Too much to do... not enough time to "git-r-dun!"

Wow... I never realized how much work it is to get everything done when you have to relocate the entire family in one fell swoop. We're making progress though and I think we'll be okay by the time M day comes...

We had a huge garage sale yesterday. It threatened to rain all day, but never actually did. In fact, the sun finally broke through the "May Gray" just as we were moving everything back into the garage. (Whew!) We had a good turnout and more important than making money: we moved a lot of stuff we didn't want to move. Most of what went was baby related, and since we're done with that phase of our lives (knock on wood) then we offered up clothes and strollers and toys to other families who might need some of it.

Let me tell you... I didn't ask directly, but advertising WORKS! We had an add in the paper that ran Thurs-Sat and although only one guy specifically stated, "Your ad said..." I'm sure others at least stopped by to see what we had based on that.

We'll do it all again next weekend, then DAV will probably get a call to come pick stuff up. If not them, there's Operation Homefront, GoodWill, Salvation Army, and others who will make good use of stuff that is just taking up space in our garage.

So that's moving... I'm so far behind in my current class that I seriously doubt I'll be able to get a passing grade. That sucks because then I'll have to repay the tuition assistance and this is not a good time for that.

The summer season is typically "moving season" for the military and our unit is no different. We just got a new SgtMaj. We're getting a new CO and XO later and there's such a huge turnover going on that it wouldn't surprise me if I get skipped. The last plaque I received was the last time I was in the band... That was 10 years ago! (I'm not bitter... just annoyed.)

Well, I can hear the kids moving and we have to get ready for church this morning, so I guess that's all the time I have for now. It's a good thing I can type so fast or else I'd never get a word in edge wise. =) Have a great length of time and I'll try to update more regularly. I'll just add that to the list...
