Why did I put quotations around "home"? Because I'm not sure where that is these days. Don't get me wrong, I know where I live, it just isn't "feeling" like home yet. It did for a few days in September when life was not total chaos. But, I've been spending at every day (except one, maybe two) at our old house trying to get it ready to list. My friends would tell you there was nothing that really needed to be done and we should've just listed it, but my perfectionist tendencies were not going to let that happen! As we've been emptying the attic, basement, and garage of the old house it has been dumped again into our living room, and I do not enjoy that...not one bit. I feel as though we are, yet again, living in total clutter and I don't like it one bit.
The fact that I am spending so much time at our old house isn't helping the new house (or town) feel like home either. I want to be comfortable (and comforted) by being here in our new house, but it just isn't there yet. I know that we are going to get there, but I while I was dead on on how hard some things emotionally would be, I completely underestimated other things.
The good news is that we are signing the paperwork this evening to list our house. By Friday morning, the realtor should be able to show it and I'll be able to stop running back and forth. In fact, I get to spend the day here in the new place, although we'll be back this evening, and probably two trips tomorrow. At the same time, cross country has also ended so our weekends are much less scheduled, and hopefully I'll be able to focus on making this house our "home"!
