It's not forever but until the next time I'm at a computer or until I get my laptop and internet capabilities. Could be short. I don't think it'll take super long.
So today we got a lot done. My mom came over and we packed. My dh (dear husband for those of you who don't know) and I went and signed papers today. Yeah! It is done.
So...currently my kids and I are waiting for pizza to be delivered and my husband is taking a load of stuff to our RV that is already in the park and a load to his brothers of stuff we are giving them.
Tomorrow my mom is coming over again (and maybe my sis...my mom is going to ask her...so Big Sis if you're reading this hope to see you) and we're going to pack. Then in the evening my nephew and BIL are coming over to help my husband load the final heavy stuff. And we'll have to take stuff to 3 different places.
Tonight I'm going to continue packing and say goodbye to my computer. My internet access ends tomorrow and I'm going to shut er down. I have one last thing to take off my computer and then I don't know. Maybe I'll give it someone. I think maybe my mom knows of someone who needs it?
We have got rid of/packed/taken away so much stuff from our house and it still seems full. Ugh. It's weird.
So blog world I have to say I have enjoyed you. I like blogging and keeping up on other's blogs as well. I have added an "Email Me" link to my blog so people can email me if they so choose. To those of you that I sent an email address change email to the other day...this email on my blog is different but you can use either one.
I'll be in touch I'm sure next week since maybe from my parents computer. I'm about to enter fulltime RV life for awhile. Say a prayer for me. I'm sure it'll be neat in some ways but challenging in others. Overall I'm looking forward to it. This is one thing (of the many) I like about my marriage--having adventures together and plowing through the unknown together. We entering a new phase, starting a new chapter, breaking new ground. Fun stuff.
Luv,
Moi

A pretty fun day
Even though my husband was a bit grumpy. Just from being over tired. Poor guy gets up early for work and sometimes it catches up to him. He's in bed with our daughter tonight and I'll be sleeping in my sons bed with him. Then tomorrow night we're going to switch. Why? Good question. I'll tell ya.
Funny story it is. Probably more funny watching it. But if you can picture things well in your mind and know anything about RV's you might find it amusing. If you click on my Novemeber archives and scroll all the way down you can read about the purchase of our new bed. Our first new bed since we were married nearly nine years ago.
So anyways the mattress that came with the RV I knew from the get go wasn't going to work. We'll just put our new mattress in it I figured. They are both queen size but there are many differences between the two mattresses which include thickness, weight, quality...bendability, flexibility...the ability to get in and out of small spaces. Our mattress looks about 2 feet thick.. probably not but it is very thick. The RV mattress looks about six inches thick. The RV mattress I could carry by myself. Our mattress is hard for me to carry with my husbands assistance.
We head into the RV and proceed to remove the flimsy mattress. Surprisingly it's a bit more difficult and takes a bit of manipulation but in about 5 minutes it's out of there. I notice that for this puny mattress it had to bend a bit. How would ours do? For the first time I questioned that this whole idea was going to even work.
We went upstairs and I now had high doubts this was going to happen. I could barely lift the thing (no handles the other mattress and some handy plastic around it). Coupled with that there was the humiliating feeling I was going to have if anywas was watching us as we haul this thing outside and attempt to stuff it into our little RV.
Still we continue. The thought of sleeping on the thin little RV mattess for four years drives us on. We slide it down the stairs. We get to the living room and I lift it up with my husband. Oh hold on it hurts my fingers...OK lets try it again. We head out the back door and to the edge of the deck. Oh hold on I need to regrip. Ok. Across the grass we go. I notice a jogger across the street. I play confidant, we know what we're doing.
We scoot the front end of it into the door along with my husband. I say a silent prayer. Oh Lord if there's a way please show us. As we push I hear the faint sound of a rip followed by an innocent little "oops" Thankfully it was minor and on the underside/edge of the mattress. We can sew it my man says! "Yes!" I say positively.
With prodding and pushing we have the mattess in the hall way switching places here and again. Somehow someway the mattress keeps moving forward. A bend here, a fold there, a push at just the right moment...the saying's held true--where there's a will there's a way!! Who knew 2 ft thick mattress could fold? We didn't. We're a curtain short now in the bedroom but I'll take that over that tiny springy mattress anyday.
I walked out of the trailer like I knew what I was doing all along.

It's getting so close...
...to my last post!!!
Ha ha I'm a poet and don't know it...but my feet show it. They're Longfellers!!!!
Ok that is something my dad would always say ...and believe me it's way more funny when he says it. It's hard not to laugh at my dad when he's being dumb. Even when he says things I shouldn't be laughing at...but it's hard. Sometimes I have turn my head, you know like when a kid does something bad but hilarious and you don't want to encourage them to do it again with your laughing so you have to turn your head... Yes I have to do that sometimes. My dad!! He's one in a million.
So..ok today is Tuesday. Thursday we are taking out trailer to the RV park...so I have a LOT to do between now and then. We should be completely moved out by...Saturday. Oh then we get to clean this place. Fun stuff. Can't wait for that.
Tonight by boy is spending the night at his cousins house. My husband and daughter are asleep and it's just me. Typing on the floor, listening to the soothing rumble of my dogs snore. Not much exciting going on for our spring break. It's relaxing but not excitine.
Yes even though we're moving (something I'm growing used to) this week it is still relaxing because I can get up in the morning and go at my own pace and not have to get my son ready for school. I think that is one of the major things I'll like about homeschooling--not having to get up and go somewhere first things in the morning. I'll still have routine and schedule ... but I'll do it in my pj's if I feel like it. :0) And it won't be a start-at-8-in-the-morning homeschool...no no no...rather 9 or or 10!!! Yeah BABY!!
Anyway so. That is all for now. Will I post tomorrow? Probably. Will I post Thursday? Probably. Will I post Friday? .... Probably not...and then it'll be adios until further notice. But don't forget....
I'LL BE BACK!!

posting while i have the chance
Well. I was reading a blog (not linked on mine) and was inspired to write something.
Ten Things My Children Have Taught Me... So here it goes...
1. When naughty it's mostly because we want you're full attention.
2 Don't get so frustrated.
3. Mornings are "sunny time" not "grumpy time"
4. Life is oh so short.
5. Every moment can be a teaching moment.
6. We all feel love differently...pay attention to our needs and love us accordingly.
7. Life is not boring when done right.
9. We all need snuggles on a regular basis.
10. Some things (like raising kids) are worth doing right the first time...it might not be easy but it is possible... for HE (God) has given us everything we need for life and godliness...
I could go on... but the main point is that everyday I learn something new about raising my kids. Lately it's that they will get it I just can't give up...keep pounding it in their head, keep reciting the Bible verse, keep telling them why, keep praying with them, keep explaining it to them, keep on keeping on...they will get it. I have found that truly God has and will continue to give me what I need to raise my kids right, and in the TRUTH of His word, in HIS way... each and every day.
So ... I'm posting and it's late. I spent some of today cleaning up my computer, copying files and pictures, deleting stuff...just cleaning it up and getting it ready to give to someone else. I might get my laptop tomorrow...and so I really don't know when I'll be offline for a bit so I'm posting while I can.
I'm sitting on the floor right now as we gave my desk to my sister to use until further notice. We'll be moving this week. May the adventure begin.
Oh my aching back... :)
Until next time.

Quickie
Making a quick post to update our situation. We get our RV tomorrow. In a week we'll be moving out and headed to an RV park. I'm getting my laptop (all God willing) tomorrow and will be transferring over all my stuff and not sure when I'll be back online. Well I'll be online until this computer is shut down which could be anytime between tomorrow and next weekend but not sure the exact time. Then I don't know when I'll be back online.
The adventure starts soon and I'm nervous, anxious, excited and a bit apprehensive. Who knows what will happen next.
Today was cool because our buyers signed all their papers today. Yeah!! Exciting.
Have a good weekend everyone. I really hope you do. But whatever happens when God is our Rock we can stand firm, cling to him, and trust that the earth below us will never crumble. He has us in His hands.
