Working Girl

I got a job!! Yeah!! I'm so excited!! It was by pure luck that I was able to get a job so quickly. My realtor gave my name to an attorney in Oxford (5 min commute) who needs help while his secretary is on maternity leave. I am starting next week. Ideally, it would be better if I had furniture and all my stuff before I started working, but I can't turn down the opportunity to work and get my name out there when it is practically handed to me as a gift. The paint is still going on the walls. There is a rumor that the majority will be up by Wed. But that's tomorrow, so I am not placing any bets. Its very depressing and frustrating not having your belongings, the things that make your house a home. C'est la vie!

PA Resident?

Not sure if I actually qualify for that title yet. True, I have a PA address (and the mortgage to support it), but I still feel like I am visiting and any day now I have to hit 322 to the Commodore Barry Bridge to get home. We are having the interior of the house painted before we move the furniture in. I am hoping (praying) that we can get the furniture next week. It will make the whole family feel like we are home and not just camping out. Gabbie is not happy with our living situation, she feels left out and stressed. Quinn is a real trooper, but the lack of routine makes her edgy. We are all treading water, looking toward the light at the end of the tunnel that is getting brighter every day!
On a happier note, the girls love their new schools and teacher. Quinn is actually comparing her teacher, Mrs. Heeter to Mrs. Reagan! (for those of you not in the know, Mrs. Reagan was Quinn's First grade teacher who taught her "everything she knows" and was the end source for all queries.) It is a HUGE relief that they are adjusting to school so well!
