Moving. Part II

The Moving saga continues.

So, yesterday, I got a call from the nice lady who I spoke with on Tuesday.  She called to let me know that everything is looking really good and that I just needed to sign an affidavit to verify my child support and she would fax it to me today.  She said, that all my other income checked out fine though and that she'd keep me posted.

Last night, I couldn't sleep.  I tossed and turned and eventually gave in to staying up.  When I finally decided to close my laptop, the last time I read was 4:58am.  I knew I was doomed for the day.  I hooked up my cell phone to the charger, being sure to keep the ringer on high so as to not miss her call when and if she called in the morning.

I fell asleep without wearing my stupid Cpap mask and was woken up by my own snores.  (pathetic and annoying)  As I went to roll over from my side to change positions, I immediately realized I hadn't moved from the position I fell asleep in and my right knee felt as though I broke it.  It immediately made my eyes open as the pain was incredible and not subsiding.   I decided to see what time it was and reached for my cell.

As I clicked the screen to turn on, nothing happened. I clicked it again, and nothing.  The damn phone had not been charging all night, despite me plugging it in, but why?  I sat up and howled out in pain forgetting that my knee was hurting, grabbed my glasses and threw them on.   Now angry, annoyed and in pain I reached down for the cord and found it not plugged in.   I sighed and feared I'd missed the call for sure. 

It's not like she couldn't or wouldn't call me back.  It's not that I couldn't call her back if she had called me and I didn't get the call.  It's just, I'm a spaz and want this nightmare over.  I want to know like NOW did I get the place or what.  So anything I can do to make this happen faster I'm going to do.   I quickly plug in my cell and see it light up.  It does it's little sign on thing and as my home screen loads, I see that it's only 8:30am.  Chances are she did not all yet.  Vey relieved, I decided to check my email. I grab my laptop and open it up.

Well, no email is good email I guess.  So I sit and try to wake up.  I sneezed and woke up Aiden who wakes up like someone shook him and says in an outdoor voice, "Hi mom.... umm I'm hungry".   Jesus, it's only 8:30am and you've JUST woken up like 2 seconds ago, give me a break!  Oh sorry, he says.  At that point, I realize I have an insane migraine and begin getting nauseous. Unable to help myself, I close my laptop, throw my cell  and my glasses haphazardly on the night stand and plop my head back down on the pillow. 

I immediately fell back to sleep for what seemed like 5 minutes when I little icy cold hands on my arm shaking me. It was Aiden, saying Mom... get up, get up mom you're phone is ringing!  Resisting the movement I try to ignore it and fall back to sleep.  I hadn't heard the end part of what he said, and only assumed he still wanted breakfast.  I began shooing him away with my hand when I heard a faint sound of music playing.  Realizing it was my cell I opened my eyes, and rolled over to get the cell.

I knocked the cell on the floor, which in the process had hit the ignore button.  As I pick up the cell, and roll my eyes, I'm both annoyed and relieved to find it was just a sales call.  I decide I should just stay up and checked the time.  It was 10:00!! I was in shock. 

Sitting up quickly, I was happy to see my headache had subsided some.  I decided to check my mail and get the kids started on school straight away.  However I saw that Ethan was already doing his school work, and Aiden was... well waiting for me.

No new emails, so I started to make breakfast first and then began schooling Aiden.  Half way through I got an email from the nice lady.  She sent me the affidavit and asked me to fill it out and send it back, which I promptly did.  She then informed me that all my landlord references came back fine and at this point I about fainted. 
This meant that the only thing I was waiting for was the criminal report.  And so I decided to be sure I wrote her and asked what else I was waiting on.  She said the report and also she had to hand all my info to her boss for the final decision but that it looked excellent. 

Now, while Mom celebrated this great news, exclaiming how I'm moving!!  I smiled and breathed a HUGE sigh of relief.   And, I feel confident about the rest of the process. However, as much as I want to celebrate I need that last 1/8 of a percent to be complete.   But, now the boys both know we're moving on the 1st of May.   Which is fine.  I'm pretty sure we will.   Just a waiting game that's all.

So... yes.. it's been a good day. Long, a bit stressful, but good, .....yeah good.
