My husband has gone to New Orleans to start his new job... and Steffie and I are still here in Georgia.... my task is a huge one.... to pack up our lives with no certainty of when or where we will go... all I do know is that we will move somewhere in the next 2 - 3 months. It may be a new home here in this area... it may be a new home in New Orleans.... it may be a storage building for our belongings and a van to sleep in for us....
So right about now things are not so great... I'm sad and alone... angry and confused... and I could really use a support system of friends and family... neither of which is available to me.... but I will survive.... I will get through this just like I have gotten through tough situations before.....
And after all... I have a huge amount of packing to finish to keep my mind busy.... 10 years in one place means a lot of accumulated stuff to sort through and pack or get rid of.... and I've only just begun... my bathroom and bedroom are done.... 6 rooms to go.....
A Lil Enchanted,

oh sweetie, i so know what you are going through, and i'm offering my virtual support. sure wish i could do more. i can send you tons and tons of positive energy, maybe you will be able to feel it. :)
remember when i packed up and headed to california? you were here then weren't you? i have done this a few times and it will probably happen again, but we make it through. somehow the universe has a way of making sure we are all right. i tend to focus on the negative at first, but then i remember that whatever happens is some reason. and i try to focus on the positive of the situation. a fresh start, a chance to go through the many many things that have been sitting untouched for so long. and what a great time for new beginnings, springtime!
so keep your chin up my friend and if you ever need to chat, get ahold of me. i'm usually on fb every day. much love to you la shan!

I am a little confused. I thought you were moving to New Orleans for sure - what do you mean another home there or a van?
What is going on? And I'll be saying some prayers for you.

I wish I was closer...
(((hugs)))
I'm sorry things are so tough. I really hope things turn out well. I sort of know what you're going through. Only I was single and had no kids when I was going through the uncertainty of where I would lay my head the next night. Having a family raises it quite a few notches.
Do you twitter? I have some good blogging buddies, who are great supports. They are not family, and although I do not know them in person, they are great friends. A great support system when I am feeling down and need someone to listen, or to say something to cheer me up.
If you're interested, just let me know, and I'll point you in the right direction. Give you an introduction, even.
Well it sounds like things have begun to happen. I hope your husband gets the job. Just keep packing and remember things work out in the end. I am sending some positive energy your way.
I love you honey. The separation from you has already been unimaginably hard for me to endure...I can't begin to imagine the degree of isolation you feel right now. I am soberly aware that my choices and work circumstances have led to this terrible situation-and I grieve that I am causing you this pain. I am confident we will prevail and that the outcome will be positive. I am making my own luck here through hard work...sometimes in life you gotta smile at the devil and laugh at the stars...and just do a system reboot...and just like a computer...usually everything is OK once it comes back up.
I was in your shoes four years ago, so I know how difficult it can be. We did the living out of the car thing for several months, and I think it only made our marriage stronger. I am just thankful that it was only my DH and I though, I hope Steffie does alright with the move!
I have been thinking of you lately and wondering about your move. I hope things turn out the way you want them to be. I know your husband will probably read this and I don't want to offend anyone but I don't think husbands in general realize how hard it is on some women to move. Just moving across town 10 minutes away was hard on me. When my mom moved from CA to NC it was very very hard on her. Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.!! I am thinking of you!!
