officially at new address

although I am still in the process of moving, I am sleeping at the new address so I guess that makes it official right?

I’m eating here, sleeping here and showering here so that pretty much makes it that I’m here.
I have tons of stuff yet to move, plants, boxes of books, clothes and assorted stuff, but…..for the most part I’m here.
And I have a month yet to get out of the other house.
I do have nine more days of vacation left before I go back to work so I can only imagine that I will get all the moving done in that time or shortly after that.

So while the bulk is done, there is still stuff to do.

moving

how I hate this job.
Literally hate the whole idea of it.
Can’t even say we are half way done although the main pieces of furniture we are taking is slowly getting over there.
I am pushing my husband one hundred and ten percent of the way.
He wants to wait, and I say “we have nine days left of vacation and you want to sit and wait for the time to pass and then move when we have to go back to work?”
How insane is that?
or is it just me?
I say let’s get moved while we have the time off of work.
So I am pushing him every bit of the way and he isn’t liking it.

anyway….I’m tired and tired of the whole mess, but it isn’t like some magic wand is going to be waved and we are suddenly all in there and everything is neat as a pen.

Neat

my oldest grand-daughter sat last night and read to me.
She was a bit uncomfortable because she said she doesn’t like to read in front of people but she did great!!!
So fun to watch and see her learning the way she has.
I have very smart grand daughters.
of course I’m sure every one thinks that about their grand children.
But I am truly blessed with the three and a half (can’t forget my peanut being born in May) grand children.
Thank you Lord
Amen.

Thanksgiving Day

while every one is gathering with their family and friends to be joyful and enjoy the good cooking and great food I will be moving.
Now doesn’t that sound fun?
instead of taking our eleven day vacation we are going to be moving.

now don’t feel sorry for me, because I was invited to my sisters in Missouri to eat and enjoy the good company there, but I felt it was better to stick close to home and get the moving done.

Thanksgiving will come around next year again and while my children are all off to their spouses or significant others each and every year I’m sure my hubby and I will find somewhere to go, next year.

I do hope everyone reading this will have a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.

busy day

it will be a busy day today.
not sure if I should have titled the message “I’m here but not really here” or just “busy day” simply because I am here but I will be so busy there won’t be time for the computer today.
I may write again on my lunch break but then again I might not.
I have a list of things that will fill up this day.
Right now it looks daunting and I’m not sure I will get it done, but….I usually do get everything done when I set my mind to it.

Anyway…hope every one has a good “Hump day” and I will catch you later

somewhere over the rainbow….

some where over the rainbow….. blue birds fly……
it is rainy cats and dogs here.
can’t believe it.
of course this is better than snow although they are talking about snow on Sunday evening.
doubt if it would stick since it is and has been fairly warm of late.
Way above average that is for sure….
so it wouldn’t stick….however I’m not ready for snow….

anyway as I think about my beautifully colored rainbow I think of how great life is and how thankful I am for all my blessings.

God awful dream

it was more of a nightmare really.
I dreamt my precious Keira died.
I don’t remember the exact details only that she got a head injury and passed away.
It was so real and I woke up thinking “I wouldn’t want to live without her in my world”
And then while I was bathing I thought “well I do have two other grand daughters and a baby on the way for my youngest child, so there is that”
But I just adore my precious Keira.
Not that I don’t adore the others too because I do.
I don’t know what would possess me to dream something so awful.
I have dreamt before that my husband has died or my brother-in-law, but never a child of mine or a grand child.
Hope to God this isn’t an omen.
I just couldn’t handle it very well to lose my Keira.

changed plans

no vacation for me this year, our plans got changed.
Guess we are moving instead.
And while some of you may be thinking, so take the vacation and then come back and move…..I just can’t justify spending the money to vacation when we have things involving moving that will take money too.
So….starting on Thanksgiving day we will start moving back to our other house.
No my son and his wife and daughters aren’t moving out right away.
The idea is to live together so they can save money (cut their bills in half and not charge them rent) so they will be able to move.
not sure what the time limit is or even if we should set one.
I do know they don’t want their daughters to go to the school district in our town, so…that gives them roughly eighteen months to save money for the move.
hope we can all live together in harmony for that long.

And while yes I am disappointed about not having a vacation…..to me this is more of a common sense thing…AND I have the next eleven days off after tomorrow…..so I can get a lot of moving, if not all of the moving done by then.

Plus the east coast isn’t going anywhere.

Thanksgiving

with the holiday only being three days away I wanted to take the time and reflect on what I am thankful for.
First and foremost I am thankful for My Lord.
Without Him nothing is possible and with Him everything is possible.
Without Him I would not have all the blessings I have.
I am thankful for my husband who loves me unconditionally and who is always honest and faithful to me.
I am thankful for my children all blessings from God.
I am thankful for my grand children all incredible blessings from God.
I am thankful for the spouses and significant others for my children.
I am thankful for the baby Emily is carrying, especially when we were told she might not ever be able to have a baby, so this is a true miracle from God.
I am thankful for my health and for my husband and children’s and grandchildren’s health.
I am thankful that I have a job.
I am thankful for my siblings
And last but not least I am thankful for those people who love me and befriend me.
Happy Thanksgiving one and all.

all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

we definitely are in the fall season now.
Everything is brown and quite ugly.
and then they are talking about it getting colder after today.
I realize we are in November and in a week (from tomorrow) it will be December 1st, but it still is a bit depressing to see all the browns out there.
I’m not saying I am ready for snow yet but I won’t mind it when it does come just so it can cover up this brown crap.

On a different note people have Christmas lights on and “Merry Christmas” signs hanging out there front doors already and I’m thinking “wow a little early for that isn’t it?”
???
Happy Monday one and all.
