Still Here.....

Ok....so it's 3:37pm on Saturday August 28th....and we're still in our Chestermere house. Trying not to panic as all the people with the control on this situation are telling me and confirming that we will be in our new house before school starts....even though that is in 3 days...so I continue to clean, pack and organize as to not drive myself crazy with the waiting.

Went to the kids new schools on Thursday. Cole, Emilie, Morgan, Zachary & Brooklyn are attending Bearspaw School. It's a K-8 that although, is not far from our new house, the kids get bused. So the 3 full day kids get bused to and from and Zachary & Brooklyn are in afternoon kindergarten so I drive them at noon and then catch the bus home at the end of the day with the older kids. Very nice for me! Way better than the craziness of this past school year...different kids, different schools, different drop off and pick ups....yikes! Glad that's over!!
Cody will be attending Cochrane High....and obviously getting bused. Both schools look amazing and I'm quite impressed with them so far. Hopefully this upcoming week will go smoothly of all the kids starting school.
On top of packing, cleaning, organizing....Keith is still having to work out in BC every weekend...which makes things 'interesting'.
So now we wait....we are as packed as we can get without moving the furniture out into the yard. Just need a set of house keys and to call the moving truck.....sounds easy doesn't it?

Taking A Break.......

With only a week (give or take a day) until moving day.....you'd think I'd be up to my eyeballs in boxes, bubble wrap & packing tape...but, I need a break so it's off for a couple days of camping we go!

Keith has to go back to BC to work again this weekend....so the kids and I are tagging along. Considering how much I still have to do here.....is it crazy to go away for a few days...meh! I need a break and if I stay here and just tell myself to take a day off, it wont happen. So, we're physically removing ourselves from the scene of all the work and going to play on the beach for a few days.

So the motorhome is packed....and it's pouring rain here at home. But where we're heading, it's calling for +30's all weekend! YA BABY!!

Gettin' Ready

Hard to believe that the move is only 15 days away.... part of me is impressed that I have as much done already as I do...other part of me is freaking out about how much is left to do....oh well, it will all get done.

There should be no more interruptions with the packing...no more visits, company, trips for K...so it should be full steam ahead.

So looking forward to T & C's wedding this weekend!!! I'm so proud of the two of them for standing by how they feel and what they want in life. They've been through so much and it will be an awesome day to see them finally get the happiness that they have had to fight so hard to get. Love you guys!

Well better get back to the cleaning & packing....I'll keep ya posted!
