Wisteria Lane...

Oh, you remember the show... the women who were all beautiful, well-dressed, married, divorced or otherwise having affairs with young, hot men...

They all lived in this little Suburb and had much dirty laundry and a possible body or two buried in their backyards.

Well, I give you:

Exhibit A:
My New House

Ok, So I made quite a tough decision. I decided to give up my city life in a nice apartment, feeling like the perpetual Single Young Female, in favor of the family life.

It happened quite suddenly actually and my head has been spinning ever since.

Well, the things one does for love is often questioned by others and then when the euphoria wears off, questioned by yourself.

However, I do love this house.  Mind you - I moved in 3 weeks ago - before I even slept in the house, I had a Scorpion visitor, which freaked me out! I hired a guy to hunt for them and he found none.. it took him 3 hours to check inside / outside and came up empty - which I was thrilled about (Actually an hour of that was him telling me his life story!) - Nonetheless, I was chuffed.

The A/C decided to conk in.  As my boo brought his belongings over, a bunch of sentimental items got lost / shifted / misplaced or mysteriously vanished... causing quite the drama. Things went missing, things got scratched and broken. It was like a war-zone with alot of casualties.. one of which was my sanity!

There I was putting together kids' bunkbeds with drills and tool kits, and doing a ton of laundry.. Oh, did I mention at this point I didn't yet have a washing machine .. so I have been bundling up my dirty unmentionables and taking it over to another house to do my laundry.

I spent days moving heavy furniture up and down stairs. Trying to calm the chaos within...

My landlord had no keys for my postbox (still being sorted out), utilities, trash services and all sorts of other stuff to deal with.

This "movie" looks nothing like "Gaby's" life.. she just wore cute clothes, seduced men around the neighborhood and had a maid.. Oh wait - I left that life back in South Africa!!

Now, I have cheesy Halloween decorations on one side of me and snotty kids running around in the streets in the middle of the night.. And no, its not the ghetto either!

*Side note distraction** I was actually once on the set of Wisteria Lane and I met Terry Hatcher -  what a tall ,gorgeous woman - she made me feel like that ugly hobbit from.. wait all hobbits are ugly.. she made me feel like a hobbit! 

But no.. my life is nothing like that.

On the flip side. I have SOOO much space! I have spread my entire closet over 4 rooms.. well the kids don't have that many clothes, so they can share ;)

So, now I find myself 3 weeks shy of having done any sort of workout.  My belly spilling over every clothing Item I wear.  I am exhaustedballs!!

No time to.. ugh whats the use.. You get the picture!

Watch this space for my ComeBack!

Its coming.!
