Not Such a Great Day
About half way to school this morning, I turned down the music that Kolby and I were 'proudly' howling along to because I thought I heard something. There was this noise. It sounded like it was coming from the trunk. I wondered to myself what in the heck I had left in the trunk that would be making that much noise. Then I wondered for about half a second if I had a flat tire but quickly dismissed that notion since you can normally feel a flat tire. Hmm, guess I shouldn't have been quite that quick to dismiss it! When we got to school, a truck pulled up next to me to tell me that I was driving on a flat.....a really flat, flat! Check this out! ARGH!!!! Thankfully, my brother came right over when I called him to help me out! Then came the movers to pack up what's left of Jeff's stuff around here and ship it off to Korea. I'm certain they thought I was completely bonkers as I followed them around asking if they got this and got that. Then asking, you packed this, that and the other this way right? This was incredibly heartbreaking. I didn't think that it would be that bad, but I was wrong. Thankfully, the guys packing everything up were very patient and kind! Tehehehe.  And.....the icing on the cake. I'm not sure what I was thinking when we decided to put the house on the market so soon after Jeff's departure. Logically, it made sense, but I'm not sure that any of us were really ready to see this out on the front yard....or on the front door.   Kolby really took it the hardest. He plum freaked out about it and then freaked out convinced that it meant daddy wasn't going to live with us anymore. Me, it just felt like one more fixture assuring that Jeff really is gone, even if just temporary. Then, it hit me for the first time that we would never live in this house together again. UGH. Just not fun. |
