Today is starting wonderfully. I've been desperately trying to keep my sanity as the next week comes and goes. We are having my teenage step-daughter come live with us. For most of you, you know that this is the last thing I want. It's one of those 'Been There, Done That, Never Ever Want To Do It Again' type of things. My boss was nice enough to give me the next two weeks off (except Saturday) to give me time to prepare. My grandparents are driving 2 1/2 hours as I write to help me out.
Main things on the list are:
- Install a lock on the guest bedroom closet, I have it as my tiny craft room and I am not undoing it! and that is that!
- Moving most everything out of the guest room, empty the bookshelf, take all decor off the walls, and empty the dresser.
- Install locks on overhead bins in garage, for any valuables or whatever.
- Install a lock on doors of the master bedroom and bathroom.
- Make sure all valuables are put in rooms with locks.
- Install a towel rack in guest bathroom.
- Clean everything.
- Make sure tv in guest bedroom is working and usable.
- Install an extra lock for back sliding door.
- And last but not least, PRAY.
Thank the Lord my grandparents are coming to help. I cannot even express to anyone in words how I am feeling. But I know that once all of those things are accomplished, I will feel a lot safer in my own home. Maybe I'm just OCD about my things, and I know I am. But there is something awful about feeling unsafe in your own home. And if everyone could just say a prayer about this situation, please do! I would really appreciate it!!
