Does it EVER Slow Down

Well howdy! So, we still have a computer. Brian decided to keep it here for the next shipment. I was actually looking forward to not having it anymore, thought its absence would help in slowing things down. Ah well since it is here, I am using it now too. So what is new.... ummmm almost all of my stuff is gone, which is great. Somehow mysteriously my house still gets cluttered. Maybe that is because nothing has a "home" so it just goes wherever. I did make a big mistake though. I shipped ALL of our coats. It was REALLY warm here and we were tired when we decided to just keep thick sweatshirts for everybody. Well guess what, this week it is supposed to snow (hasn't snowed all winter, but this week, after I ship our winter coats it will). I don't get cold so I am good, but our friend Dara has lent us jackets and hats and gloves for the kids. Which is great because I can't even go to the PX to buy any cause they aren't selling them anymore. So a big THANK YOU DARA!!!

Our Vehicle was shipped last Monday and once again Dara is being a GREAT friend and has lent us her van (she has another vehicle for her family). For the most part we walk everywhere, but when we need to drive, it fits us all.

We only have 23 days left in Germany and I am feeling the pressure of all I need to do before then. For example, the military only paints houses every 3 years. Since we have been in Germany they have moved us into three different homes. We have only been in this one for a little over a year, so it is NOT scheduled for repainting. That means we have to paint, or pay for damages (nothing is damaged, but obviously the walls don't look freshly painted). We have decided not to stress too much so we are going to go ahead and pay them to paint, but it costs more if all the holes from hanging pictures are still present. So, we are going to fill all the little holes and the couple of big ones from our larger paintings that hang. Also, there is HUGE calcium build up from the calcium filled water here and I gotta scrape it off the fixtures in the bathrooms and kitchen. Other than that though, there is not much that needs done to the house, just a sweep. Actually after really thinking about what I have to do, it doesn't really amount to much...LOL. Maybe I am so used to being busy, my mind can't accept chilling out...LOL.

Well, I was about to add more pictures to the picture page, but I just discovered that while I have my camera, Brian shipped the cord to attach to the computer. This means I am gonna have to buy 1-2 more memory cards to take pictures while we move. Lovely...LOL. Ah well, at least we didn't ship the passports...LOL!!!

So no new pictures until May, unless I go to the picture place and get them to transfer the pictures to a disk.....hmmmmm... I may do that. Well, thanks for listening to me ramble!!!!

Ummm... I hope you don't accidentally throw away anything you need today!!!
