The Icing on the Cake
 And the icing on the cake of chaos that has been my life of late is this…
My husband and I rent a condo from a military guy who’s been stationed in North Carolina. We’ve been there for three years and love it. He just called my husband a few minutes ago to tell him that we have to be out in 30 days because he wants to move in.
Ha!
So we have until September 30 to find a place, pack, and move. Every weekend in September except for one was booked. I say “was” because we’re going to need to cancel things so we have weekends free for packing.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
that blows! i would have no problems going back to the guy and asking for more time - that’s ridiculous… i know it’s his condo but geesh - i’m sure he has been thinking about moving back so why didn’t he let you guys know? anyway, i’m sure it will work out but if it was me, i’d probably do both (laugh and cry)… :o)
Ack! I’m so sorry! You’ve made it clear you love that place. you know, you can totally work the whole pregnancy thing to your advantage, worth a try on this one.
But really, I hope you guys are able to find the perfect place for a family of 3 soon. Good luck!
WHAT THE FREAKIN’ HECK!!!! You got 30 days notice after living there three years???? I guess the amount of time you’ve lived there doesn’t mean much (since it would be annoying to have to move out in 30 days regardless), but…still.
Oh, wow, Jen. That’s so crazy. With all the stress at work, and the new baby, and trying to decide what to do about your writing commitments…this really sucks.
I’m sorry - that sucks! This is completely insane, but try to keep your chin up…I know it sounds cliche’ but there’s got to be a method to all this madness…I just know it! It will all work out, life is funny like that, in the mean time…you want me to hunt this guy down and convince him to give you more time?
‘wink wink’

sending you thoughts of CALM AND STRENGTH.
seriously, email me if I can lend an eyeball (Id offer an ear via phone but all youd hear would be my tornado whining, errr, chattering on)
M.
That sucks!!!
I would give the guy and call and ask for an extension of some kind. That’s too soon to hurry and find a new place that you both really like!
I’m so sorry… 30 days is not enough time to pack and get yourself in a mental preparation. Life can turn on a dime. While you’re packing, start counting the blessings ~ that helps. *hugs*
Sorry, love. I know this is the last thing you needed right now.
Some people decide they’re ready for babies and houses.
Some have babies and houses (blessedly) thrust upon them.
We believe in you.

Oh that really sucks. I am sending you good vibes that all this moving is seamless.
just checking back in on you…letting you know in yer FRENZY there are lots of people out here sending you callllllllllming thoughts.
Be calm cool and collected! If you are under stressed, call me and tell me your problems, I’m here to listen to you.
That is a better way for you to deal with time constraints.
Just remember that everything really does happen for a reason. When we go through tough decisions it’s a way for God to be stronger to help you in what is to come. Everything will work out for the good you see.
When you need a shoulder to lean on remember I’m here.
just dropping by again to let you know i’ve been thinking about you and sending Happy Thoughts your way!!
