecond - this post made me weepy in a really GOOD way. I really needed to read something great today, and this was that great thing. You SHOULD be proud of you. :)
I kind of starting crying tears of joy for you. Cause you have a beautiful nine year old daughter and a too cute for his own good son, and your own...FREAKIN' OWN home, and Ex#2's family actually rock cause they all manned up and celebrated the importance of your daughter. I am proud of you too. You did good girl!
