Downsized: Happy New Year!! We Moved!!!

Everkins at our old house :)

Oh MY GOSH! I miss you guys so much. I feel weird without my blogworld, like part of my brain that is plugged in here is like Um, who turned off the lights? No Facebook, no blogging, no emails, just sick me, sick husband, sick baby, and moving moving moving. We are here! We are in the state of shock called New To The Neighborhood where our stuff is still in boxes all over the house, and we collapse in bed at the end of the night completely and totally exhausted from working full time to come home to unpacking, dinner and baths and bed. I have not french kissed my husband in weeks, people. WEEKS. This is unheard of for the Currys. I don't even want to go near our sex life. In fact, we haven't!! Get it! Get it! OK, really bad joke brought on by moving psychosis. Just now as I type this post, the fire alarm went off downstairs because Mr. Curry is attempting to bake pizzas for dinner.  Who puts a fire alarm in a kitchen? We have an oven!! We haven't had an oven in two years. So Dakota is back at home, and that is awesome, he and Ian back to sharing a room (sniff) and Lola Ever Mr. Curry and myself have slept together in the master bedroom the last couple nights. The girls are sleeping much better because this house is not cold and drafty, and Ever's breathing is much better at night- I can't tell you how happy that makes me.  She's on antibiotics and a steroid and breathing treatments after getting very sick last week, and doing much better. I feel really really weird. This happens to me whenever major change occurs. I get a little dissociative. It's unsettling and unpleasant but I handle it better and better as life goes on. I can't wait to finish packing and get back to your blogs and see what is happening in your worlds. We did it!!!  xo

Congratulations on you new home! so glad it's feeling good and cozy.

After moving every 6 months to couple of years for my ENTIRE adult life (from age 16 on) I have now been in one place for the past 12 years. Kids were born & lived their whole (9 years) lives in this place, and we're contemplating a move soon. It feels strange and impossible, I am so out of the habit and so deeply settled. I am close to panicked, but going through it "with" you is helping me regain perspective - it's JUST a move.

Wishing you nothing but joy in your new home!

Oh Maggie! I've missed you too! I'm so happy that you found a place that is better for the girls.

It was sort of funny how you linked up the stove and Dakota moving back... sounded like he was pissed because you didn't have a stove, and now he's moved back because voila! you have one. Silly. I'm so happy he's back whatever the reason.

Keep deep breathing and tap your chest to check in with yourself and make sure you are "here"! I get dis-associative myself during transition, or overstimulation (traffic, parties, etc..) Hang in.

You are doing great and for goodness sakes, will you please french kiss Mr. Curry before you both have a kiniption! :-P

So good to hear. I hope that dissociative feeling dissipates soon and you get a more settled feeling.

Congratulations on the new digs!!

I am not even kidding you, I just had to hoist Audrey up to the computer screen because she insisted on kissing that picture of Ever.

Welcome to your warm, down-sized home! May your beautiful family have countless happy and memorable moments here.

And may all of you be well and sniffle-free very, very soon.

Maggie,

Sorry to hear you and your hubby haven't locked lips in weeks and that you're all under the weather. No fun, no fun at all.

Well, I just stopped by to wish you all the best for 2012. If you need some comedic relief, I've started blogging again, so feel free to drop by and read a customer story. :)

Cheers,
JB

Glad Ever is feeling better!

Take your time unpacking so you can get back to french kissing.

Congrats on your new place, sounds like it's going to be a wonderful home for your beautiful family.

Fire Alarm near the stove and all!

January Dawn said...

Yay! Congrats and Happy New Year to you and yours. I always feel discombobulated when changes occur so I get where you're coming from. I can barely handle a new fridge let alone a new place to live. I am so happy for you guys!

Annie said...

Congratulations, Maggie! Get it all done in manageable bits, and in between, try to get some rest! I know it's hard when you're both working full time, but it will come together. I'm so happy you're happy, and the move is going well. Happy New Year!

Hyacinth said...

Congratulations on your new home...and yay for Dakota moving back in :) Your new place sounds absolutely perfect!

My husband and I have been talking somewhat seriously about packing up and moving...to a smaller home in a town that we both love! It's scary and unsettling and the thought of selling and packing everything up and moving makes me want to crawl under my blankets and close my eyes...but you're definitely an inspiration :)

Caroline said...
