Gershwin was clearly writing about a different time and place when he wrote his beautiful song "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess. The living around here is far from easy; we are busier than ever! We have been going non-stop since we entered summer proper. Pool and birthday parties, fun with friends, and working to ready our house for sale. I think I mentioned that it is official, I have to sell the house. It is bittersweet. I look around and feel so good about this home. It is a really good one with great neighbors. But there are a whole lot of memories here that I'd prefer to forget, energy that I simply can't escape, and let's face it, this is WAY too much house for just me and the kids as we stand today. I'm actually excited to downsize and start from scratch. Create a home that is just mine and the kids from the start. No dirt left in the cracks from days gone by that hurt my heart.
With that said, there is SO incredibly much work to be done to ready this house for sale. Mostly cleaning and packing to declutter and show off the wonderful space that is here. Lots to do and not a lot of time to do it in. On top of that, I am investigating an interesting business possibility. Something I could do from the comfort of my own home, possibly even make enough to support myself in the not too distant future. It will require some focused time from me so I know I can't start it until after we have moved and possibly the kids are in school. But I can have everything in place ready to move forward when I'm ready. So think good thoughts for me! A quick sale on my house for a great price, and success on my business.
Other than all that I'm trying to give my kids a wonderful last summer in this home, with lots of pool time, facepainting, arts and crafts, and play dates galore. Time to heal from this horrible experience.
