Alright buddies…I need some tissue!!
Okay it’s bright and early Friday morning 4:33 a.m. to be exact. Hubby left for work he is working a double today! My husband starts in Houston, TX on Monday, March 31, 2008. I thought we would have the rest of the month together but he has to fly back and forth to Houston, TX looking for a place to live? Anyone here from Houston? Anyway I called the realtor who helped us when we were there looking for a house and she referred us to the realtor who listed our home. So hopefully something will come up.
I cried all last night…first I get home and there are like 5 cars in my driveway (the realtor was showing the house) and I call my husband and say babe we still live here they have to call so I will know not to be home. So Marquis Dupree and I sat in the car for almost 25 minutes while they looked at the house! I guess it’s great we’ve had so many people look already and it’s not even officially up! We just had the sign up for one day and have already had 10 families look at it! so I should be grateful…I guess!
I went to get an application for an apartment complex directly around the corner from my home. My husband would rather just buy a home in TEXAS; I wanted to buy a townhome here and he said it’s just not worth it! Ok….anyway just real sad it seems as if he is leavin at the worse possible time.
I don’t want people looking at the house past 6:00 p.m. and he’s not here it’s just so frustrating! It’s like I have to deal with this all by myself at least Marquis Dupree will be with me. I am glad about that…go figure here I was trying to get rid of the kid now I’m glad he’s staying here with me!!!
Anyway I ate some steamed broccoli and shrimp showered and went to bed…couldn’t even exercise! Not getting depressed but now that there is a date…it’s really hitting me that he is leaving and I won’t see him that much this month because he’ll be back and forth to Houston, TX oh well…not much to do about that!
Anyway buddies excuse me while I get some tissues….I told you it was going to be rough, I tried to act like I didn’t care and put up a front but who am I kidding it’s my husband. Anyway thank you guys so much…what would I do without you guys!!!!!
Let’s look on the bright side…I still have Billy Blanks…so off I go to exercise twice as hard this morning to make up for last night! Have a great day!

you just hang in there buddy. God is in control. it’s a total praise that your house is showing that much, seeing as how bad the market is right now. texas isn’t so bad. at least it’s warmer =) my favorite bible study author lives in houston- beth moore. have you ever heard of her? anyhow, hang in there with billy. you put all of that energy into your workouts and get it out. you’ve been such a great friend to me. i will be here for you and know that you’re in my prayers. ps definitely lay down some ground rules for the realtor.
Angela,I am so sorry you are going thru a rough time. I know how hard it must be to prepare for your husband to have to leave and having to sell your house. That would definetly be a tough one for me. But I know you will be ok. You are such a strong woman! When will you be moving to Texas? I am so glad that Marquis is with you. Good luck on selling your house. That is awesome that you have had so many people already looking at it. But too I would give the realtors some rules. :0) We are here for you girl!! ((((HUGS TO YOU ANGELA)))) You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
HUGS from AUSTIN!!! He wanted you to talk today when he saw your note. He sends you a hug and some tissue. Plus, yes, check with that realtor about some GROUNDRULES! You shouldn’t have to sit in the car. Sorry hubby is really going. Waah. We’ll be here for you!!!!
ps I know Brenda lives in Houston
Moving rates pretty high on the life stressor charts so don’t be too hard on yourself for having a hard time. Do tell your realtor your expectations, especially of knowing if they’re showing the house! That is just rude.
Your house in PA will well in God’s time and even though that is often a difficult timetable for us mortals to accept, it does work out in the end. When we moved to Ohio we still owned a home in upstate NY. I think that God didn’t allow it to sell quickly because if it had, we would have bought a house on the north side of Dayton. 8 months after moving to Ohio, my husband took a job with GE in Cincinnati. That is when our house in NY sold. Seemed to me there was some divine intervention in the timing of the sale. God knew that I’d never be able to deal with a husband having a 2-3 hour daily commute, a toddler and an infant while trying to sell a house in a market that had already taken a nose dive.
Sorry girl, sounds liek a rough night, but at least you are still staying focused!! You are definitly an inspiration!!!
I know this is a tough time for you Angela, but you WILL get through it, and it WILL all work out. You have MD there with you, so that’s a plus. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so just think how wonderful it will be when you two have a home together again in Texas! In the meantime, you can flirt with him via internet, texting, cards and love letters in the mail, renew that passion, just like you were a teenager with your first love again.
Now I just LOVVVVVVVVE shrimp. It is my fave food in the whole wide world… grilled shrimp, boiled shrimp, shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, bubba gump shrimp…
Now that your tears have washed your soul, the rainbow today will surely be at your doorstep, so look for it, smile when you see it, and thank God for your husband, for bringing MD into your life, for having a house to actually sell, and for a good realtor.
Big huggggggggggs and have a wonderful weekend my friend,
Shan
Your blog just makes me feel sad all over. I’m sorry its so rough for you right now, but like Shanna said, ‘absense makes the heart grow fonder” your time together will be much more special when you see each other. and its only temporary. But I still feel bad…words can’t really take away the sadness you are feeling, but one thing is for sure…WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!! you are so loved and shouldnt feel alone. Thank goodness for little man MD..isn’t it amazing how God put him with you!!! Big big hugs for you!!
Hang in there. You will figure things out and everything will work out. It may not seem it now, but it will.
Oh sweetheart, I am so sorry I have been neglecting you! Keep your chin up, things will get easier. It’s a good sign like you said. Don’t let all of this stress knock you down, you are a wonderful woman…you can do this! HUGS
Angela, you will get even closer to MD as time goes by…
I guess it’s hard for us, strong independent women, to realize how important family is for us. How we really love and miss our husbands. Shocking, right?
Hang in there…. it’s just a temporary bump in your life-time journey with your husband.
Hang in there Angela…We are all here for you. Sending you {{{HUGSS}}} from Michigan…It will all work out..
Oh, Angela, we are here for you! Lots of hugs going out to you. Prayers too. As my grandmother used to say “this too shall pass” Love you!
We Texans keep you on the prayer list. When I moved here from Michigan, my husband couldnt get transfered for a year. It was hard, but God is Good. Stay focused, you have got to win the Kmart Contest!
Angela, I am really sorry to hear you’re having a rough time…I will be there with you in a few months, when I leave California…the place I call home! Hang in there, I know it’s tough…when do you think you will meet DH in Texas?
