finally...out of soap.

shortly after I got married, I began stocking up on household items. The main one being bars of ivory soap, not really sure why, but my mom shopped in bulk so I just picked up the habit. I went a little crazy one month, and I remember John remarking how we weren't going to have to buy soap for years. He was right, that was 6yrs ago.
Tonight I started the clean sweep of the bathrooms. I was dismayed to discover I only have 1 bar of soap left. I haven't bought soap in 6yrs, how am I going to remember to buy it now?

Out of the mouths of babes...

I just tucked Andrew into bed...this is how his prayer went:
"Jesus, Father, have a great day (thank you for a great day)...welcome for (thank you for) John and Carolyn and Sean from Magiccuts who cut my hair. Amen"

sigh....

time to relax, everything finally went through...it was one of those 11th hour things, with backup plans in place in case anything went wrong. I just signed all the papers...the apartment is officially mine, the house is officially sold...life is officially moving on.
Andrew asked his dad to live with us in the apartment, he had to explain why he couldn't. It broke my heart, life's just not fair. But then I guess no one promised it would be.
So we'll reorganize, declutter, get rid of some unneeded things and move to the next phase of our lives, not sure what that is but it will be an adventure. Someone who cares about me very deeply is encouraging me to travel, go to Africa before I settle into the mundane business of society, to take a risk ... Just do it, take the road less travelled....
I have to figure out how to do that with a 4yr old. I need to have an established life here for him, but I also need to fullfill some dreams (callings?) of my own, how do I do that? I don't think I'll worry about that tonight...I think I'll draw a hot bath and rest knowing it's in God'd hands and in his timing.

moving day(s)

Moving day is April 1st! (it's a friday) but I don't have to be out until the 2nd, so I can spread it out over 2days.
