All settled in.. THANK GOODNESS

We made the last trip today to get the rest of our stuff moved out of the old place and into the new one.. Can I get a WHEW?! It feels good to be finished, I just about have everything unpacked and in it's place.. The big things we had, we left for the trip today... We had to move a HUGE Bowflex, and our 2 over-sized recliners.. I think... no, I'm pretty sure I will feel the effects tomorrow.. OUCH!...

I hate moving as much as the next person, but I DO love moving to a whole new place.. Even though it's still in the same state, this town is SOOO much different than the last.. I like it a lot better.. I can see that I'll be happy here once winter is over.. The main reason? POP WARNER BABY!!!!!!!!!!... I cannot WAIT to see my little man in his uniform playing some football!!! They didn't offer it in the other place.. all they had was flag football *insert rolling eyes here*.... To me, it's sort of a waste, but Keith wanted him to do it because it taught him the fundamentals of football... spoken like a true sports fanatic! Levi enjoyed it, and I must say, it did give me a taste of watching my boy play... Kaitlyn said she wants to be a cheerleader too... awwwww... I will be the proudest mama you ever did see, to be able to watch BOTH of my babies "perform"... I think the season here runs from August to November... can't WAIT!

I have also been doing some soul searching.. trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.. only about 15 years too late! There are lots of opportunities just waiting in this new town.. Oh, we might be getting some old friends to move here on this job with Keith that we haven't seen since Levi was 2! I am really crossing my fingers that they come here, just makes life a little more pleasant when you have good, down-home people around you! I think that's just about all I have right now.. I am sure something will happen in this next week that I'll need to write about, just to get it off my chest... If it happens, it's gonna happen to ME.. that's my motto! I have read that a lot of you have some sick kiddos, and I wanna say I hope they feel better really soon! With that, I am outtie and headed to bed.... LET THE SORENESS OF MOVING STUFF COMMENCE! UGH..

Praise the Lord and pass the Nyquil!

Only 3 letters can explain the way I feel today.. YUK! I think we have all caught some sort of bug, and while I won't go into detail, makes ya feel like poo... I took some Nyquil before bed last night.. and while I'm pretty aware that it does NOTHING for viruses, it sure does make you sleep good! I was sleeping like a ROCK, then 6am hit... knowing I didn't have to take the kids to school, I wanted to sleep in.. but nope... Right at the butt crack of dawn, the kids were awake and in FULL swing.. I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep but then, Keith said "we might as well get up, we have to go grocery shopping today".. I SO did not want to hear those words!!

I finally dragged myself out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth... you know the usual morning ritual.. then I got myself dressed and out the door we went... Headed to Wal-Mart.. but you know.. one thing I've learned is, when you live in a SMALL town that the closest Wal-Mart is 2 hours away, you learn to appreciate going there when its only a 20 min. drive.. We made our list before going.. just to get a week's worth of groceries.. thats IT.. but WHY is it, when you walk thru the doors, any list you have made seems to disappear and you end up with tons of stuff you didn't know you needed until you saw it right at that moment?? If I were a rich girl, our economy would NOT be suffering.. I'll tell you that much!! Funny enough to me.. the ONLY aisle I did NOT visit was the medicine aisle.. Imagine that!


I am off to clean up after supper and take my dose of what little Nyquil I have...Untill next time, may you all be germ free!!
