I guess we forget that you are human too. You are always looking on the bright side and rarely complain. It brought back memories of my move. It was a hard time feeling so emotional and not like myself. I wish I could come over and give you a hug.

This is a GREAT post. And s...I agree with Andrea. This is a GREAT post. And something I can identify with...in a small way. I felt like I was in another country when I moved to New York, and my emotions were so messed up. I had a really hard time adjusting (and it took me a good 7-8 months to finally feel happy again). Moving is hard, I don't like it. I have been feeling the blah's again lately,...and trying to figure out why. Maybe it has something to do with the weather? Who knows. I'm not sure I would take the sweaty heat and bug bites over the cold weather- even though I am SO done with the cold. I hope you get some good AC soon. That is miserable. About the doctor appointment- It sounds like me. I mean as I read it, I could totally see me in the same situation saying the same things, being so angry at the stupid lady for messing up that it would put me to tears. I once asked for a raise and when my then-boss said he couldn't, I started crying and couldn't stop!! It was a combination of a lot of things, but I was humiliated because everyone there saw me crying. I just wanted to curl up and dissapear. Why can't I control myself sometimes?!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255002466336983821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-42813153923613223092008-02-01T11:43:00.000-07:002008-02-01T11:43:00.000-07:00I know your move is a million times larger than ou...I know your move is a million times larger than ours, but if it makes you feel better I've been an emotional rollercoaster as well. One day I think it's fun to move, the other day I want to cry to a new doctor! I will give myself a little credit since I'm prego, but that's just an excuse. Anyway, best of luck. I'm sure with time you will have so much fun in your new found land. I've always wanted to go there and see a wild kangaroo...but not get kicked.Jenny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06162026865446863348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-73543422354417307912008-02-01T09:30:00.000-07:002008-02-01T09:30:00.000-07:00You are so great!

It is nice to know that others have bad day's too. :) My therapist always said...give yourself 24 hr pitty party after some that totally wigs you out whatever it may be and move on...it makes me feel less guilty. :)<BR/><BR/>PS...I busted a gut about "Full House"...my sis and I always talk about the "realization moment" at the end and laugh. :)The Wells Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025221593130579698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-24395132734129321402008-02-01T09:20:00.000-07:002008-02-01T09:20:00.000-07:00Natalie!!

They don't realize that it's hard to dole out the 2 kids and try to make everything work. You are so funny, I love your comparison to full house. You are so great!! I went to the gym a month ago and the Daycare was full. I have never even brougt my kids but I was meeting my mom and Heather for a class and I was TICKED!! Especially since I had made the effort to drive 15 minutes there and to get the kids ready to go. Well I threw a major fit. I spent 400 dollars on my gym pass and what's the point if you can't use the daycare. Anyways they ended up taking my kids but I felt dumb because I was that girl!!

It is just so stressful to move and get settled and to add all the international things on top of it is just too much some times. The good part is that you've done it twice before and adjusted do you know you will again! ENJOY THE WEATHER. I'd take bug bites over the crummy weather we have to wake up to EVERY morning! :)Jocee Bergesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467686997377004258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-81570882390151750812008-01-31T16:01:00.000-07:002008-01-31T16:01:00.000-07:00Nat,I had a hard time with my initial adjustment t...Nat,<BR/>I had a hard time with my initial adjustment to AZ so I can't imagine going all the way around the world!

I can send it internationally since you will actually get it in time that way. Although, you might have to explain how to do that... I have it addressed and ready to go so I will probably head down the the post office. I haven't ready your blog yet, so I might comment again :) Love ya!Kristine L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18408146441187084075noreply@blogger.com
