A New Start

I've moved back in with my parents. After 10 years of being on my own, I'm now sleeping in my childhood room, with all of my belongings lost in storage rooms. I can't wait until my house is ready to move in. Yes, I do enjoy some of the perks of living with my parents (mainly, no rent), but it is so tough to live with people after you've lived on your own for so long. I'm having a tough time with it. I'm sure it will get better...or I'll move into a tent on the football field?? It is amazing how quickly you revert back to the roles of parents and child. I don't like it one bit. I may go crazy if I have to pick up after them one more time...

Anyway, I'm renting a house from my grandma. Or, rather, I will be when it is finished being remodeled. It was built in 1923 and hadn't been updated since. It has come a long way. I'm constantly told by the carpenter/contractor/gossip man that it will be finished soon. I wonder what soon means to him? They have been working on this since about May.

I'm working/finishing several projects, but I just haven't had the desire to post pictures. I think I'll wait until I'm finally all moved in, and then show before and after pics.

In other news, after having the summer off (as a teacher) I'm forced to return to the classroom on Monday. I feel as if I need to be asleep by 8:30 each evening, regardless of whether or not the sun is still up, just to make it through the day. It will really be a change from my previous school, and I'm really hoping that it is a good change. I'll keep you posted.
