House Tetris

You know how in Tetris you start off doing really well, enjoying the game and getting rid of those little lines one by one and quickly advancing to the next level? Then, at the next level, the tetri (plural?) start coming faster and faster and you have those long, skinny pieces that go anywhere less and less? Things start piling up. The space between the pieced tetri and where they drop becomes much smaller. Now the shapes are coming way too fast - crunch crunch crunch - they begin to slam into each other before you can get them placed. Then - GAME OVER . I think that's about where I am right now. Close to game over...

It's been a tough week at home (old house) this week. The process of moving and selling the house has had a few train wrecks. Add to all of that coordinating renovation, selling furniture, cutting pastures, moving horses, packing things up, saying goodbye, working this job and that job, day to day life stuff...... and we are a little worn out at the end of the day. I've been feeling guilty about been tried and short tempered when SO MANY that I know have it much more difficult than I do, but it is what it is.
I am very grateful for the new adventure and excited to see what life is like on a small farm, but I forget about that when I am frustrated. Forgive me if I've hurt your feelings or seemed distant. I am hoping to be a better friend and/or relative soon.
I almost reached the breaking point last night. I told Sam that I was overwhelmed and felt I had no one to help me... even he couldn't because he is so busy (and rightfully so). He gently reminded me that I haven't asked anyone for help (SO hard to do and quite humbling). So, here's my cry for help:

HELP!

I need it in the form of packing, cleaning and reassuring, mostly. The barn needs to be cleaned and ready for my sweet ponies, the pasture needs to be cut, the farm house needs to be cleaned, what the heck am I going to do with that kitchen and so on and so on. Most of these things are projects that I need to be working on, but I need buddies to come hang out and keep me focused and motivated while I pack and clean and plan. I need someone to bounce ideas off of. I need a friend!
It would most likely just be an hour here or there. It's hard to ask because it is something I know no one wants to spend time doing. I'm also afraid that no one will want to help. Plus, three out of my four readers live out of state... and the other reader is my husband. :o) I guess what you could do for me is pray that God will send me some friends to help. or give me superhuman powers for a few days!
On a happy note (a much needed happy note!), we have some new floors and they look GREAT!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY FLOORS! YAY YAY YAY floors!!!!!!!!!!



These are the two guest rooms - don't you like the floors?! I do! Both rooms look similar because they have the same paint color, but they are DONE!
I'm so excited! They are beginning on the tile for the living area tomorrow! :o) Hooray!
