In one respect, that is the title of one of my favorite car jam songs, by Danity Kane (if you don't know who they are, shame on you for not watching Making the Band). In another, it serves as a reminder to myself to step back sometimes, gain a little perspective and take it easy. I could have used a reminder of this last night, as I laid awake in my hotel bed, listening to Kazoo cry, knock pans off the stove, and run around our miniature bathroom like he was possessed. The poor fuzz balls are just going stir crazy, in our 400 square feet with no where to hide. Their behavior is just a symptom of our larger problem, and just when I thought I had adjusted to our surroundings, it becomes readily apparent that I haven't. All I wanted last night was to be in our house, like we were supposed to almost 3 weeks ago. I was tired of going to the laundromat, not eating well, wearing the same clothes, being disorganized, not being able to find anything and missing out on my hobbies.
We'll go over there today, but Nick and I are both skeptical that we will be ready to move in on July 9th. That is only 6 days away... So as I was lying there trying to fall asleep amid the rustling, crying and crashing, I couldn't help but question my (our) decision to buy our place, knowing there was a possibility that it wouldn't be done before residency started. All I could think of was how happy we'd be if I would have just picked on of the very nice, but very average, single family homes that I looked at before seeing the Park Ridge condos. Last night I wasn't so sure we'd made the right decision, but perspective comes with time, and after a few fitful hours of sleep, I woke up feeling a little better about things. I'll give you an update after our visit today. Fingers crossed that they have gotten lots and lots of stuff done.
Where are you? I miss the days when you weren't a resident and you had like two posts every day. I know you must be so busy! Don't be sad about your house, just think how happy you'll be once you're all settled! Miss you, and hope to talk to you soon.
