The Process

It’s not so much about the results, as it is in the process of getting there.

I am learning this, as I am navigating through many opportunities in my life at the present moment.

The kids and I have been staying at Grandma & Papa’s for over 2 months now, since our house is still in the process of repair.

The countertops have encountered many obstacles, with unlevel flooring, additional support needed underneath, leveling of cabinets, and additional reviews, images and opinions of both experts and non-experts.

The downstairs ended up needing a closet built, to create additional support underneath the bar area for the kitchen. The girls bedroom ended up needing to be re-done from sheetrock, mudding, and painting.

The garage doors ended up needing to be replaced, so they are now functional.

The circuit breakers ended up having a short somewhere, which was determined to be coming from my bedroom. Then, this initiated all new electrical outlets, light switches, and conversion to LED lights throughout the entire house.

Each of these things, caused additional delays into moving back home.

Hoping for the end of next week.

I do plan on having a cleaning party, and everyone is welcome to join the fun.

In the midst of all of this chaos happening, we are going through a lot of emotional battles with the kids.

I have 3 of the 4 in therapy, and my youngest one now shows signs of needing some as well.

Nothing is wrong with counseling. Mental health is super important, especially with everything going on.

It’s just finding the time between work, school, gym time, family time, and down time.

Time is just a thing, right?

We are making it happen, and thank goodness for a super supportive company that I have been part of for over 15 years.

Hanging on for dear life, but with the support of family and co-workers along the way, makes such a difference.
