well since we made the decision on the house tuesday--ive been over here tues,wednds,today, will be there all day tomorrow,saturday night, all day sunday,and everyday next week when i get off work at 1. BUSY!
its alot bigger of a project than i thought it would be. ive been runnin myself ragged but i know itll be worth it. not to mention i really am doin a favor for the rest of the family--no one really WANTS to go through my grandmothers things. its hard. harder than i thought it would be--alot more emotional than i anticipated. im just trying to keep in mind what my mom told me: that my grandparents would be happy knowing joey and i are working on the house/living there. its about time to bring that house to life again.
i dont know if ive worked so hard in my life! its been tough doing it alone,its alot for one person. but vicky is coming tomorrow,MIL on Sunday,and Christina 3 days next week--so itll be good to have some help. and some company too!
its cool going through my grandmothers things, getting to know her in a way. the house is great,and we're blessed to have this opporunity-though it does come with some major work! its not as simple as renting a house (which is basically what we're doing) and moving in/decorating/unpacking. im having to go through each room, go through all their things, make some space for us,clean the house top to bottom,we'll need to pressure wash the driveway and house,fix up the deck and porch, get things ready for a garage sale,and estate sale--those two things in themselves will be a big project. but itll be nice to have joey to help me,and us do it together. i know my dad really appreciates it too. i cant imagine how hard it would be for he and my uncle to do all of this-so im glad we can help :)
lots of work, im exhausted, gone through feeling overwhelmed, greif over my grandmother passing, forgetting to eat! ha--its just all consuming. but im glad we're lucky enough to have it :) i cant WAIT for joey to get home! its SO close!!! a week from tomorrow :) !!
thats all for now! back to work!

I can only imagine having to go through my own grandparents stuff. I helped pack up my GMILs trailer and it was difficult.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you just have a week until Joey gets home!!!!!
