I cannot believe that it is a month since I last had the time to sit on my computer, I have so missed reading everyone's blogs, it is like I have lost touch with all my friends....... which I have...... it will take me some time to catch up, but at long last things are slowing down and things are back to normal........ well as normal as my life can be.
Financial year is over, with going on our new computer system in June last year, this was our first financial year end and it was tough, it was rough and it was dirty...... I feel like I have gone 10 rounds with Mohamed Alie, and had both my ears, eyes and tongue bitten off my Mike Tyson, and just for good measure have been worked over by the Gladiators............ and that doesn't begin to explain how touch it has been.
I have been spring cleaning, I reached a stage when I could not live any more with all the "Ex's" personal things, and so I advised his lawyer he had 21 days to collect....... surprise....... he didn't and so I packed, and packed and packed, he had 3 boxes of shoes........ he had more shoes than me......... he had 15 bags of clothes................15 bags.............. and with every load I carried outside it was like a piece of the hurt dropping off.
I had an 18th party for my daughter, planned an outside party under the trees, with umbrella's it looked stunning but before I could take pictures and 10 minutes before the 25 guests arrived........... the heavens opened............... so it became an inside party........... oh my goodness.................. this was a big one for me i had to allow people to eat in my lounge................. in my lounge........... on my couches...............actually eat.............
Then it was Easter, and all the preparation that goes around that..................
Then I went back to court...............................................................................
And then I did a Woman's tea ........................
And now that I have my life back, and some time on my hands with only the lessons for the Holiday club in June, and the organisation for the Woman's retreat in August, the painting of Kayla's room, a Sunday sermon, and a cell group lesson to do..................... I will be completely up to date..................
I hope that you have some time to rest and enjoy a nice cup of tea! It sounds like you have been incredibly busy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm exhausted reading this!!! Actuallly my life rivals this a bit too so I very well understand. It's hard being pulled in so many emotional and physically demanding ways. I see an end too maybe, but at the same time it will probably take all summer and that is my beloved time of the year.
ReplyDeleteHope it all stays calm for you now to enjoy your life!
Oh don't we all go through these cycles of life. I feel like I'm in my own whirlwind. Then you don't want to tell anyone because they just say suck it up and do it anyhow...good luck! I'll be cheering you on.
ReplyDeleteSo many bloggers are saying the same thing..no time to blog! Me too! It's good to have you back and it sounds like you are in the groove to being a strong woman...way to go and throw out ex's junk. I can't believe he left all that. Well, it's a new life for you and I know you can do what you put your mind too! Don't forget to stop and smell the roses!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! You need a break woman!
ReplyDeleteSpring cleaning purge was the best thing to do.
Dear Karen,
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to hear how rough it's been on you! I'll be praying that you can get some rest now. Sometimes life doesn't go the way we thought it would, does it??
Thanks for stopping by today. Those videos just brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine how hard things must be for them.
I'm so glad the Lord is there for us helping us through the hard times.
Take care.♥
My goodness, my goodness!!! What a time you've had in your computer absence. Did I already say "my goodness".
ReplyDeleteI think you're on your way to becoming 'normal'...oh wait...15 bags of clothes and 3 bags of shoes? Insanity. Okay, maybe not insane for you and me...but for your ex yessiree!

Thanks for stopping by Saturday...hope your weekend has been terrific so far!!
Wow! You have been super busy! Normal is over-rated anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that you are experiencing a little bit of healing. I pray the Lord will continue to mend your wound. He promises to stay close to the brokenhearted, and He always keeps His promises.
I hope you have a great upcoming week!
