Movers and Shakers
I am honestly too tired and too busy to blog. We spent almost the entire weekend moving stuff from Ms B and Chef’s old apartment to their new house!
I was there when she moved in to the apartment 5 years ago, back when we were young(er) and she was starting a career with this huge company. Little Princess was just a few months old then and I remember placing her in one of the boxes with clothes ‘cuz there wasn’t a “safe” furniture to put her in while we bring stuff in the unit.
When I was packing and putting things out of the apartment, it felt so surreal and nostalgic. Memories of the move in 5 years ago came flashing in my head. I realized how much my kids have grown, how much the world have aged and how fast my youth is saying goodbye. Okay, okay…the last part was a bit of an exaggeration and I am obviously being too dramatic, but you get what I mean. If you don’t, please pretend that you do.
I am so very proud of how much my little sister has accomplished. I could not be happier for her.
When we were packing the kitchenware yesterday, I asked her if she knew she was THE person qualified to get my kids if *knocks on wood* something ever happened to me and Um. I have made this decision years ago…way before Little Princess was born. Um and I have actually talked about it many, many times before. I was surprised to hear her say she didn’t. It probably sounded so opportunistic of me telling her now that she has a huge house. LOL. Seriously, though, I thought she knew. And I asked her to talk to Chef about it. *Crossing fingers* I hope he agrees.
I started wondering if Ms B knew about this matter when we were hearing mass yesterday. It was my first time at the church. I loved the kiddie sermon (apparently, we attended the children’s mass…If I were a kid, I would be sure to listen to the priest). I loved the architecture of the church, too. It was so South American and it made me think about going to Brazil someday with Um. My weird-wired mind reminded me of the tragic Air France flight 447 that mysteriously disappeared last year and thought of Captain Awesome and Little Princess being raised by Ms B.

Although I don’t know everything or everyone you mentioned up there, I really like this post. I don’t know if I like the content or specific word choices you made but I just like it. And I definitely know what you meant by “how fast my youth is saying goodbye.” (And I am not pretending at all LOL) And this is my favorite sentence in your post: “When I was packing and putting things out of the apartment, it felt so surreal and nostalgic.” I feel like I was there too and felt the same.
