The Waiting Game
Max arrived safely home last night around 9 pm. We took him for a short walk around the block and he settled right into bed. This morning the boys and I took him for a much longer walk so he could get acclimated to his new surroundings. When little e gets home we'll make a trip to 7-11 with Max in tow for Slurpees. Much to Duncan's disgust I told him he'll be partaking of our walks with Max every day. Considering how much he bitched about the hills I'd say he needs it.
The bulk of our day has been spent at the house waiting for UPS to deliver Duncan's Xbox 360. He got the red ring of death finally and had to send it to Microsoft for repair. We've been told the UPS delivery person must have a signature so we've stuck close to home. I'm officially ready for that trip for Slurpees.

Strangers in a Strange Land
Finally here in the rainy Pacific Northwest. The day we arrived they were in the midst of a heat wave. I'll admit it wasn't too hot to us. Just a little stuffy in the un-airconditioned houses.
Tonight Max (our dog) arrives. There was a mix up with the tickets and he wasn't able to get on the plane with us Saturday. I was quite upset but at least I was able to leave him with his pal Hoss for a few days and today the two moms took him to the airport. I'm sure he'll be happy to be here with us and get used to his new surroundings. This past week has thrown him for a loop.

Ready to Move
Yesterday I had a lot to do. It was the first day for the packers to be at the house and I was busy making sure I had the items I wanted to send ahead via UPS. Duncan and I were also kept busy unhooking electronics and bagging up cords. Junk drawers were sorted and bagged up . Today I had very little to do as the two gals who are packing up my house worked their asses off. Not that I'm complaining. It's really nice having someone pack for you.
We're spending one more night in the house. Cable (and our internet connection) isn't being shut off until tomorrow so I figured what the heck, let's take advantage of that and give my dad a day's grace from the disruption of his routine.

Two weeks to go....
My weekend is finally over and with it the going away party I was dreading. It was actually quite fun but that wasn't why I was dreading it. I absolutely hate saying goodbye. I did okay until I had to say goodbye to my aunt and cousin who drove up from Lawton. That's the last time I'll see them for awhile and it hit me hard. Thank goodness the kids spent the night away from home and I was able to indulge in some sadness by myself. Hard to keep up appearances in front of kids who are sad themselves.

I really do like my van.
It gets reasonably good gas mileage for a car its size, it's got working air conditioning, I can seat my children far apart, it's easy to drive, it's great for vacation trips...but I absolutely hate how dirty it gets. Since it's larger than your average car the kids think it's okay to treat the car as an extension of their rooms. My oldest son even felt it was a great place to lose our cordless phone for a week.
Today I spent several hours getting trash and toys out of the van. I vacuumed and washed nooks and crannies. I also scrubbed out the cupholders in the back seat. I don't know why but Duncan can't seem to get it through his head that his mom absolutely hates gunk in the cup holders. I've asked him to clean up messes he makes back there to no avail. After today's clean out I told him if he makes a mess back there again and doesn't clean it up he'll be grounded from anything electronic for a week. The kiss of death to him for sure. Hope it works.
