Stressed Out

Aug 01, 2006 07:48

I'm beyond stressed out now. There isn't even words to describe where I am at. And as stressed out as I was last summer, my family helped. This year they are the cause of it all.

Two weeks ago while my parents were on vacation and I was alone I planned this move. I decided what truck I needed, what apartment complex I wanted, what apartment I wanted, what furniture I wanted, etc. Every possible decision about this move was made two weeks ago.

Now for some reason every decision is being unmade and remade about 600 times. My mom said I couldn't afford to live in the apartment I picked. Then Three Rivers was too far away. Then once we got out west, my mom realized Dowagiac had dirty, scary apartments. Upon seeing the two bedroom in Three Rivers I wanted, she decided I could afford it and it was nice.

My dad said I didn't need a Uhaul. I could just use his pickup truck. When I said My storage unit and apartment are over 100 miles from each other, he said I could just get a big van. After reminding him that when we moved me into the storage unit he said I needed a Uhaul, he seemed to come around to the idea. He now is saying my 14 foot Uhaul (designed for a 1-2 bedroom apartment) is too small and I should get a 17 foot.

My sister, who I thought would be my saving grace on this move, helping to calm both me and my parents, is doing neither. She offered to help move me, but can't leave Caden too early and has to be back to him. Find I can understand that. She wants to get me a gift for my first apartment. She suggested a vacuum cleaner. I said I already paid  over $150 for a vacuum. She said she would buy me a tv. Now I don't need a gift from my sister for an apartment but if she is willing it would save me some hassle. But now she decided everything is too expensive and won't. Why did you even mention it in the first place then?

My brother who has been lying low on this whole issue, just called to ask if his services are needed. When I explained how stressed out he was, instead of saying, well it will work out, he said "Did you ever think to not include Mom and Dad in this?" Well Greg, because your wife won't let spend more than 3 hours moving me 3 hours away, I really can't turn down the help from Mom and Dad, or else it would be JUST ME.

And when I say I'm stressed out, can't sleep and feel like I'm want to throw up all the time, My mom keeps telling me "Well the two most stressful things in life are moving and starting a new job." Well Mom, you are not making it any easier with your constant redecision making.
