Up, up, and away
Posted on | June 11, 2006 |
Up to our necks in rain, that is. I cannot quite find the words to describe what 21 days of rain does to a person’s psyche. Gag. Nor can I really describe how it exacerbates the misery of these final days of projects—washing out mortar buckets in the rain, carrying boxes in the rain, everything damp and chilled. So I’m off. To NJ to spend a week in a slightly more temperate place with DH’s parents, while DH works solo on the house. Trying to keep “family” together is more of a strain at this point. He’ll get more done without us, and we will be able to have all the creature comforts of a furnished house (my mom is still awaiting her furniture!) There, I’ll have reliable internet and some time, so I can finally post some of the pictures I’ve been snapping, and regale you with all of the brilliant Bean developments that have been taking place. Of course, between now and then is a 7 hour car ride with a crazy Italian whose had a little too little sleep, and a teething beansprout. It will most certainly be an adventure!

Preparing a new house is difficult enough without trying to do it in the constant rain. I’m glad you’re getting away with Bean, and I’m looking forward to pics and Bean stories.

Can’t wait to see the photos and enjoy your week in NJ. I wonder if you’re anywhere near our neck of NJ……I hope the drive is uneventful.

Remember to breathe and count to 10 every time you think your head might be going to explode
You could always come here, the weather is AWESOME! (finally!!)

I hope you have the best of trips, I know how it is to travel with a little one.
And, oh yeah, we need more pictures of how the house is coming!

Finally! Some rest! I’m relieved to know you’ll be able to regain some balance in your life. Power to you and your husband. It’s a team effort.
Hugs,
Steph

Good luck. Travel safely. It has been much too long, but I always wonder how you are. I am sorry about all the rain. No fun. I have convinced myself that I have S.A.D. and am impressed that you have made it this far. Enjoy your time in New Jersey and don’t get lost on the Turnpike [wink]. (I have gotten lost on the Turnpike due to those tiny tiny New Jersey road signs.)

pleased to know you’re having a bit of a break. oh how worth all the toil it will be in the end, one gargantuan labor of love…how enveloping it will be when the time comes to snuggle in for the first time.
