4 DAYS...

Ummm..... this is insane. I've got the POD all filled and I will be sleeping on the hardwood floors in my sleeping bag. I have about 4 truck loads left of CRAP and no where to put it. I will have to rely on MOM and POP storage in the next city.

I'm sad that it's getting so close to the move. I mean, I did have some good memories here even if most of them where pretty harsh. I will miss this place. Mainly because I worked my ass off to try and maintain it.

Sometimes, I thought to myself - "Wow, Jacque, look at you. You have accomplished so much here." It's true. I have. Sometimes I would work so hard I couldn't tell the sweat from the tears. Other times I was so overwhelmed with the responsibilty there wasn't any confusion if the tears where there at all. Oh how I hated this place and at times... still do.

People my age are buying their first house. Here I am getting rid of my first house and moving into something a little less scary. Almost like I'm in my 50's. At times I feel as if I failed by not being able to stick it out. In reality, the single mother and her daughter that are purchasing the home are going to have thier very first home here. They will enjoy what I worked so hard to accomplish. What better gift to myself is that?
