Stuff

It's that time of the year again. Cauliflower planting has started and Husband left early in the morning to help. This would be all fine and dandy except that since school is almost over he's been so busy that we've hardly seen him all week. We miss him!

But he'll be back in the evening and tomorrow little girl gets him all to herself when I go take my very first service after having her. It's sooooo weird, returning back to work that is, although just for this service. It's now been a year and a half since I last was in charge of a service. Well, God was and is, but you know what I mean.

I am not the same person anymore but I'm not quite sure what that really means, if anything. I hope that motherhood has changed me for the better but if it has how that translates to being a pastor I don't know. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow just for that and I'm so pleased to see my congregation again.

We haven't been able to attend services because up till now our little one has taken her afternoon naps between 3-4 p.m. and then eaten around 5 p.m. She is right now in the process of starting to take only one nap a day but that waries a bit still, too. Mostly because of teething. She now has two new teeth on the bottom and the other two are on their way. In fact I think one came through last night (at least there was very little sleeping happening...).

I wrote months ago that I wanted to try to write something about motherhood come Mother's Day. As you can tell I didn't. Motherhood kind of got in the way :), and the move, and the fact that Husband is more overworked than ever.

I love blogging and find myself often writing a little piece in my head but to actually get to the computer and write that's another thing. We seem to have so little time as a family and as a couple that sitting in front of the computer during those time just isn't the thing. And more often than not these times when little girl is taking her nap I have a thousand chores to take care of.

I do now, too, but I really wanted to write AND I can't do much packing since it makes quite a bit of noise so I have the perfect excuse.

I can't believe that we're almost there. This is our last week in this apartment. Come Thursday or if we are lucky already Wednesday evening we get the keys to our new home - the family moves this weekend but wanted to do some cleaning up before letting us move in. I'm all for someone else cleaning so this is really nice :).

There's renovation work being done in the houses surrounding us where we now live and it is about to extend to ours, too. They lifted something that sounded like an old rusty submarine up there on Thursday and forced little girl and me and uncle T out for her naptime since it was LOUD and little girl couldn't understand what was happening. Understandibly so since they were on top of us on the roof. So, we're REALLY looking forward to the move.

This time around we've hired a moving company. It's kind of costly but I think we're not going to regret it. Thursday we move our beds and a kitchen table and chairs into our new home plus all of the other stuff we need to be able to sleep over there. Friday the moving company guys come in and move our furniture. And Saturday Husband and little girl's godmother's wonderful husband move all of the boxes we've already packed from the temporary storage where thay now are. There are about a hundred of them plus other stuff from our storage here. We have incerible amounts of stuff! And fifty of the boxes contain books :).

So this is us for now. Tired and preoccupied with the big move but extremely happy about it and expecting a great summer :).
