In this house I have very limited space so every few months I have to work through piles to throw things out. I never realized just how much paper can collect... this Diva creation and that drawing.

I would happily do her work if it meant she would have the time to leave the way she wants to leave. <BR/><BR/>Ryan - Who knows, if you have another kid, maybe she will let you stay home and... well, "fix" the house in addition to caring for the child. <BR/><BR/>I think that it is difficult to pack up and say good-bye to the memories and the experiences that dwell within the air and fabric of the house. Once a house becomes a home, it is hard to leave. <BR/><BR/>Bre - I have cried each time too... but three or so weeks before I actually move. <BR/><BR/>Scotty - You are a type... A personality?! ;) Let me know when you are moving and I will help you get through it. <BR/><BR/>Just Run - I love the change as well. I am not sure it is as easy to love the change when you aren't truly sure you want it. I have never moved without wanting the move, so am not truly sure how it feels when the action is half hearted.The Exceptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758654167029552230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-884836098099593782007-07-26T08:47:00.000-04:002007-07-26T08:47:00.000-04:00I hate the act of moving, for sure.
