making our place a home
Bear and I have been living in this place for the last month, well close to a month, and we are NO where near done unpacking and setting up the house. It is really overwhelming at times. I haven't gotten a real day off to do anything and when I have a day off to unpack none of my stuff is here. It is still at my dad's house and I have promised Bear I will not go through his things and unpack them. He wants to do it himself because he knows where he wants it to go. Which is really fine by me.
Yesterday Bear and I decided that we were going to have lunch with his best friend Chris and my friend Kim from high school. We had a really nice time together. Kim brought her 9 month old son Kyle and 4 year old niece Kaylay with her. It was really relaxing and a lot of fun to catch up on our old friends.
Talking to Kim made me miss my mom a lot. I really shouldn't miss her and yet a part of me does. Yesterday Bear promised me we could get a fish tank today he went back on that. Which would have been fine but he took me to the fish store walked me through it let me look at the fish I wanted before taking back his promise. He couldn't understand why i was so upset. Why I cried. I cried because every house (except for Patiance) I have had a fish tank. Every house was made homey by those fish tanks. Its what our family does.
I just want this overwhelming mess to feel like a home already! I want to come home from work and not unpack boxes until I pass out each night from exhaustion. I just want Bear to feel like he has a home because like he told me before he hasn't had a real place to call home since he was 10.
Tomorrow we are going to Church with his Uncle then taking him to lunch, my plans after that is to come home and atleast finish the living room and get some laundry done for the week. Along with making lunches for the week.
