movin' on

we shacked up with my parents ever since the husband's parents' house burned down more than a year ago. now, it feels right to move out. it's becoming more of a nuisance living here and personally, i don't like being caught in the middle (family vs. hubby).and i don't want jackjack growing up and running to his grandparents for rescue when it's time to discipline him. i want to be a mom to my son and a wife to my husband, and they need to see that. right now, it's more of i'm their daughter who happened to have a husband and a child. i don't feel i'm treated as an adult, as another parent.

the husband and i were discussing about the new place we were going to spruce up and move into within the year. he's excited about it and wants to infuse some feng shui into the decor. there was talk about getting a pet turtle because energy has to keep moving even if we're out. he was thinking about color palettes for the walls and where to put stuff, because the east side of house shouldn't get wet...i don't have anything against that, but when he started talking about walling the window in the bedroom, i went, "what?! we have a child. i dont want us suffocating in the heat because it is unlucky to have a window in the bedroom." i had to put my foot down and told him i have no qualms with whatever needs to be done, as long as the health and safety of jackjack is always considered first. my son did not survive that for nothing.
