Ah, the military move

If you will notice tothe right it says that my location is "soon to be Fort Bragg area, NC".  Well, that apparently is going to be a lot sooner than we thought.  We finally got our orders yesterday.  Then the hubby texts me and says that the movers may be coming next week (15 Feb).  Seriously?  I'm trying not to freak out.  Afterall I really don't have to touch a thing.  Very nice burly government contracted movers come into our home and pack up everything in one day, come back the next day and load it on the truck and wave as they make their way to our next home. 

Since my husband will only be in the Ft Bragg area for a little while before he flies back to Texas for school I'm thinking I will need to prep for packing that way when the other very nice burly government contracted movers show up in NC to unpack, it will be a more organized process.  My type A personality is totally up for the challenge and foaming at the mouth to organize.  However, my stick to routine mommy personality is hiding in a corner in the fetal position when I think about the boys during this entire process.  The packing  day will be hectic.  Maybe the boys and I can go to the park or a bar or something while Jamie supervises the movers.  Cleaning day, will be awesome because the boys will have free reign of the house and can't get into anything since there will be nothing left to get into.  And let's face it, those of you who know me know I live to clean stuff.

Then there is the almost 22 hour drive across the country to consider.  I hate hotels, they gross me out.  With the boys it will take us all three days we are authorized, whereas if it were just Jamie and I, we'd be done in a day and a half.

Oh PS-we don't have a house in NC yet.  No big deal.  So anyway all projects I had planned for the next several weeks have come to a screeching halt.  I will be sure to document the move, post pics and complain about the seemingly ever shrinking space of the van as the trip goes on.

Gotta keep my eyes on the prize, right?  Getting out of Texas!  What am I doing blogging, I need to get my arse in gear!  More later...
