We made it to Texas and await to get our keys in the AM. I was to late getting into town today to get the keys but that is alright. I would rather sleep on a bed than the floor. I am exhuasted but very happy to be here.

As it gets closer to Hubby coming home I begin to think if things will be better or worse or the same. I know things will be better in the area of kidos but as a couple I wonder. I need to stop worring about that. It will do nothing but to make me think of the worst possible thing that could happen.

We are waiting for pizza. All 4 younger Kiddos have had a bath. I am hoping they will go to be d early so I can get soem rest. I can't wait to see the new homestead. It is brick built with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The picture I saw was nice but who knows what the inside is like. It should not be to bad since it is only 3 years old.

I am off to calm the Kiddos and eat my pizza.

Well we are on the road. I am exhuasted and so worn out. The mover was a couple of hours late. Then they show up and it is one guy. Yes one guy. Then it was with a very small truck. I know I told them it was a two bedroom townhouse with a two car garage. Oh well. I had to leave alot and was not to happy about it. I am not going to say anything til I have my stuff. I do not want them to hold anything hostage. I do want what we were able to take with us. Oh well. I wanted a new start and I am getting it.

The kiddos are doing pretty good consdering what has happened in the last few days. Bulley was very clinging. He knew something was going on and would not let go of me at all. TheBaby was pretty good. Sweets was a great help. Bubby Lee my 5 year old was the same. Just ready to be in our new home. Big Man was awesome. He helped the mover get our things on thr truck and did not complain. He tore things down and carried huge heavy things around. He made me proud.

This is all for tonight. Bulley is ready for bed as am I. I am off hope to post some more soon.

Ohhhhhhhh my goodness!!!!!!!!! I am hurting!!!!!!!! The joys of packing. A few guys at church last night were cracking jokes and such about the way I was walking. My legs are so sore. I am almost done though. I did get the stereo packed away and in boxes to take with me. That is one thing I will not allow the movers to take. Hubby would have a heart attack if something happened to it. I also got most of the kitchen done with the helpof friends. Today was supposed to be laundry day and packing the suitcase. I have skipped that and will do that this afternoon. I needed to rest. Buddy Lee my 5 year old was able to stay at our friend's house last night. He wanted to spend some time with Aunt B. He loves them so much. Tonight the Sweetness will b e going over for one more last night with her Aunt B. The kids are doing great. But I am beginning to wonder if they will start to show how hard this move really is on them once we get away. I know I am having a very hard time with it now. Even with it being a few days out I am starting to see how many people I have in my life already who love me and will miss me and the Kiddos. I still know I am doing the right thing. It was easy to make friends here it will be easy to make friends in Texas. No matter what goes through my mind and how freaked out I get to be driving the truck across country with no return date I still can sleep better at night and know that this is the right hting for us. Not everyone knows what is going on in our lives 100% but us so they can not say a thing about us taking off. I have to go and feed the Baby. He just woke up from a nap and is wanting to nurse. Then I will move on with my mission and accomplish what I need to today. So tomorrow morning I can clean up and spend Friday getting the truck ready to hit the road.

Well Hubby and I had a blow out this morning. It was over something stupid really. After being apart for so long everything is stupid I guess. Long story short after about 10 minutes of going back and forth a truce was called and nothing decided. It is weird having a fight online. It is so much easier to take something the wrong way. Oh Well!!! All is well for now. We are going to make real efforts when Hubby is home. To hard to do with about 12000 miles between us and a couple of bodies of water. :) Yesterday was good. I got to have Panda Express for my Birthday lunch and went window shopping. The kids sang Happy Birthday to me on my voicemail because my phone dropped the call. They all had a blast with the Nana. The Nana was worried about the Bully. He is just 2 years old. He had no problems without me all night. I know as long as he is with the 3 older Kiddos he is all good. We call the 2 year old many names but Bully does not sound so mean. We call him things like this because he looks and acts like one. He is mean and will shove you around and beat you till he gets what he wants. He also is my DareDevil. He will climb up the stairs to go down head first on his belly. He has no fear of anything. I am hoping that he will out grow this. But my heart tells me NOT!!!! He is going to be like this for life. It could be a good thing. I pray I have enough energy to deal with it and help him to learn how to use it the right way. We are down to about 7 more weeks till Hubby is home. This week is the last week for mail. He is not sure of the day so he asked I not send him anything. I did not get his VDay Card out so he gets it when he gets home in March. I am off to take a shower. I just finished the garage. I have it all completely packed now and pretty much staged to go. Tomorrow two friends and I will finish off the inside of the house and I am done. I already have the paper cups and plates all I need now are the plasticware. Saturday is the day of the movers and I can't wait. It will be so much fun and an adventure for the kiddos and I. Anyhoo before I ramble so more I am off to the shower so I can be clean.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!

I am another year older. I am going to try and make the best of this one. Last year Hubby left on my birthday to marry up with the unit he is now with. It was a horrible day last year. This year I went out for the best BBcue and then some retail therapy. I am trying to stay postive. Just so many personal things going on that I am almost ready to scream leave me alone and let me live my life. ut of course me being the good girl I am will not do that. I think I have figured out why my hair is coming out more so than usual. It is the stress of everything going on. I had a perm done a week ago and I am still pulling out hair. It is kinda gross. But then I thought of my life for the last few monthes and realized that it is all stress. And probly becasue I did not have it trimmed in so long. Who knows. At least I am not gray. I am going to enjoy this blog. It is really good to get somethings out and once I figure out how to add links and customize my page I will be doing that. I am not going to stress it till I get to Texas. I am off to chat with the Hubby. Hopefully his power will stay up long enough to make it a good one.

These two are the only ones I have tonight. It is a blessing not to have the older ones but man these two will wear me out.

We are aout a month out from having our new home set up and ready for Jerry's return. I have heard many many different reasons why I am moving and none of them come close. At times I wish family would just keep their comments to themselves and be happy that Jerry and I wil be together raising our kiddos. We are not in the business of making others happy. I run my house how I see fit and others can take flying leap.

I am off to get these two ready for bed and maybe have a hot bath tonight. We will see.
