this road we’re traveling

is paved with rocks and twinkies…

that’s what i’m feeling like right now. like major overconsumption of twinkies!  unfortunately that’s one of the ways i cope with stress. eat. eat. eat. then eat some more.

for the first time in years, i bought a box of twinkies. and, well, i must admit i’ve eaten a few. stress is abounding in our lives right now and that blasted fat-filled, processed puff of sugar has found its way into my life.

so, we put an offer on a house on monday, then received a counter offer. we’ve countered back and now we’re just waiting…waiting…waiting.
it’s a really beautiful little neighborhood.  it’s the bella vista community right next to valencia high school. cute house, great floor plan, end of a cul-de-sac. we’ll see.  trying not to get my hopes up. i’ve done that before and was utterly devastated. don’t want to make that mistake again.

no bites yet on our house. i can’t help but think people are crazy for passing this up! 🙂 but, of course, i am learning patience and faith. patience and trust. patience. and paaaaaaaaaaaaaatience. hopefully i won’t have to eat too many twinkies before things work out. i’d hate to be found comatose because i overdosed on those little lumps of lard.

  1. CLAAASSIC! I love your journaling, lovey. I’m laughing my sugar-filled stomach off. We can do it, baby. All will work out.

  2. ooooooooh, Cher! I feel your pain!! I really can’t stand that whole process. I love the way you express your feelings. Everyone can relate! We’re praying for you. Hang in there! Let us now as soon as you hear anything on either house. We’re biting our fingernails. . . and a few chocolate chip cookies– no twinkies in Mexico!

  3. Ahh, twinkies. I have to admit, they are pretty good. I really like hostess cupcakes too. Before you know it, you will have another home that you love and things will settle down. We will keep you all in our prayers and thoughts during this transitional time. One of the best things you are doing is keeping a sense of humor with it all. Makes everything a little easier when we can laugh. Love ya, Krista

  5. I know all about that moving thing. Ugh. I just moved in November (separating from husband – so I moved into my grandmothers rental house)- and now I’m looking at buying my own house – so I could possibly move in another few months. Talk about a whirlwind !!
    Good luck on the sale of your house (we sold our house in 3 days) !
