School is out

Today was the last day of School !!! I am excited but the girls took it very hard. I am liking not having to wake up early and having them home to help me with all of this.

Back to catching up on everything else now that we have the puppies. James finished looking at all the houses and we made a decision. I am not too excited any more but I want the move over with so we can all be together again. We picked the only thing available in the time we need it and the better of the neighborhoods. It is the one that James said he does not think will fit all my furniture. James keeps trying to make me feel better by pointing out that it will only be for a year.

At any rate, we will be in Sturtevant which is a village in Racine County. It is just outside of town and where the rural area begins. We decided to stay outside of Milwaukee.

We have not gotten much more done for the move. We have been busy with the puppies and Noelle and Nicole are both depressed about leaving friends. They usually do the same stages. First we ask them what they think and they say they want to move and they are all excited about it. Then the last week they get depressed. As we are moving they like the adventure of moving. A week after the move they get depressed again and then they meet friends and are happy again.

This time we are moving during the summer so it might be harder to find friends. Plus Noelle has an actual best friend now that she talks to nonstop. We do have friends there from before and a few of them have kids so I hope they will be able to keep busy. Noelle is doing her last sleep over with her best friend tonight. Her friend goes on vacation the next day so this will be the last time she sees her.

Noelle spent all last night searching the house for things she could give her friend as gifts to remember her by. She is taking this very hard now and cried most the night.

Hopefully we can get our butts in gear tomorrow so we can catch up on things. We have set back our moving day so that helps. The house we picked has the earliest move in date, but it is still not early enough. The owner said she does not think she could possibly have it ready before next Saturday or Sunday.

I am assuming that means she has to paint it and does not want to until Saturday. So I am figuring on Sunday to move in. Problem being we made these plans awhile ago. So, James has a flight to Tucson this Sunday morning and he has to be at work in Wisconsin Saturday morning.

Since we can't get into the house right away we are delaying leaving until we have to so this way we will most likely avoid extra day charges for the truck. The truck rental gives us 6 days so if we can't unload it until Sunday we do not want to go over the days allowed. We are already paying $1700 for the darn thing.

So I changed pick up of the truck to Tuesday. That way James comes back Sunday and we will have more time to get things ready and cleaned. We will pick up the truck Tuesday to fill it and rest over night before heading out Wednesday morning. That should get us to Wisconsin some time Friday so James can work the next morning. However that means we won't have a house yet and we will have to stay in a hotel with the dogs and puppies 2 more nights. That would bring us to a total of 4 nights in hotels. I hope they never notice we have the puppies.

The 2 dogs are no problem (other than $20 more a night). I don't know what we are going to do with ourselves Saturday. After sitting in a car for 3 days everyone is going to be stir crazy and not want to just sit in a hotel, but we can not leave the dogs alone.

I wish this was all over with. I need to just worry about one thing at a time. So right now I am going to try to just worry about getting all this packed and cleaned.


Countdown ...
3 Days Until James Is Back
5 Days Until We Have To Pack The Truck
6 Days Until We Start The Drive
8 Days Until We Arrive In Wisconsin
10 Days Until We Move Into The House.
