Hold, please.
An update: we will finally get email on the 10th of November. Hopefully. Did I already tell you that? I can’t go to my site to check, and it’s so long between entries right now I can’t remember what I last wrote.
So! The big move! We woke up early on Friday, sent the girls off to school, and headed over to the house, where….we found they were STILL WORKING ON IT! Holy crap! I mean, NO bedroom door, NO roof on the shed or carport…I panicked immediately, because our loaner furniture was on it’s way, and we needed the keys to that house…hold on a minute…
…sorry, I just had to meet my new Chief, who WALKED IN WHILE I WAS POSTING AT WORK. God. I’m going to get fired. Oh wait, I can’t be. Anyway. Where was I? So, the house wasn’t ready, but it didn’t matter because we still got the keys. It was just chaos for a few hours, while we had construction workers, household goods movers, AND loaner furniture movers in there all at the same time. Finally, though, everyone was finito, and we were able to check it out. And make a list of everything we needed to buy, because hello 220 volt electricity. Which…yeah. Good thing our escrow just closed. Jeez.
Anyway, we took some pictures, but of course that does nobody any good, because there is no way to post them. You will just have to use your imagination. Three stories. You’ll see. Soon. Really.
We spent the entire weekend doing house stuff, including sweeping like 5826 times, and Monday the girls rode the bus to school for the FIRST TIME EVER, and I was panicked and stressed and almost threw up for eight hours straight until we walked down and met them at the end of the day. Of course, it was all unnecessary, because they are not small children, and totally competent. Or so they tell me.
Today at work I was welcomed in to the Circle of Trust. This involved being invited to the daily ritual of walking to the coffee shop for a coffee. I had to pay, but now I am A Part of the Team. I got a double espresso, because I figure they are going to have to deal with ME sooner or later, and it’s better if they just experience it now. Less shocking that way.
I haven’t said so yet, but it is very, very nice to be back with my family. Life is good for ammogirl (except the lack of internet).
Lunch is over. Time to go to work.
Tschuss!
