Just when I thought that I "did good" by scheduling the dental appointments for tomorrow - I tell daughter about what happened and she let me know that she can't miss tomorrow because she has a big science exam tomorrow at 8:30 am. Yup, my life is nonstop succession of little emergencies. So tomorrow at 7:30 am I have to call the dental clinic and cancel the double appointment. There are days when I shouldn't even try to get out of bed...this is one of them!
At least the move is still on and we are still scheduled to get the keys on Monday and the movers show up on Tuesday and Wednesday!

you know that you have too much going on when?
When you forget your daughter has a dental appointment...TODAY! Good thing I was able to reschedule it for tomorrow. If I couldn't then it would have had to wait 3 more weeks because of MY schedule-ugh!!!
What can I say about...
how insane the next couple of weeks will be for me.
Take yesterday for instance- child #1 misses the bus, spouse and I are scheduled to be in attendance at another military installation for a Remembrance Day event (husband is part of the event). Our time line changed because our of son and we had to step everything up. I hate getting ready in a rush, something is always forgotten or skipped- this time is was us getting something to eat or drink-ugh! After getting Andrew to school late, we ended up spending 2½ hours on the road yesterday before getting to where "we" needed to be. After all that, we were back home by 1pm and we were both exhausted! I had to take a nap, I could hardly keep my eyes open after all of our running around.
Tuesday's Spouses club meeting wet well, we had 5 more ladies in attendance. The club is getting off to a good start (at least I think so). Now for the word to get out and to gain more members. There are things that I would love to do with our group, but alas we need more members if we are to be able to have the social groups such as book club, lunch bunch, scrapbooking, bunco and especially when it comes to volunteering as a group at RAF Croughton.
Today- I'll be spending today making desserts for the Saturday and Sunday events I'm attending. A couple of cheesecakes, some carrot cake, gingerbread cookies and a pound cake. Just call me the baking queen!
Now for my "other news", we got the word and now we're moving in EARLIER into our house!!! Am I excited? You bet I am! But that in its self also causes some other issues to arise, like getting the cable and phone line switched over to the new house which is only up the street and around the corner. BT internet wants 14 businesses days- get real! Sometimes these moves take place in a blink of an eye for military families, we shouldn't be punished because we've waited 7½ months to get our permanent house. Hopefully my husband will have time to work on all of this today. I've got TMO bringing over the furniture on Wednesday/Thursday- was supposed to be Tuesday/Wednesday with the keys in our hands on Monday but that changed because of the AFN being installed on Tuesday (whatever!). Just don't make me move in the week of Thanksgiving is all I ask! As it is, my husband won't be able to be there or to help me with the move - so what's new? LOL! I've got a couple of terrific girlfriends that I can call on to help me out there if I need it :-)
Now for me to start getting things ready for transport over to the new house. My mind is going off in 20 different directions.
I just realized that I need about 2 dozen eggs for my mondo baking session today, and wouldn't you know it- not a single egg to be had in the house! Now to get dressed and buy some eggs!

Venice
What can I say about my weekend trip to venice...PLENTY! It was just as beautiful as I had always imagined it would be. Pictuesque beauty abounds in Venice.

Venice Bound!
I'm leaving in an hour for Venice! When I get back I'll tell you all about it! I'm also bringing alone a little companion who frequently goes on trips with me, it's Wilson the Travel Pig. He's been to many an exotic place, places where no other travel pigs have been (none that we know of anyway).
Once in the new house I can get to work on making Wilson's travel album with pictures of him on various vacations with us. I'll call it...The adventures of Wilson or something along that line :-)

one more day!
I'm now down to counting down the hours until I leave tomorrow. I'm sooo ready for a mini-vacation, heck I'm ready for a long vacation but that will have to wait.
The new commander and his wife moved into their new to them home which means it's only a short wait until we're in ours! I saw the new appliances...oooh I hope that we get some like theirs! I'm worthy, I'm worthy!!!!
Did the pre-inspection of our house today, everything went swimmingly! So we'll be completely out of here in 18 days!
Now for me to get some things done around here before I leave tomorrow!

Anticipation...
November is a month where I wait...
* for the days to pass until I leave on my trip to Venice (only 2 more)
*for the keys to our newly renovated house (16 more days)
*to get all of our household goods (18 and 19 more days)
I seem to spend a lot of time "waiting". I only hope that what I'm waiting for is worth the wait.

The "things" that make me laugh
I can't help but to laugh at some people, I'm serious...the stupid things that people do or don't do in this case make me wonder how they ever got this far in life. An acquaintance of mine through church has been complaining up a storm about the not getting her mail...this story made me laugh! so here goes...(Oh in her own words no less). AND this story has been on the internet...she's is angry and is venting up a storm, I feel sorry for the poor souls living in their old house.
Wish those darn people that live in our old house would give us our mail when it comes in instead of 1 1/2 months later. Now I have to go and talk to the school for (child's name here) place next year because we missed the open house for her.
place a comment here made by another person which had nothing to do with the original post
(Place name of base here). And to top it all off is that the guy works with (place husbands name here) so there is no reason he could not bring the mail to (husbands name here) at work.
I've got some easy solutions for this...How about changing your address with the school and other local places that send mail to your house? You could also place a forwarding address at the post office. And while you're at it, YOU could also arrange to stop by once a week and pick up your mail at your old house. So, as I see it and most others will agree... this is not someone else's responsibility, it's your mail and hence forth YOUR responsibility.

My first thought when I read this was ... why is it someone else's responsibility to bring you YOUR mail? And here's my answer...

I'm telling you, some people are all about putting the blame on someone else when they should be taking responsibility for their own actions or in this case the lack there of. The situation here is one that did not need to happen. What if no one moved into the old house? Hmm, interesting because then there would be no one to blame.

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
