Might be out for a bit...

Hey there everyone,

I know haven't been around much lately, so sorry, exams and portfolios have been due for the past three weeks...It's been crazy!

But, I've had kind of a family emergency develop. My aunt, who lives in Pennsylvania, was involved in an accident that has left her wheelchair bound for the next several weeks (perhaps the next 2 months). She has four children, all under the age of 13, and she is going to be moving in the next two months. My uncle has already moved to his new job in New York, and is having to make a 6 hour drive home, after work, nearly every evening to visit her in the hospital. Needless to say, they're stretched to their limit.

I've been asked by my family to move to Pennsylvania for as long as they need me; I've been asked to take care of the kids, and help them make their move as smooth as I possibly can. Because the job offers I've had lined up for this Summer haven't been solidified, I've gone ahead and accepted. So, this means I could be moving to Pennsylvania here in the next few days. This is all moving very fast, and I don't imagine it's going to be slowing any time soon. I'm hoping this won't cut too dramatically into my time as a moderator, but I have to face reality, and realize I'm not going to be on the Interenet much. I'm going to make every effort to come here as often as I can, as I really do love being a moderator.

Keep me in your thoughts if you can, as this is going to be one heck of a job; I'm not quite sure I'm cut out for it . Time will tell though

Off course i'll think of you Heidi! A new experience is in store for you, with what i know of you, i know you'll learn from it. But if you need a bit of energy, come here

Good luck and i hope everything will be ok for your aunt and for you too.

Mwah all my love!

Awww that's so nice of you well i hope everything goes fine

We all have faith in you, and I'm sure things will be fine.  Good luck, and remember that when stress gets the better of you, we'll be here.

Thanks guys,

So much. I know I'll return here to draw strength; I couldn't be away for too long, even if I were forced to be

Truth is, I'm starting to look forward to this whirlwind. I've been in a rut for the past month, and am ready to have my life so busy, I don't have time to think. I'm ready to just work, and not be judged (sorry, a little emo at the moment ) I'm just tired of school and everything surrounding it, so it's nice to think of taking on the 'mom' role. I'm totally cool with that

Thanks again everyone! I don't think I could get through all this without all your love

Thank you so much guys, all the comments mean so much

UPDATE: Well, my aunt has moved back home and is trying to settle in. She feels badly that I'm going to be flying out there, and doesn't want to take me from my mom on mother's day. I've spoken with her, and told her that every day around this home is like mother's day. It's just my mom and I 24/7...I would be fine to come earlier. Nevertheless, she feels bad, so I'm going to be waiting to get to Pennsylvania until after mum's day.

I'm enjoying the break, but I'm ready to work! I can't sit around here for too long...

Thank you guys again,

So much. I am going to try my very best to get on here at every oppotunity.

UPDATE: Okay, so, the date is final. I have a plane flight scheduled for May 14 in the evening. I'll be arriving in PA at around seven or eight. I'm nervous because this will be my first real plane flight alone, although I've been on several with others, it's going to be a brand new experience.

I spent some time with another aunt of mine this past tuesday-thursday; she's got two babies and could always use a helping hand around the house. Being with her, taking care of the kids and helping her out really gave me a sense of what it is I'm going to be doing. I feel much more comfortable with the idea of this whole thing than I did just a few days ago. We talked, I got my worries out on the table, and she helped me through them. I can't explain how wonderful the support has been from both my family, and you, my Paper Demon family. It's really meant the world to me.

I'll keep you updated as this crazy journey bounds onward; I think I'm going to get some life lessons here that I wouldn't trade for the world. My ultimate want in life is to be a mother and I think this is going to bring my duties into focus. It should be rather humbling

Thanks again, and I'll hopefully be talking to you all soon!
