Goodbye Raleigh, Hello St Louis! - Page 2

Blossom · 03-14-2015, 11:59 AM

Thank you o much everyone! I booked the truck so that makes it all official. *gulp* I have such mixed feelings returning to St Louis. It was not a happy time for me. Maybe that's why I need to go back to lay it all to rest. I don't know..

I worry how my husband will handle it all. He's not use to people who think he who yells the loudest wins. Everyone is so angry and bitter (not at me) and think yelling and hitting is normal. It's just not going to be healthiest situation but they are thrilled I am coming home. I've been out of that environment for 15 wonderful years. I've grown up and married a man who never raises his voice at all and wouldn't hurt a fly. Who is logical and I can talk things out with. My whole family runs on high emotions and who's side are you taking nonsense. Their moods change fastest than the wind so the sooner we get into our on place the better.

I keep telling hubby and my father in law to call corporate about being told we are breaking our lease. I had another tenant tell me to do the same and they (corporate) would take care of it but they don't want to rock the boat.

I will keep at them.

Blossom, I'm sure your emotions are all over the place but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this move works out better than the last one did, and most importantly, that your hubs has better luck on the employment front in St. Louis.

And hey, at least it's springtime in Missouri so you won't have to put up with too much bad weather.

Thank you! Yeah Missouri does have a nice Spring season. I am packing plenty of Claritin.

My emotions are all over the place I already had a melt down. My mom called told me and that I had hurt her because I am letting my sister in law do everything and I blew up because I first asked my mother and sister to help find us a place to rent and my mom called my sister in law asking if she could get us into the apartment complex she lives in.

My sister in law has been nothing but helpful and nice and mom can't stand it. She got mad when I just happen to mention I needed to call my SIL to ask her about getting post office box and the procedure to go about it and mom was like I am your mother. I will do it on Monday. Now it makes no sense really seeing they don't even know the post office as they live in a different town but I said okay as it not that big of a deal to me. So after I blew up at mom accusing me of not letting her help. I now feel bad because she has done so much for us but I can't play these petty games of hers. When I mention that my SIL was sick and in pain and on her way to the Doctor they actually laughed with glee about it.

You see what I am dealing with here? Just not healthy. Hubby is napping so he doesn't know anything about it.

Blossom · 03-15-2015, 08:26 PM

I think we have one more day left on the room where we store all our boxes and then it will be ready to load onto the truck. I realize today I don't have time to get rid or go through any of them I just have to make them ready for moving. I told hubby 10 months ago when he started unpacking actually we got into a discussion about it. I told him to only unpack the essentials we would need for 10 months and of course he did not listen to me till I got upset about it by them all the appliances and kitchen stuff was unpack. I am just relieved that 75% of everything is still packed even if he open most of the boxes.

I still have to pack the kitchen and living room. All books are pack.

Kindles are not yet I keep hoping someone will buy one. I plan to pack up my office tomorrow. I found all my boxes today.

Not officially but I am willing to sell any of my eInk Kindles. The paperwhite is in the Flea Market.

silverraven · 03-16-2015, 09:22 PM

Did you have a price in mind? Just curious, I totally understand the lack of funds issue. But dangit, they don't make them any more....

The Kindle 4 non touch black color. It has buttons on the side, no touch screen, no screen light. Very basic.

Thanks and sorry. I still have the Kindle Keyboard and a 7-inch Kindle Fire.

basschick · 03-18-2015, 01:33 AM

best of luck with the logistics, and hopefully your family won't drive you bats...

mlewis78 · 03-18-2015, 09:12 PM

Good luck! Hope this works well for you. The location doesn't matter concerning jobs?

I would think the only penalty for breaking a lease would be to lose your deposit. (I am not an attorney, but I know that landlords are have no scruples).

Blossom · 03-18-2015, 10:21 PM

Thanks everyone. It seems the apartment we wanted we didn't get but the landlord is willing to give us a 1 bedroom 410SQFT instead. It's tiny but it's a hundred cheaper. Mom is blowing her top as it's not in the best of the buildings and it's second story so she blaming my SIL who has no idea any of this is going on. I have to hung up on her today when she accused me of turning against her and being on my SIL side who I haven't talk to since she and my brother and my mom went out for St Patrick's Day.

I'd forgotten what it like to deal with a mental ill person like my mother. *sigh*

I'm actually happy to find out it's second story as it's what I prefer. (The cat in me I guess)

It's not ideal but it's will be only temporary. The Landlord said once hubby finds permanent employment we can have a 2 Bedroom so we wont be locked into this place. My biggest worry is where am I going to put the litterbox?!?

It's getting really stressful and it shouldn't be as everything is pretty much worked out but my Family only knows drama it seems.

No not currently but I have not time to figure anything out thanks to dealing with family drama I had not had to deal with in 16 years.
