We're Not in Kansas Anymore

Well it seems that the haze I was in is over because my hubby has actually set a date for when we'll be in St. Louis. It looks like March 17th will be my last day in the "great" northwest. I can't say that I'm sad to be leaving Washington because, I ain't. *chuckle* Not to say that I'm just jumping for joy to be relocating AGAIN because I'm not. I'm just excited for the new possibilities. Not to mention there seems to be waaaaay more folks of color than where we are now, which is DEEP in MicroSoft country and I mean DEEP.

So it's off to the the midwest, some place I've NEVER been. The cost of living seems to be alot cheaper than Washington and California so that's a plus. Once we get acclimated to the area, I'm really hoping we'll be able to buy a home. I always said that I wanted to live in all these different places but I was 22 years old and had never lived outside of the Bay Area, let alone Cali. And I didn't have any children. Well honey, let me tell you. Moving from place to place and state to state with babies - AIN'T FUN. It's nothing adventurous and is something I wouldn't wish on an enemy if I had one. It really takes a toll on you. And trying to figure out a dayum area via the internet and maps is not what I'd consider ideal. You know? So I really want this last move to be "the one." As in, the one that the hubby LOVES so we can settle in the St. Louis area and just be there. Not that I couldn't move to another state, but dayum I'd at least like to give it 5 years or more.

So the movers are coming on Thursday to give us an estimate on moving a 4 bed 2 bath home, plus the sh*t in the garage (the truck included) and some sh*t we still have in storage. I'm hoping this move will smooth and nothing like what happened when we moved to Washington cuz I don't know if I could take it. At least I'm not pregnant *chuckle* Not saying that's bad, but you know the last 2 times we have moved I have been VERY pregnant. Not fun!

Seeing as we're gonna be moving rather quickly, I'm trying to use as much food in the frig as I can without resorting to throwing that sh*t way. That would be such a waste. And I doubt I could give it to the 3 people I actually know in Washington because ain't too many folks down with "veggie burgers" and veganish like foods. *sigh* And I really don't want to waste that sh*t. We did that before cuz there was no one to take it. . . .Ohhhh I think I'm starting to have the moving jitters and we ain't even got started yet. Okay, let me run and start trying to take these dayum pictures off the wall so I can have all our picture hangers in one place. I ain't even gonna tell you how long it took to find all the different places the packers put our sh*t. It's a nice idea to have someone else pack. But ain't nobody gonna pack your sh*t the way you would. No matter how professional they say they are.

I'm off for now.
