forget dreams — today we were approved, we settle details this week, we get to move in on the 15th, we HAVE a home.

when Mama C told me and we were driving away from here to go do some things w/o the boys & the teen, I grabbed her arm, there were tears in my eyes, and I said “we have a home.”

The shock didn’t wear off for a while. but my mind went into high gear - I threw out discussions on chore charts, calendars for schedules, a no TV downstairs main living area, etc etc etc. Hell, I even went on about the boys having new bath towels and about linens and deck chairs for the mama deck.

“I will say, your ticket is for steerage. This is the Ledo deck. Get down below!”

yeah yeah yeah - dee-lirious

and I am still loopy

Now there are big steps — telling my son’s father, telling my family, telling my son we are moving out. Packing, arranging. Jobs stuffs MUST solidify - so I will hear on Monday how I have two more little boys in my flock. Once upon a time I had pink& purple and girlie’s stuff as far as the eyes could see. Now I am awash in a sea of testosterone and blue blue little boys.

I actually drew a parallel between myself and Jo from Little Women the other day, but was too busy multitasking to follow that tangent.

Now, I am too tired & too wired to do much more than shower & actually go to bed early so I can get up at the crack of dawn to go to work to make money to pay MY rent!!!
