A day to myself...& Palm Sunday

So today we headed to church this a.m. It was nice. We saw a nice production from a Calvary Chapel from another town.

Today we remember the day Jesus was recognized and glorified as King while on earth. This whole week is a special week. As Christians we can celebrate Passover as Jesus was our Passover Lamb. His blood keeps us from the wrath to come. Then we have Good Friday as we remember Jesus's death...and then Resurrection Sunday (I refuse to call it Easter)...It's my hope that I focus on the life of Christ in a special way this week. It's good to remember all that he has done for us.

Then after church my super duper hubby went and did some stuff for his parents and offered to take the kids so I could have a day to myself. I thought that was very nice of him and so a day to myself I had.

What did I do with my day? Well I did wash, dishes, cleaned up the RV, grocery shopped (got myself some Nike flip flops)and stopped by Dutch Bros for a mocha...then I spent some time reading the Bible (specifically about Palm Sunday) and surfed the net a tad...then they were back.

It actually was nice to have some time to clean up around here. And Sunday is our wash day so that really had to be done. Doing laundry in the laundry facilities isn't really that bad. For 4 loads wash and dry it's about $6.25 and it's all done in one hour and 15 minutes. So I do that twice a week. ... Normally I do laundry all day everyday. It was actually quite pleasant. And then also I have to fold it or hang it up right away so it doesn't wrinkle...so I get it folded and put away a lot faster than I used to. It used to sit on the couch for a bit either folded or unfolded..

I really think I miss the dishwasher more than the laundry machine and dryer. It takes me a long time to hand wash dishes. And it hurts my back standing there for so long.

So I wasn't totally alone. My dog was with me. He went to the store with me. So it was a nice quiet day. A good recharge of the batteries I felt.

So off to start a new week. Hope you have a good one.

Another Day Down...

It's about 10 minutes to Sunday. (yawn)

I am tired so this will probably be quick. Maybe even quicker than I thought because I don't have much to say today. Narnia was pretty good. Cute is more like it...in my opinion.

There is this song running through my head to the tune of Green Acres...

RV acres is the place to be RV livin is the life for me...

:) So I saw kandjmom's dad today. Chatted with him for a bit. Sounds like they have some moving to do as well here pretty soon. They live in my home town...which I wonder if I'll move back there someday. Who knows? God does...

Well all sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

I'm already there...take a look around...I'm the sunshine in your hair..

Something about this laptop that makes me feel really cool. I'm kickin back in my bed typing away, clickin like I'm all that. I feel like I should be in a movie or be some kind of spy woman or something. I'm on some covert mission while my honey is snoozing away next to me.

So this RV is so stinkin cool!! I really like the stereo in the bedroom. Well it goes through the whole thing but we have it in our bedroom as well. I'm listenin to country music right now. Something about Pina Colada's...

Anyways today was just fabulous...Just a normal day. We got up, got ready drove to school. Came back, napped while daughter watched cartoons. Got up, ate lunch...then headed back to school. Went to park and played. Then went to Grandma's. Had a bible study. Left and headed to "home". Put kids to bed and kicked back with honey.

Now here I am laid back with the ol laptop. Yah mayn. Again...country music is sooo...hick. Billy's got his beer goggles on...NICE. So USA. Oh well. That's us I suppose.

Well that is all for tonight. Tomorrow night I'm watching the Narnia movie. During the day I'm hanging out relaxing while my man goes on a field trip to the Bonneville Dam with his class. Right on.

So over and out!! Peace out!!!
Me.

Long Days...

Since we've moved it seems we're going and going and going and there is always something to do. We're going from the moment we wake up until we go to bed and then when we go to bed there is more we can do...but we just save if for the next day. It's not big stuff either it's just the small little things.

Also my son's school is now 30 miles away. So we're driving a lot. It's not too bad but since it's half day I leave go home...stay for a bit and then head back. Gotta love it. I say that with a smile on my face.

Moving is always a bit stressful and I think you can tell we're all a bit stressed. My kids have been going to bed too late and waking up early. Therefore my son is very cranky and cries easily at night. My daughter has been sleeping a lot on our drives so she is catching up with her sleep a bit. Since they share a room going to sleep takes them longer with all their giggling back and forth and then in the morning my daughter wakes up crying really loud and usually wakes my son up. I'm sure we'll get back in the swing of things eventually.

My sleep and wake cycle is normal as always up late and up with the kids. My husband has been going to bed a little bit later than normal.

I just finished doctoring my dog. Put drops in his ears and cleaned his wrinkles...he no like it at all...He's resting now. Snoring away. Now that we live in the RV he no longer sleeps in his crate but at the foot of our bed. I like it that way. It's pretty cute. Now the crate just stays in our car for rides. He's our little buddy.

One thing that is fun about the RV park is we always have new neighbors. I haven't met any yet but my husband has. One family with four daughters were on their way to Disneyland. Then today he met a guy who knows a friend of ours and he travels a lot with his job and stays in an RV. Small world. It's really interesting.

So tomorrow is another busy day...I'm hoping to get laundry put away tomorrow...ha ha.

Have a good night to all.

Finally...I'm Back!

Well that didn't take too long. Right this moment I am typing from my bed on my oh so comfy mattress in the bedroom of my RV. My super duper husband brought my new little laptop home to me today. This blog is the first thing I did...well I checked my email and then came here.

Now I'm going to get myself caught up on things like reading some other blogs and some financial stuff.

But first before I'll that I'll update the world on RV life. So far it isn't too bad. It will definately take some adjustment. We're trying to get into a routine. We're trying to get used to this RV. The whole world of an RV is new to us. We've had no experience with one but we're learning. Nothing like jumping in the deep end and teaching yourself to swim.

We thought the heat to this thing was either/or gas or electric and it would use whatever it was hooked up to. We found out the hard way the other night that it's just gas. It ran out in the middle of the night. I was sooo cold and couldn't figure out what was going on. I got up and it was Off so I thought my dh had turned it off so I turned it back on...well then it never came on. So got up again and checked and it was off...I thought I must've turned it off in my tiredness. I turned it back on and cranked it up to 90. I jumped back in bed, curled up in my covers, and waited. It turned on and I waited to heat up. Then about a minute later it shut off...ARGH...so eventually we got it figured out.

So the 50 pound dog can't get up and down stairs so we have to lift him...and he just got an ear infection that we're treating. Also taking him out is a bit more of a chore now because when it's just me I have to take the kids with me and walk out to the dog area.

Wash will be in laundry facilities from here on out. Fun. Oh and dishes are by hand. Yipee!! But really it's all not that bad. I think it'll be fine once we get used to it and adjust.

Our kids really like it. They have a cute little room. And this RV park has a tiny playground. It'll have the pool open in May ... and ... yah. So. So that is really all for now. I'll write more later on it all.

Ciao,
Moi
