Ramblings

So, we are now 5 more sleeps till we leave.  It is coming so fast.  We spent yesterday cleaning like mad, packing, moving things around.  The rest of the week will be full of the same plus squeezing in last minute playmates for the kids.

B is home today from school with a cold.  We figured what would she miss??  It is cute, she is reading J Man a dino book right now.  Her reading is really good, she surprises me at how proficient she is.  She is reading chapter books that Cici is reading too!

It is sunny today, the weather may turn worse for the weekend which will make both the wedding Paul is doing and the move interesting.  Oh well.

Paul was changing our address with... well, I don't remember who, but it was online.  He was asked about how we will be living.  Here were the options.

Renting?
Owning a house?
Living with your parents?

Well, I laughed pretty hard that living with your parents was an option.  They didn't ask if you were living with friends or even relatives!  I don't know which I find funnier, that living with your parents was an option or that we had to check that box!

Our water here is pretty bad right now.  We are on boil water advisory, the water fountains at the school are all covered up and there are water coolers there for the kids.  This happens every year but this year seems worse.  Even boiling the water for ever for tea still makes some really nasty tasting tea.  The creek that runs through town is raging and brown.  There was so much snow this year that it doesn't surprise me.

Our cable is off now, it is preparing us for my parent's house which doesn't have cable either.  Watched a great season one MacGyver last night, he was drugged and only had 6 hours to get the remedy before he died, he was of course saved by a homeless fishing teen girl.  Awesome!

Still cold here in the mornings, the heat went out last night and it was FREEZING in here this morning.

Well, off to make some bottle water tea and get going on our busy day.

  1. Your parents don't have cable??!! Do they live in the wilderness? Are they culturally illiterate? Do they glue rabbits ears to their head? How can they live???
