mommy for the week[s]

I feel like I'm in a concentration camp,
ok--that may be a terrible comparison, but either way-- I'm pooped.
Seeing as "oh sweet" mother of mine is gone to our new town, and my precious father is working night shifts, my past two weeks have been a living hell.
--literally, this is a lot.
Having a set of wheels makes everything easier though.
Today's tasks consisted of packing Owen's lunch, cleaning the house after all had left, driving to school & home, walking the dogs, washing the dogs, making dinner, feeding Owen dinner, going to Ashley's congrats dinner, taking Owen to soccer, sticking around for soccer photos, calling the real estate agent, booking an open house for tomorrow, driving home, walking dogs, cleaning dogs, bathe Owen, get him to bed, clean the house, work on homework--which is super long, and clean some more-- and still somehow, i managed to find time to create a blog.--Look at me go.

I don't mean to sound whiny or anything--but I mean, this is a lot for a seventeen year old.

I'm starting to really feel the reality of us leaving--the view still seems fuzzy, but I can see parts of the picture now.
To be honest, I'm scared to leave. This is my very first adventure that I'll be doing totally 100% on my own. Starting school in kindergarten, i had my big brother down the hall; moving to Alberta, had my big brother in the same class as me; going to the high-school, I had Ashley. But now, this is me--just me. I'm petrified.

this is enough of a first blog for me today, I still have to finish this paper--don't get me wrong, I love social studies--really, I do. I love all the knowledgeable stuff we learn, but often, the homework is just way too much for me to handle--even more-so now with my home-life.

I think my world is slowly falling apart-- but on the bright-side, every piece still holds it's beauty.

Keep the peace!
