Pupil free day

No school tomorrow 

I'm at a little bit of a loss. Tomorrow is a pupil free day, so I have my six year old daughter, Immy, home from school all day. It looks like it's going to be another rainy day tomorrow and I'm not feeling up to getting out and about in the rain.

Since we are living in an airbnb at the moment I am without my supplies. No sewing, baking or crafting supplies. It was all packed up back in August when we thought we were moving into our new home on the 14th. I cannot believe that it has been over two months since our moving date came and went. We were unable to move in because the fridge leaked, ruining the wooden floors. This happened one week before we received the keys, the previous owner brought in a drying company on the Monday and we didn't hear about it until we got the bill on the Thursday. The decision by the previous owner to bring in a drying company instead of a builder to replace the floors left us without a home and stuck. I'm hoping the insurance company will finally bring in the builder to replace the floors this week. It's going to be another eight weeks from the day that they start. 

Man this entry is just making me sad. It's been a really rough two months, getting so close to moving into our new home only to have it slip out of our grasp at the last minute has taken its toll on me. Body and soul. 

I'm hoping that in October 2018 I will be looking back at this entry from our new home. The second half of 2017 far off in the rearview mirror. 

I dream of our new home. We're moving to an apartment in a experiment I'm calling "raising kids: do they REALLY need a house?" 

Let's see shall we?
