Costa Rica Update #2
An update, an update.
Forcing myself to write an update to document this crazy process.
Selling everything we own did me in so right now all I am working on is: selling some things on EBay & KSL, working on talking to five different embassies to figure out how to get the dogs through, and I have to go get my passport re-done because I forgot it got scratched by one of the kids on our last trip. Tyler has so much work on the business end that the poor guy is completely over worked right now.
But mainly right now I am resting, trying to get ahold of my attitude. The stress of the moving sale, our trip, dance recitals, Tyler being sick, Abby’s surgery, being in my third trimester, and a few other small things. Have me just in a funk.
What keeps me going on is looking at the big picture of why we are doing all of this. To be together as a family more, to simplify, to have an adventure, to have my husband not be working himself sick, to learn, to grow, to figure out what kind of life we want one day.
This is why, this is worth it, I know this and I don’t have to “convince” myself of it. I believe it, I just have to repeat it during this stage of the move.
Not to mention, I always forget how hard this last stage of pregnancy is. And with it being my fourth, it sure feels different, this body is getting old and worn out.
What do you do to help yourself out of a bit of a funk? I think I need some ideas….112 days till the girls and I are gone.
You know what I do–shopping, Diet Coke and junk food. Not good for the belly or the budget!
Also, I’m seriously looking at flights to Costa Rica. Which airport do I want?
Not everything we are suppose to do is always easy, I tell myself this all of the time.
It is going to be great to have a more simple life after all this crazy you have had.
Take a break. Get away from it all. Get a hotel for a night and check in early. that way you are not trying to take it easy while looking around and stressing about all that you have to do. Only 1 day & 1 night… everything will wait for you. The move is about family time so take an actual family time out to connect with how great it will be. Make sure and get a place with a great pool to take some weight and pressure off of those feet & that belly. Our kids love hotels, it has been hard to get them to leave the hotel for the actual attraction.
