Blogging while sitting in the counselor's office with 3/4 Pint on my cell phone LOL. I have been a bit busy, not to mention busy...busy...busy, and a bit philosophical of late.

Overall, life continues to treat me wonderfully. As I am frequently known to say...I love my life, however, there are occasionally parts of it that really suck. Those parts however do not belong in today's blog.

Happy Mother's Day to all who mother!!

Since this can, and often does include those who have not actually given birth or adopted...I just say to anyone who mother's.

Well, having climbed out of the tree's, we are a mobile society now, and, like anyone else, my life too is mobile.

We are, in a word, moving again. Yes readers. Again.

Cop, 3/4's dad got transferred to California, leaving end of this month. Nursey does not want the house. VERY soft real estate market means they would probably not be able to sell it, it is a bit overpriced for the market.

So, enter stage left.....we will assume the mortgage which gives me time to file the bankruptcy and build my credit back up from the ravages of Calamity and her husband's damages.

Meanwhile, back at the old farmstead, I will miss lots of things.

And, there are some I will not miss LOL. At the new house, there is a huge fenced in backyard, large enough for a pool, trampoline, swingset and still have running room for Monster. I can put in a cat door for the cats and small dogs to enter and exit as nature prompts.


There are only two bedrooms, BUT there is also a partially finished basement, part of which will be a playroom. There is enough room (barely) in the attic bedroom for three twin beds. Yes, three. 3/4 will most likely be staying with us through the end of the next school year. She has calmed down a lot, and that will give us more time to settle her and for her Mom to get on her feet, find the perfect job and save up to buy a house.

Since we have the playroom and the back yard, I think it will all work out just fine.

It will be a bit weird having a small bathroom. I can truthfully say I am not especially looking forward to only one traditional bathroom. There IS a shower, toilet and small sink in the basement however. So at least there are two places to pee LOL.

The landscaping is even mostly done!! There are actually three porch's to decorate around, with one of them being the size of a florida room, only not made into a florida room yet if you get what I mean?

So, I will be packing madly the next few weeks. I am looking forward to being back in the land of lightening fast FIOS and away from satellite Internet, which SUCKS!!

I am however, migrating the DISH to the new house. The cable system there does not have BBC or Hist Int and DH and I have decided we can't live without either one as those are about the only two channels we actually watch LOL.

My nephew (son to Uncle Brother who visited last month) has been here this week. He is quite awesome and everyone loves him to death. I had not seen him since he was four years old!!

It is way less stressful having him here than it was his Dad. I thought about it last night. I think it is because there is no baggage attached to Nephew. I didn't grow up with him, had no preconceived notions about him, and no history to remember, other than he was a curly haired, cute as hell, little boy. He has grown (age 28) into a wonderful man who has served his country, succeeded, overcome huge obstacles in life and prospered emotionally and financially. But, more than that, he is just a plain old awesome person!!

Busy week ahead. Must start to pack. And then transport all the shit over to the new house. My plan is to pack the stuff we don't need here, or there right away, and take boxes over with me every trip into town. Works in theory, we shall see how it works in reality???

Got to spend a lovely day at the park with the girls on Saturday. They had a blast playing in the creek. I took a video, but all of a sudden, my computer doesn't recognize the file format from the videos I take on my phone....

grrrrr. Gremlins again.

I just figured out, I need THREE DVR boxes from Dish for the new house. Six freakin TV's. And, the funny part is, we don't actually watch that much TV...but we DO DVR a lot of shows LOL.

Such is life.
