Randomness

Absolutely random list

1. An extra$10 is never too much to spend to ensure we get 2 double beds next time we stay in a hotel. Two adults, two kids, one dog in one double bed is a travesty. Hence this post in the
middle of the night. I'm waiting for everyone to wake up so I can get my sleeping shift in.

2. First dance recital is over One more to go. Nora and Charlotte were absolutely fearless and
beautiful and I have the video to prove it! It will be posted as soon as I can figure it out. Craig said I can post pics and videos w/ my mini laptop. I'll be sleeping through my lesson
tomorrow.

3. House on Burray is no more. After several sleepless frantic nights Craig and I managed to
pack what was left of our possessions. Through the mother of all yard sales, craigslist, and the dump we were able to condense 7000 Sq ft(includes basement) into 4 6’D x 7’W x 8’H
relocubes. Don't worry, I didn't cry too long. But it was very difficult.

4. Pictures from Fl are popping up on FB. Yuck for me....yay for Nora & Charlotte!

5. I should have had a root canal done last summer. My tooth is killing me.

6. I couldn't recycle all my mags I've been collecting, but I couldn't in all conscience pack them
when I was throwing out so much good stuff. I packed them under my clothes in the back of
the hummer and I've been going through them while living hotel life and tearing out the pages
I like. Then I recycle them.

7. Wondering how I'm going to entertain 2 kids all next week? Wish we could leave after
tomorrow's dance, but I also don't want the kids to miss their preschool graduations or
Tammy's wedding.

8. Nora and Char are obsessed with Aunt Suesue! There's tons of playacting involved and I
overheard a scene being played out in the back of the truck today. Nora always plays the
part of Suesue and Charlotte covers Allie, Lulu, Tasha, & Crack. Today "Suesue" was scolding
"Tasha" for not having on her seat belt!

9. Nora talks in her sleep. She just woke herself up and came over to hug me. LOVE her!

10. This makes me happy. http://www.vw.com/routan/gallery/en/us/#/exterior/0/

I'm still here!

This is a blog post without pictures> BOO!

It's 1:30 in the afternoon, our first day of hotel life and Charlotte just kicked Nora. Not the first time and certainly not the last. I have them watching PBSkids. They're strangely hypnotized by Mr. Roger's right now.

Our house in Chesterfield, VA closed today and we're living in an extended living suite to finish off our schedule. We have dance recitals this weekend, preschool graduations next week, and a wedding Memorial Day weekend.

I took tons of photos of our quick trip to Fl last weekend. I'll be posting them as soon as I get settled in a new house.

In the meantime, I'll try to update as much as possible!

We're moving!

Sorry I've been absent and not posting, but we've sold our house! Very exciting because we are preparing to move! So the not so exciting part is that I am constantly packing! Boo.

I have probably 95% of the kitchen packed, everything we not selling on craigslist packed in the family, dining, living room, and study packed. I have started packing the girls bedrooms. We're in the midst of sorting out our children's books. I'm letting the girls decide which ones they want to sell and which ones they want to keep. What we don't keep or sell will all be going to charity.
I am dreading packing the playroom and I'm holding out on that because I don't want to pack that too soon because where would we be without our oasis of toys.
So packing has been eyeopening. Who knew we had glasses we could use as a straw? Or so many coffee mugs from Las Vegas? My personal favorite has been finding all these wooden salad bowls I forgot about. I know I'll NEED them someday, they're coming with me!

Something that is very meaningful right now.
