Apparently, I have ceased to exist...

So, according to my last post, if I am not writing, then I am not. So, it lends to reason that, as I have ceased writing for the moment, I momentarily have ceased to exist (I wish someone would tell that to all of the chores and laundry piles).  I know all one of you reading this blog (ok, that one is actually me, but that's ok, online journals are nice too) are wondering why I've suddenly stopped posting - because I had such a great track record going there for a bit, right?  Well, basically, my hobby-side of life has come to a screeching halt because we have decided to move across the country so my Hub can pursue his masters.  While my Hub searches for the perfect job, I'm focusing on trying to sell our house, find another house and figure out what to do with the dog in between house showings and the eventual move. Of course, I am still day-to-daying as a very fortunate stay-at-home mom to lovely children who do not always understand that when someone comes to walk through the house with the intention to buy, they do not want to see all of their toys strewn about each level. Also, because the house must be in beautiful, showable order every single moment of every single day, now is not the time to start projects that usually require messes.

August is the end date, however.  We must be in Virginia by August so that we can have in-state tuition by August 2013. Also, my bigG needs to start school.  So, there is an end in sight.  Until then, I will continue ceasing to exist. But, do not despair. I have recently been inducted into Pinterest (I know, many of you have been on for, like, forever, and I'm just a fad-follower, but I'm OK with that) and have been pinning projects like mad!  Once August/September hits, I plan on crafting and building and sewing with a vengeance and I pledge to document every bit of it for all of you (again, I know, online journalling for myself).

So, until August, everyone... If you think you'll forget to come back and check in on me by then (and by you, I mean me), you are welcome to "follow" me - cuz' that would be cool, and I would love it, but you know, no pressure. And if any of you have tips or hints about how to move a home, a family and a dog across the country without completely losing one's mind, I would really appreciate your insight!

Wish Me Luck!
