Well we're here. Mostly thanks to Matt and his buddy... they rocked the moving thing. Had my stuff packed up in the truck in less than an hour, granted I don't have a whole lot, but still, I can barely walk up the stairs in that amount of time. Shae was still here and able to help them and me and while Matt was putting things together I was taking Shae to the airport :( . It hit me on the way to get him that he was leaving and I just lost it. He's been my rock lately, getting me through some hard stuff and looking out for me since I don't do a good job of it myself and think I can do more than I am suppose to do.
So after he nearly knocked me down the escalator with his luggage, we made it to his gate... and he left... so I went from 4 kids to 2 kids faster than I went from 2 to 4... I'm still in a bit of shock. I don't know that Shae and I have spent more than a night or two apart since he was born... We had some good laughs his last day, he's been such a good kid... still fights with his brothers but he's still human and 13, just doin his job.
The boys told me today that they LOVE Layton... I think they love the pool and the fact that their grandma is 12 miles away and has come and taken them to the pool the last two days so we could unpack. They've been completely worn out at night, which is great.... they are sleeping in their own room, in their bunkbeds, with their own desk and lamp and dresser... this is a whole new thing for them. The last time the boys had their own room they were still in cribs in Eagle Mountain... they actually have their own closet we can hang clothes up in... it's weird.
I'm doing ok, I've probably over done it the last few days, go figure. Set myself back some I'm sure. Took a spill at mom's but fortunately only skinned my knee and bruised my elbow. Could have been alot worse.... the stairs are a trial at the end of the day... I'm just worn out and my feet are still numb for some dumb reason and I have a cyst on my scar, nice visual huh? Not sure what's normal and what's not so I have a call in to the dr's office.
Its strange not having anyone here to talk too at night. I can't wait for Shae to come back, he got the loft room and it's HUGE and I'm excited for him to set it up... he's gonna love it.
I have tried to reply to comments on previous posts but for some reason it won't let me... so I'm not ignoring anyone, I promise! I'm still here, email me, text me, call me, facebook.... whatever, all uhhhh 3 of you :)
I think things are going to be ok... I have my room back with huge vaulted ceilings, my own rules, don't have to tip-toe around anyone or anything, I do have to figure out where Little Caesars Pizza is though, and soon... the thought of buying groceries and carrying them up the stairs with no Shae :( well, just doesn't sound like a good time...
I hope he enjoys himself... the boys even miss him and called to talk to him. He didn't believe it... it was cute.
I do hope I can be one of the three....^.^)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it went well. We don't like being the old people over here...can't lift, can't walk, can't even stay awake half the time.
I know you'll miss Shae. I've been very impressed how well he has "stepped up to the plate" to take care of you. He really is a hero.
It's good to hear that you are all happy. The apartment sounds just fabulous! Glad to hear it.
I hope we can see you soon. I wanted you closer to me, but I think your mom will love being a really terrific grandma. Slow down now and take good care of yourself.
