Too many changes....

As always, life is hectic, but this week there are too many changes. Maybe if I write them down, I'll feel better and more in control. This afternoon we showed the house to some friends from Vegas who are interested in renting it. I'm also making preparations physically, mentally and emotionally to send Ellie to her new home. (We meet her new mommy in Beaver tomorrow.) I'm preparing mentally for the funeral on Tuesday. (I'm worried about managing the kids during it in general and I'm uncomfortable with tears and goodbye's. Uh Oh) DJ and I are preparing to start our 2 month separation. He leaves Monday morning. This week I closed on my new mortgage for my house. (That is a miracle in itself, if you haven't heard, ask and I will tell.) I cleaned and decluttered my entire house. I spent many hours at the hospital and played with my younger cousins while their mothers told their sister goodbye. I found new piano teachers for my students. I'm going to start packing next week. (Even though I've been saying that for a couple of weeks now) My kids were extra whiney this week too, probably because of the extra stress and the fact that I didn't play with them much. See above list of all the other things that consumed my brain and time.
