I'm moving here from Newcomers because I don't think I have much to offer the folks over there anymore.

Basically I'm in a holding pattern. Waiting for the settlement agreement to be signed. Waiting for the house to sell. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

My boys had friends over last night to sleep over which was pretty fun. Four boys can create a LOT of noise. It was pretty cute. But people who aren't really close to me don't necessarily know all the drama that's been going on in our family, and S9's friend's family is particularly clueless. So his friend asked "Why are you moving?" and I saw S9 struggle to figure out how to answer it. He came up with "Because we don't have enough money to stay here." That was an OK answer, except that his friend is from a very wealthy, very snobby family. I don't know how that will play out. And I felt badly for him -- it's the first time I've seen that any of my kids have had to explain the fallout of their dad's departure to friends.

It's been a rough couple of weeks and I'm TIRED.

We had a showing this morning about an hour after the boys all left and the couple stayed two hours, so that's hopeful. I have a mortgage packet waiting for me. My boss is NOT helpful and I could potentially lose my job (for sure I'm going to be going without pay at some point in the next two months) but it's just another thing I can't control so I'm trying really hard not to worry about it.

That's about it. It's not much of an update. But here I am.
