I realize that the daily grind is much more challenging today than in days gone by. I also realize that I am not doing anything thoughtfully...mostly going through the motions. I have a kind of routine everyday that gets me going in the morning, but if I don't have the entire day pretty much planned out I find myself sitting and staring at the TV way to much. It is so easy to get overwhelmed with what has to be done.
The house we are living in is still in a mess. I know what I need to do to get organized but we are a little strapped for cash since the renovation. We thought we had a good plan as far as where the money was to go. We thought we had a contractor we could trust..someone we were sure knew what and how to do everything we needed to get done. We didn't count on some of the poor choices he made and I was still in Montana so I was unable to keep and eye on things and my daughter was working full time and taking care of the boys and getting ready to move herself. We made mistakes, he made mistakes and we had to move into a partially unfinished house and are trying to figure out how to pay for the final bills.
"Live and learn" is the phrase that keeps going through my head. I know I should have had a contract but I didn't get one. We should have been able to get more bids and to be able to choose more carefully, but we weren't. We made mistakes.
Oh, well. We have a nice little house with heat and a new roof.
We are safe and together. We will be okay.
