House Limbo

Everyone I know blogs. Though I've never stuck with a journal for more than a few entries, I thought I might try my hand at it again. I started to create a new blog, but decided that there's nothing wrong with picking up the old one and dusting it off.

Brian and I are in house limbo right now. He just took a job in Bossier and has been living with my parents for the past 3 weeks. I've been driving back and forth between Van Buren and Bossier with Molly, taking care of the house and slowly bringing things down.

We can't start looking for new houses in earnest until we sell the old one. We can't sell the old one until the hail damage from the storms in early April is fixed. One of our contractors is flaking out on us and I have no idea when it's all going to actually be finished. I just want it to all be done so that Brian and I can get out of my parent's hair.

Don't get me wrong - they've been amazingly generous in so many ways during this transition. It's just that after living away from family for the last 4 years, constantly being around them is a little taxing.

I've also been talked into doing some summer school teaching for the month of June. I'll be doing GEE remediation several days a week. Fun times... but it's a quick 1000...

Anyways, going to go feed my Sudoku habit and go to sleep.
