So when a mother is getting ready for a new child whether it be through adoption or birth, we tend to nest. We paint the walls, then re-paint them (we decided the color was just too green), then we put together furniture (those that have men have them do this, some of us not so lucky) we hang up pictures, put "Good Night Moon" on the bed side table, then we wait and wait and wait.
I did this when Isaac came home. His room was ready and waiting. It gave me something to do while I waited. Well I seem to be doing it again, or not doing it. I'm not sure what I'm doing. Isaac and I are moving back to the East Coast at the end of June (60 days away). I find myself at home without a whole lot to do, while I look for work to tie me over while I wait for Isaac to finish the first grade.
So... I have begun to pack! I have taken apart all my book cases, and begun to pack all the things we don't use on a regular basis. It gives me something to do and allows me to pass the time. So am I nesting (for the big move) or am I the Anti-Nester???
Over the last few weeks my life has been flipped upside down. The decision to move back home was a really hard one to make, I think my relationship has ended, and my lack of work has made the days begin to "speed" past me like a turtle in the desert (June 29th can't come soon enough).
So let's take a vote... am I nesting to deal with a broken heart and a major life change... or am I the Anti-Nester....

Nesting!! Wishing you guys the best of luck!!
you're just doing what has to be done to survive the upheaval...not sure it has a name. so praying for you and what's ahead.
that's the cutest picture I've seen since Wizard of Oz...
Hi just found your blog through another's and wanted to say GOOD LUCK with your move. I've moved several times around the country and do it with nothing set up and beyond a knowledge that's it right and a hope it all works out. and thus far it has. and since I"m originally from Philly I felt a connection...I'm jealous of you moving back...I plan to move east (though closer to the ocean hopefully) in the next several years...anyway, again, good luck.
I "bumped" in to your blog quite by accident many moons ago. It has been a blessing to me. You are strong stuff! I wish you and Issac God Speed. May the wind always be at your back.
