on the third week of summer... our house is still on the market (11 days) Cash offer still pending but I’m not buying it. My sweet Addie Rae turned 8! Little Love Pet Pool Party. I got stung six times by wasps when I was cleaning up the party. Fun! I’m coaching Addie’s select summer league 8u. Cat’s been preparing for Nationals next week with double practice, skills camp and privates. We bought a rental/transition house we will renovating and moving into early August right before I have to go bk to work. I am tired but getting it all done. My girls are happy. Addie said it was the best bday ever. They both say that every year.

For an entire week every minute I am home I have...
decluttered, organized, disinfected, scrubbed, caulked, painted, repaired and staged 2200sqft. My husband got a haircut and made at least ten trips to goodwill drop off. My girls have lounged! Im exhausted.

we are putting our house on the market. We bought a small house we will live in till house gets built at the land. Then we will rent it out. We close in July 9th. I’ve been cleaning and repairing our home for show. I haven’t been too nostalgic or sentimental until today. I raised my babies here. Sigh.

It has been 21 years. Half of my life has gone by and still my dreams are the same. Will they ever change? Will I ever have the courage or the will to alter the ending or the strength to walk away. I could live another life. I have lived many lives in the past and still my reach will never be far enough. There is always distance and heartbreak It will never be me. How long will it go on. Because I remember a moment, one small moment when life was different.

My baby graduated from elementary yesterday. I am so proud of her. She has so much goodness inside. She’s brave and level headed. Her work ethic is amazing. We could not ask for more. Thank you Lord for the blessing of Catalina.
