Recently, I've been constantly reminded that no matter how bad you think things are, they could be worse. It has been a long time since I was consistent in posting on this blog and trust me, it isn't because I didn't enjoy posting! I honestly miss it and cannot wait to get into a routine again! The truth is, I couldn't post.
From August 1st to Oct. 1st we were without a home. On July 3rd around 1am in the morning, my household was awoken to the sound of glass shattering. Someone had thrown rocks through the two huge bay windows in the front of our house. My mother was screaming, glass surrounded her on her bed and the floor on the other side of the house where our dining room is was also covered in glass. A week later we were evicted from our home, the courts gave us 20 days to find a place.
Our luck wasn't so great, we weren't able to find a place in the time allotted, which, wasn't much to begin with considering there were the belongings of nine people to move! We lost a garden full of vegetables and many irreplaceable items, why? Because our landlord thought because someone vandalized the house, we must be horrible people! I'm not sure how logical that is, he never had a problem with us up until this point and I was saddened by the whole thing.
Oct. 1st we finally found a house and were able to begin moving everything we had left, which wasn't much. We lost a lot of clothing, blankets, towels, books, dressers and more but we're thankful to still be together. Now we are working to replace the things we can and get ready for next years gardening season. The babies are happy with the new place and so am I. It's in the country with no neighbors for miles and plenty of room for the kids and dogs to play!
here's to a better year in 2012!
