Been a long time....

Wow. I didn't realize that my last post was July 26th..... Ooops!

We have had an absolute WHIRLWIND of activity in the weeks since I last wrote. We....
-went on vacation (had a pretty good time, too)
- came home to an unsold house and barking dogs
-complained to the neighbors about aforementioned dogs
-complained to the City Bylaw services about the frigging dogs
-Hubby went off on the August civic holiday and went out with his friend and I got the house ready for another showing with 4 small kids who were disobedient and a very hairy dog
-we sold the house!!!! Yes!!!
-c/s'ed another home in Smalltown Alberta where we wanted to move to
-had house inspections
-visited my IL's in central Alberta
-looked at buying a new washer/dryer set for the new house in Smalltown Alberta
-brought up the microwave! Woot woot for popcorn again!!!

Needless to say, it's been completely CRAZY the last few weeks.
Hubby and I have been alright - we've had a few miscommunication glitches, but we managed to work them out.
One thing that I was really surprised at was how completely overwhelmed I felt while we were on vacation. I think it was because we really didn't ANY chance to be chillin' or even alone time.
I know on our first night back at home, I dashed out the door to Wal-Mart just to be alone for an hour or so. (I ended up buying new jammies, so it's all good)
Even now, a week plus later after getting home, I find that I am needing my space. I am needing "Me Time" again pretty desperately.
I feel bad, but I am more than happy to have my alone time while Hubby is out with friends, so we are working it out.

However, we still have loads of work left to be done in order to move to Smalltown, Alberta. I still have to pack up the house and get it all ready to move. (I don't mind the packing, but just the sheer logistics! Oy vey!)
We still have to call the new school, utilities, the phone company (good thing we have friends there! LOL), get our mail done.... (Oh crap - that's what I have to do...)

Off to go get stuff done.....
