Okay, SO I am no longer in Arizona. My belongings have been packed by a moving company and are currently in transport to their destination... any guesses as to the location? (hint- the title of the post isn't just cheesy, its a clue)
Yes! You guessed it, good ol' Kansas... I actually had never even set foot in this state before three days ago, which was after all of my stuff had been packed and I was already destined to live there. My husband and I took a look at our soon to be apartment the other day. I had hoped to move into a house with a yard since I will now be living somewhere where the terrain is capable of inhabiting more than just plain dirt, weeds and prickly cactus. However, we decided we weren't sold on purchasing and maintaining a property here just yet. So I have settled on the idea of a luxury apartment with a balcony garden. So let the plans begin! I am quite excited about growing a small container garden on my new balcony and moving into my much larger 2 bedroom apartment. I'm upgrading from a measly 600 sq ft, 2nd floor, 1bdrm apartment to a 1000 sq ft 3rd floor (top floor) 2 bdrm apartment. Now, since I will be home all day with my little one, it will be much nicer to have some space to move around and not feel like I'm caged in. Plus I get to look forward to setting up my sewing machine and crafting desk as well as starting my small garden.
Currently, however, I am living in a hotel waiting for the movers to get my stuff up here. Living in a hotel would be rather nice, you would think, you get to enjoy lying by the pool, working out in the fitness center, exploring the town and ordering room service! Well, it would be rather nice, IF my infant wasn't so colicky! I can't lay by the pool without him in my arms, he's unwilling to sleep at all during the day without me holding him. He is intolerant of the front carrier so I can't even use the treadmill. And I await the time of day he might actually sit alone long enough for me to shower- but forget the make-up and hair dryer! Room service is nice, but the menu is limited and when you are confined to your room with a screaming child all day it's not all it's cracked up to be. So I guess you could say hotel life isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Oh, the wonders of motherhood...
I love the little moop, but I do wish he was a little easier of an infant. My sister-in-law has a baby who sleeps 9 hours a night and hardly makes a peep all day- whether or not she's being held. Oh, how I envy her! It's just a phase though right? It gets better? I get some freedom someday? Some reassurance please!?
