home

I'm home!! It's been a long week. We had to empty my childhood home of thirty years of memories, memorabilia, and junk. We had a major sale, gave most away, and really learned who were friends. I could not have survived without my family, my friend Kelly, and my new good friends who were there all along-my neighbors. The work they will continue to do I can never make up for-EVER! That's a hard thing to swallow. I can only try and be so nice to someone else when they need it! I am ready to retire this whole depressing attitude of being parentless and I'm starting tonight with the perfect margarita. I just sent Shane to the store for some Cointreau and I will gather the rest. Tonight is UFC on Pay-per-View.....yes my husband is addicted to it and since he leaves for Iraq in two weeks I will gladly pay the fee, supply some food, and mix the drinks! I really need a party. So to my scrapbooking friends I checked out Recollections-holy cow! I spent my allowance for the year and am still waiting on the truck to pull up with my new stuff.
So this is where my parent's rest at Quantico and the next is my family home...hopefully another family will have as many wonderful thougts about it that I do. Well to the next post of happier thoughts! Oh and Mel my Christmas is Friday-I've barely started shopping-at least my house is decorated. thank you house
