It's Almost Time!

It is the start of a very LONG 9 days! It's moving time! EEK!

Just a nice way to start this off. I had my first "Girl's Night" in years, last night! Thank goodness I talked them into going to the casino...I walked away with $708...to be exact! I think it was Pechanga's way of saying they are going to miss me!

Let's start with the fun stuff. Fun. Sure. No, not really. First, I have another huge 10 page paper due on Monday. I started it today. Oops. But I don't want to focus on that...other than I did make the Dean's List! Who would have thought that! Buppa was still somewhat himself when the list came out...his response..."hell froze over". Yeah, that about explains that. ha ha.

Tuesday I get to separate EVERYTHING in our house...what needs to come in the cars with us...and what the movers are taking. They come on Wednesday to pack us. We are going to be without our household belongings for AT LEAST 2 weeks...if we are lucky!

Side note real quick...Layla just came running into the living room yelling "here comes me" at the top of her lungs. I asked her who is me...she replied...the girl going to bed.

Back to moving...the house we are renting in North Carolina...we will be going straight into, so we have to prepare for the days, even a week (I hate saying that)...that we will be living there without our stuff! Luckily, we have saved a set of old dishes, glasses and such that we can just jam into a box to take with us. Ava starts school only 2 days after we get there...so her and I have already done all of her school shopping. We only need a lunch box and school supplies. (Note to self...make sure the movers don't pack her new school clothes and backpack).

I'm going to need to get the girls out of the house on Wednesday. The movers will probably go insane if the girls were constantly following them around the house talking about iCarly, Alvin and the Chipmunks and the new trampoline they are getting. Any person that comes into our house to do work (lately there have been a few since our builder came through with work orders)...but anyone that was here...the girls followed and talked to them about nonsense. So, they will be out of the house...somehow! Although, I do need to get Subway and gatorade for the movers. I want to "spoil" them so they are extra careful with our stuff. Especially our china and depression glass. They can't replace those if they break any of them. If I could buy them beer...I would. But that wouldn't help with the not breaking the old glass!

And Thursday...the movers will be back packing again! Thursday, I'm not sure what kind of food to spoil them with...not pizza. I don't want one of them having to use our bathroom for not fun stuff! ha. Sorry. So that is on my "to do list"...find a somewhat healthy, won't cause stomach problems, food to provide them!

Finally, Friday...our stuff will be loaded on the moving truck and start it's way to North Carolina.

Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be spent cleaning the house and carpet for the renters...while Jason and I sleep on an air mattress and the girls sleep in sleeping bags! Stella is going to freak! I mean freak! Stella is going to be the one that makes this stressful!

We are keeping our two smallest tv's to take with us...that way the girls can watch dvd's since all their toys will be gone...and I can watch pre season football! I'm going to miss the Chargers so much!

Somewhere in there...I think Sunday, we are going to Shannon's for a laundry party so we can have clean clothes to start our 6 day drive! You know you are jealous about not having a laundry party. So. Much. Fun.

And, the next phase of our military life will start on Tuesday, leaving California for North Carolina. I know I will be bored with a house full of NOTHING and will blog again before we leave...but we are excited and just ready to get there already!

Now, I really, really need to stop putting off my paper and go and analyze literature! Thank goodness I'm good at it...but by gosh, it's freakin boring! Luckily, this was a nice break!
