Day 33- Moving

Tonight i helped one of my very good friends move and it reminded me of how much i miss moving as strange as it sounds. my parents split in February of '88 when i was in the 5th grade upon mine and my sisters insistence that we and my mother deserved better than what horrible things dad had done to all of us. we first move to my grandparents house until the end of the school year, then we moved to Fairwood, a suburb of Renton,WA built around a country club golf course. needless to say we did not feel like we belonged. about 1/2 way thru the year we moved to Lake Meridian, a suburb of Kent,WA we stayed there for a couple years..... where am i going with this, well we moved 10 times in 7 years.

i got real use to moving and i kinda liked it. i loved the smell of the fresh paint and new carpet. the figuring out how we were going to arrange the furniture with the new floor plan and most of all i loved that feeling of a fresh start. i haven't had that feeling in 4 years. that is the one thing i don't like about owning a home is you cant pick up and move to a new one and in our economy it is hard enough to save up to remodel.

pretty soon we will have to paint or i will have to change the furniture around or i am gonna go nuts! i would love to rip up the carpets, peel the paint off the moldings and re-do the kitchen, but until then i will be happy that i have a home, a warm place to sleep and a place to call home.
