Hi ladies,


How is everyone doing? I am doing so-so. I am running around getting things done that need to be done before I leave. I have a list a half mile long of stuff that has to be done to the house for our inspections. Petty little things, like making sure there is not one bit of lint in the dryer. The washer, dryer, and fridge have to be moved out and cleaned underneath. The floors can't have a bit of dirt on them,the windows and screens have to be clean. The list goes on.


Normally I would be up to the challenge. Right now I am not. My shoulders,neck,knees and arms are killing me. My arms are weak. Just holding a soda can feels like I am holding a 20 lb weight.
I called my primary, and am waiting on a call back. The girls are out of school next week for the summer, and I am trying to get all of the heavy stuff done before then, because I know I won't have the time to get it done with them home all day.


Well I think that is enough whining from me. I have dinner to finish.
Thanks for reading my whine.
I hope everyone is doing better than I am.


Love and hugs to all,

I am praying you feel better. Just take one day at a time and you will get it all done. What is the date when you leave?

Hugs,
Vicki

((((((((((( Cyndi ))))))))))))), I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, especially now when you have so much to do to get ready for the move.

Hi Vicki,


Thank you for the hugs.
The girls and I leave early morning on the 30th.
I just re-read the list and we have to make sure our parking slot is clean too. Sheesh!! It is outside with all kinds of construction going on and it has to be clean.


I am going to get all of this done. I don't have much of a choice. How are you feeling? How is your neck?
(((((Vicki)))))

Hi Molly,


Thank you for the hugs. :)
I have thought of having someone come in. Don't know if I will or not. I want to see how much I can do myself. The things they want done I can understand. What I don't get is that they want us to do all of these things, and after the house is empty they have a cleaning contractor come in and re-clean it. Makes no sense to me. I understand that they want to make sure that the house is clean and in good repair for the next family. I just don't understand why we have to do all of these things. This has been the most strict base housing I have been in. They are anal.


Ok I have to stop typing, my arms are starting to feel like jello that is melting.
How are you doing?
Thank you for the support. (((((Molly)))))

Hi Bev,


Thank you for the hugs. I guess I am just frustrated and annoyed. There really is a lot to do, and I am running out of days. Only 21 left until we leave. I managed to get some scrubbing done yesterday. Took an hour, but it

When you move is over and all that stuff over & done with you will just HAVE to treat yourself to a day off. Out for lunch, take in a movie, buy takeaway for tea & get into a nice hot bath then off to bed bed with a book to read.

( I thought my days & nights of being a slave to the housework & kids would never end,) but I sat at the table tonight with my hubby again tonight, just us. Craig off with his mates for 3 nights of I-dont-want - to know. & Gabrielle, home from school for 20 mins then shes gone too for 2 days. John & I had fish for tea, he washed his plate, I washed mine & the kitchen was done. I knitted a few rows of another scarf & he fell asleep on the lounge, sometimes I miss the absolute beddlam which ruled our house every morning & from 4pm till 8 pm every night plus the constant mess & picking up

Every mum with Ra deserves an absolute gold medal, because it is harder by a long shot. You should be proud of yourself, because you always come across as a very capable loving mother & wife. love lell.

Hi Molly,


I am sure that the walk was worth overdoing it a little. I love walking, and have been trying to do a little bit a day. I managed to get the stove clean yesterday, but have yet to do anything today. We have a birthday party to go to for one of our neighbors upstairs. :( I am not in the mood to be social, but I know it would mean a lot to them since we are leaving so soon. I went up there to help her decorate. Now I am about to lay down because I did too much. I sent Rick to the commissary because I didn't think I could do all the walking around.


We had a couple of days of good weather. In the 70's and 80's. Now we are back to being in the low-mid 60's and raining. :( It is in the 80's almost 90's in South Carolina so I am in for one heck of a climate change. LOL


What are your plans for this weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. :) (((((Molly)))))
Love and hugs,

Hi Lell,


My treat is getting on a plane and getting out of here. LOL All of this work will be worth it, once we get settled into our new house in Georgia. I am thinking of having a massage. I don't know if it will do more harm than good though. It sounded like despite the quiet you had a good night. Sometimes the silence is uncomfortable because you are used to the sounds of kids going about their routines. Every once in a while it is nice though. ;)


Thank you for the compliments. :) I try to be a good wife and mother. We all do.
What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a good one. :)
Take care. (((((Lell)))))
