Musings

So, I'm a disorganized, exhausted, mess these days, I'm just going to admit it. And I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

So much to do, so little time, so much work, so many people, so many phone calls, so many forms, so much money, so many miles, so many boxes, so much to sell, there's just so much right now.

Today's to do list consists of about a dozen forms or phone calls to change service levels, change addresses, stop service, etc....

I also need to price out independent insurance for us since it doesn't appear either of us will be bringing in a job with health insurance immediately. Basically, as long as we don't get pregnant, it will be affordable it seems. I did some quick estimation forms over the weekend, and it looks like we can get the basics covered for about $200 a month, without maternity insurance, so we'd just better not get pregnant! My BCP's would be covered, so that's good, but if I get pregnant, all bets are off. I've always been in the mindset that getting pregnant isn't something I feel ready for, but if it happens, it happens, God will provide. We're married, we're happy (most the time) and I have a job I could keep doing if needed, so I'm sure I'd get excited if it happened, the idea just doesn't excite me yet. But, without insurance, here's to praying not to get pregnant! I never thought I'd say that!

Dealing a bunch of new garbage from the in-laws, just separation issues I'm thinking, so hopefully all the ruse comments will die off after we leave.

Trying to help settle my students the best I can. I can't seem to find any teachers in the area though, so I feel really bad leaving. I know it's not my responsibility, but still, some of these kids have been with me for 6 and 7 years now, there's an attachment, and there's that, not just anyone can take my place with them feeling.

I drove stick all day yesterday, for the first time ever! I think I'm getting the hang of it. Other than the moron who dead stopped for no reason in front of me and made me slam on it and stall, and a few people who don't understand that when someone's deliberately rolling back to prevent stalling you should not creep up on their bumper, I did well. A little bucking here and there, but otherwise no major problems.

I don't know what else, I think I need more coffee to type straight and a shower before I get cleaning. I'm car-less today until 4:00, so the plan was to clean and box as much stuff as I can, but I guess the kitchen will have to wait as I'm the smart one who ran out of dish soap and didn't realize until I had a full sink of dishes and no car. So, I think I'll just stay out of the kitchen and deal with the rest of the house.
