On Aug. 12, 2009, I kicked my ex-husband out of my house. We have be “supposed best friends” for the past 10 years. He has been a constant liar. He wanted his 32 year old girlfriend and still live in the same house with me. No way was this kind of friendship going to continue. So I kicked him to the curb.
On Aug. 13, 2009, I went and picked up my 6 year old godson, Chayton, in my “new” car. I have been wanting to spend time with him since last December 2008. Due to not having a vehicle to use for the past 7 months, I have missed him so much. We spent some quality time together for 5 days. On Aug. 17th, I even took him to the County Fair and let him ride the kiddy rides. As a special treat, we went to the circus at the fair. He had so much fun and really enjoyed himself at his 1st fair and circus. The time went by so fast with Chayton. I sure hated to drive him back home to his aunt’s house, because I knew he and I both would end up crying in the end. He know I am moving. He doesn’t want me to move.
This evening, I brought a bunch of boxes home from the grocery stores. I am really going to have to get serious about moving. I have 3 families interested now in my house. There is drywall repair or new to be put up in the closet of the room that my ex used to stored his train sets and track accessories and his tin collection. The room needs to be repainted. The carpet is a mess. I trusted him too much about his cleanliness in that room.
There is so much to pack, clean out for throwaway, things to be sorted for yard sale. Decisions to be made. My beloved pets as to what to do with them. My two oldest cats are 16 years old and I have had them since their birth.
As to the final date I will be living in my house, I am not sure. What to do with all my belongings till I get settled some place. With my limited income and health issues, I am going to have to really plan my move.
Tomorrow the 1st family will be here at 10 AM to really look at my house. I can only plan one day at a time to keep my sanity, however time is limited too. Seems everyone wants the house yesterday. I will know more after tomorrow.

take it one day at a time, like you say. You could consider taking your items with you (a truck that pulls your car) and consider renting a storage unit. Just remember to try and find one that is completely enclosed. I didn’t last time and some mice got into my stuff. At least your items would be near you incase you need anything.
I know you’ll miss some of the people but you’ll be happy with your daughter.
