Don't Panic!

It's been about 36 hours since we learned we would soon be home owners. I am trying to keep the upper hand over my emotions, but there is an underlying sense of panic I can't totally ignore. I don't sopose I'll ever be 100% ready to leave the Golden State.



I decided to break the news to my "comadre" today. I really hated doing it by e-mail, but our schedules are so conflicting, I knew it'd be hard to catch her during the "right" moment on the phone. It totally broke my heart to read her response. I know it caught her off guard, and I am deeply touched to know that she will truly miss us. We have been friends for about 17 years now. I baptized her first-born 14 years ago, her second-born adopted me as her unoficial god-mother. We have grown up together and witnessed each other's troubles & triumphs. We rarely see each other these days, but through postings on Facebook & Myspace, we are in touch regularly. Somehow, it still really hurts to know we will be so far away soon.

About Me

My photo
I am a 30-something year old mother of three. My eldest is about to complete his first year of school...Kindergarten! I thought that was going to be the most difficult challenge this year. I was wrong. I am also mom to Two in Diapers (hence the name of this blog). Balancing life is a struggle, and most often, I have had to put many of my passions on hold. My husband is an angel, and if it weren't for him (he being who he is), I don't know how I would survive. Little by little, I am trying to put everything back in order. The last 24 months have been very rocky. It started with my baby sister being diagnosed with cancer, shortly followed by my father's death. Over the months, we have been slammed time after time by devastating news, but we are surviving as a family. I hope you will join me as I try to piece the story together, both past and present.
