and not sure when I'll be able to get back online. We've had trouble with our house since we moved in and have been dealing back and forth with the owner and housing agency trying to see if we could come to a reasonable resolution. So far it's proved to be a disappointing process. Then today I realized that the storage space in our closet (different kind of closets over here with a separate mini-closet over your actual closet) is leaking and much of my stuff is water damaged and moldy. Not expensive stuff per se but more sentimental things including the only thing I had left from my grandmother (a beautiful handmade and embroidered pillow she made for me before she left to Mexico when I was about 8 and last saw her, may she be at peace). Really, as bad as it is, the timing is worse because of my husband's schedule right now (85 hrs a week, at least, for the past month and still for the next two weeks). I'm certain we'll be moving out of here and with all the things that have to be done now (including cramming all our stuff into 1 bedroom and another tiny room and trying to salvage what we may) I have no idea when I'll have a chance to get back on-line. I shouldn't even be here now because the house is literally a mess and I have to get back to work. I'm pretty sad right now and definitely still shocked. I'm really sorry that I won't be here for a while. My email is still available and as soon as I get a chance to get back on here (mostly like after we move and get our internet reconnected) I'll do my best to catch up. Much love to you all and thank you in advance for your understanding.  IP: Logged |

dear Eleanore ~sending blessings and love to you and your family. keeping your focus on a young babe is enough to fill your heart and hands at once....without the added difficulties you mention.  something i found in a Doreen Virtue book once has often helped it troubling times, esp when i feel a sense of loss. it doesn't have to be a literal loss...as in the sadness you feel at your valued possessions being damaged. she wrote, if you will repeat with your heart and mind, several times, the following words, healing and miracles are close behind. they are, "Nothing is lost in the mind of God" (or Goddess). magic words, i've found. may peace be with you and baby Mathias.....faith and love in the sisterhood.  love, zanya IP: Logged |

Oh Eleanor. I know what it's like to lose everything from mold. That's why we ended up moving into our new home.I'm sorry to hear that this has happened, and you're right, it is the sentimental things that are the hardest to let go of. Take care, and stay healthy!
Hugs,

I'm back! Finally moved into a new place and got the internet connected today. It'll take me a while to get up to date with this site. Thanks for being a patient bunch and I hope nothing hit the fan in here while I was away.  Hope everyone is doing well!IP: Logged |
