It's been a long, cold winter but it's finally coming to an end. We had what I hope to be the last snow storm of the season this week. Today the temps are supposed to climb near 50 degrees and all the way through next week we are suppose to see sunshine and 60 degree weather. I'm ready to shake off these winter blues and spring into long walks, barbecues, bonfires and our new house.
We hit a little hiccup with the close date for our new place. The sellers are having a house built and their builder is behind schedule. I knew there would be some type of set back with the home purchase, I've just been praying it wasn't financially related. So, this change in closing was kind of a relief. Although I don't have a date yet, I expect for it to be early April instead of late March. In the meantime, it's still full steam ahead in the packing and cleaning. I have already accomplished cleaning out the basement, which was a huge task. Last weekend, the kids and I cleaned out and packed up the main level. The bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and their bedrooms have been decluttered,scrubbed down and everything we won't need over the next few weeks has been packed. Alex and Eva were really fantastic helpers in completing this project. Grace on the other hand spent 45 minutes cleaning off one shelf in the bathroom. She sort of packed her room, but really left a lot for me to do. I don't blame her. Entirely. She does struggle with focus issues and packing and cleaning requires a fair amount of focus. Nonetheless, I'm pretty satisfied with the progress we've made.
This weekend, I'm focusing on myself. I took yesterday evening as my "off time". I put on comfy clothes, ate bad for me food, binge watched netflix and went to bed early. Today, I'm hitting the gym after work and making a healthy dinner. I've been slacking on the exercise the last few weeks and really need to ramp up again. Even though I was able to wear a pair of jeans that haven't fit since 2013, I know if I fall off the wagon I'll put the near 25 pounds I've lost right back on. Tomorrow morning I'm heading out early to Eva's last basketball game. Then to the lake for a hike, as long as the weather cooperates. To finish off the morning, I'm getting my eye brows done and picking up a few needed beauty products. Once back home, I'm spending the afternoon rocking out to some tunes while I clean out and pack up my bedroom, office, sitting area. For the evening, I'm not sure yet. I'm leaving it open for some spontaneity . Sunday resumes my normal chores of grocery shopping and laundry.
Although there's nothing exciting, per se, on my agenda, I'm still really excited for the weekend.
Now, to get this work day to a close.
