wherever he laid his hat was his home

So last night i spoke with my mom.

I will be moving out in May 2011 into the house that she owns. My mom would be my tenant and i came into work today ready to buckle down because i all of a sudden have something big to work for. Something Tangible. I lived in this house for about a year when i was 10 and i know its a really nice place.

Its a HOUSE like 2 stories, a basement, washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, new fridge and stove, backyard a GARAGE!!!! omg i almost forgot about the garage!!!!
I have already considered what is to be done with the kitchen cabinets and the living room and OMG it has 3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms o jeez im too excited! ive wanted my own place for so long!!!! i cant believe it 1 year... 1 more christmas... 1 more new years... one more winter then ill be in!! in fact come to think of it this will be my last summer at my parents house!!! o that just puts things in perspective for me.

I guess i just had enough of the constant move from one house to the other. My parents are divorced. now this happened YEARS ago but that means that for years now.. actually for exactly 18 years i have been moving from my dads house to my moms house each week. Lugging bags around with me between both places.. constantly packing with no reason to unpack because by the time the end of the week comes i need to pack up and get on my way again. its frustrating. you find yourself missing clothes, loosing valuables on the way.

ill be at my dads and realize i forgot my good shoes at my moms so for work that day ill have to borrow my sisters. or ill be at my moms and realize i left all my makeup at my dads so ill have to go out that night with the girls wearing no make-up. thank god my mom blessed me with her genetics and make-up isnt absolutly required, but id still like to not have to remember every little thing!!!

So imagine how amazing it is going to feel to organize all of MY stuff in MY bathroom and bedroom. ONE bedroom!! ill never have to concern myself with bags ever again!! i can live out of cabinets and closets like normal people!! if i am looking frantically for that perfect dress for that night out ill actually know that it is in my house! i will know that i didnt forget it at some other house!! i can come to the same place every day after work. i dont have to concern myself with how many days ive stayed at my moms VS how many days ive stayed at my dads. or worry that one parent feels neglected so maybe i should stay home on a friday night and watch TV with them just in case. NOPE!!

good bye knapsake! good bye makeup bag!! good by empty closets and unused nightstands!! good bye living like a bloody nomad!!!

HELLO HOME!!!!
