Well my dear friends, I have decided that this will be my last post here for a while. After Friday I will be without Internet for an undetermined amount of time (need to go to satellite service out in TX and I'm not sure how long it'll take to have someone come out and set us up).
I also know that my life is about to get busy, and things will be different. Once we arrive in Texas, of course there's all the unpacking to do and just getting settled. We'll be painting bedrooms, cleaning up the yard, and eventually painting the outside of the house. I'm home schooling the boys this coming year, so I need to get myself organized and ready for that. Once we do settle in a bit, I'll be tackling the extended outside area, specifically the garden, chicken coop, and barn. More or less in that order....!
I'm not going away forever, but I realize that my time will be limited for things like blogging, so I need to trim back and make some choices. I have made a few good friends here and look forward to reading your updates and seeing your pictures. But due to the nature of the turn our lives are taking, I'm going to go back to my homestead blog and do more posting over there. If any of you are interested in dropping in now and then, you can find me here.
Godspeed to all of you!

Friday Funnies
It's FRIDAY again!.....time to get your funny on!
Well here's one that's sure to get stuck in your head all day!!.....
(You're welcome! lol!!)
This-n-That Thursday
Another rather random day! Spent too much time on the computer this morning. Eventually I got out and got groceries, for which my family was eternally grateful..! lol! I did get some packing done. But not enough. Fortunately what's left is pretty easy, mostly books from the boy's shelves.
Tomorrow promises to be a BUSY day! In addition to finishing my packing goal, I'm meeting a friend for lunch, and have a sort-of lengthy list of cleaning type chores that need to be done in preparation for my in-law's arrival on Saturday morning!
"Shot from guns!", as MIL would say!
But it's a good thing....It's all in preparation for some very exciting new beginnings.

Wishful Wednesday!
I wish....
...that boxes could fill themselves.
...that my cats would find the pre-dawn hours as unsuitable a play-time as I do.
...that "dust bunnies" were simply dirty rabbits.
...that I could order food right in my kitchen just like the Jetsons.
...that there were more blogging hours in a day.
...that there were more FaceBook-ing hours in a day.
...that the Secret Chocolate Stash replenished itself magically.
...that I HAD a Secret Chocolate Stash!!
Hang in there!...the weekend's comin'!!

Tepid Tuesday
So today was...."ok." Not great, not awful. Tepid! I love that word. lol! I got more boxes packed, mostly in DS7's room. Also got some random household chores taken care of. I did not get out for my bike ride. I've been going to a local park about 5 days a week to ride the rec trail. It's a beautiful park and I love the ride. I will miss these parks when we go!
The culprit behind my less-than-stellar day?....
Waking up at 4:50am with a headache. And taking Excedrin for it. Which works like a miracle drug on my headaches but it also contains caffeine....
Thus began my day.

Marvelous Monday
Today was a productive day. I've set a mental goal for what I want done this week, and today I got a good chunk accomplished. Basically I'm taking one room at a time and packing away all the loose things that I will not need before we move. Today I got the dining room 100% done. Tomorrow I will tackle DS7's room. He seems to have the most "loose stuff."
My in-laws are arriving on Saturday, too, and will spend 4 days with us here in Florida to have some fun before we leave. We are planning a day at Busch Gardens, some mini-golf, a bunch of outings involving food (!!), and of course the beach. We haven't seen them in 4 months, so it'll be good to have this time. They hope to come to Texas in the fall for a longer visit.
And as if I didn't have enough on my plate right now, DS7 went and got a spider bite on his toe yesterday!! Life sure doesn't cut you any breaks, does it?! lol! He seems fine and I'm not too worried anymore. The top of his foot got a little red and a bit puffy, but overall he feels fine and is showing no other ill-effects. We looked at all manner of spider pictures on the Internet after it happened, but he couldn't identify one in particular. All he said is "It was red." Hmm.... I got nothin'!
Never a dull moment with boys! ;)

Blessed Sunday
Two weeks from today, we will be arriving in Texas. I'm very ready for this and cannot wait to settle into our new home! Of course we're still praying through the sale of our current home, but I can do nothing more than advertise it and the outcome is in Another's hands.
As I write this we are having one of our typical little pop-up thunder storms. On the local radar, it's a tiny spot of "yellow" and as usual, it's right over us! Go three blocks in either direction, and it's dry. Funny Florida weather...
We will head to church in a while, then spend the afternoon home. My dad is coming over and we're grilling lunch over charcoal. A friend of his passed away the other day and I think he's a little shaken up by it. We're glad to have him over for a while for some company! Later on we'll go to the beach. Trying to take advantage of that while we can!! Galveston will be about a 2-1/2 hour ride for us, so going to the beach will become a once-in-a-while outing and last all day.
Whatever this day holds for you, I hope it's a good one!
Blessings my friends....
