Signed, Sealed, Delivered
It's official. Everything went very smoothly this morning as we closed on our home in Chelsea. We now have until Sunday at noon to be completely out. Which honestly as I have taken these past two weeks to clean out, sort through, and box up, well let's just say I'm ready for our cruise!!
I was asked the question this week, are you sad? Sad about what was my response? Leaving my house? No, not at all. When we bought this house it was a great thing for us, a great "step up" from a worldly view. Do I have any sentimental ties with it? No. Yes I brought my daughter home to this house, but each of my kids came home from the hospital in a different vehicle to a different house. It's not like all three came home to this one. There are many things I would change about this house and many things I would keep the same. I have lots of memories here, but those I'm taking with me. Now my neighbors (some anyway) I'll miss, but I'll just have to make more of an effort to keep in touch. One is actually a cop in East Lake that works night shift, isn't God great :)
Now, don't get me wrong there are things that will be missed.
I may not be the one that gets out there and mows the grass every time, BUT I am a big stickler about weeds. I will call whoever I need to & do whatever and get those weeds taken out! It has taken 4 years, but they are gone.
My thumb is not green, even though I would really like it to be. I have killed more plants than I care to share about, but I love them. I really do try and my hydrangea has done wonderfully.
I also got this little guy from my dad. Last year I lost it thanks to our dog, Boss. He decided to use it as a chew toy. It has come back with a vengeance!
So, the house will not be missed, but my yard yes. We are moving to lots and lots of weeds and trees. Maybe in 4 years I will have conquered them as well.

Cheap Entertainment
This past week has been filled with packing boxes and boxes and boxes. It has also required me to find something for the kids to do where they do not have to have total supervision, they will not get hurt, and it holds their attention long enough for me to pack at least one complete box. I also don't want them sitting in front of the TV or Wii playing games for hours on end. So that time is very limited at our house.
At first they wanted to help - the only thing they seem to want to make sure goes with us is their animals. So we had lots of boxes full of animals.
Of course outside has been a big hit as well. All I have to do is turn on the hose/sprinkler/water slide and they are set for a few hours.
I absolutely LOVE 80's music. When I get the chance I turn on Charter's music channel that plays nothing but the 80's. I have a great time singing along until my children (or husband) can't take anymore.
This week however, the kids joined in and we had several dance sessions :)
They also decided to make their own gymnastics class on daddy's rings in the garage.
Since the rings were too high for Izzy to reach, she decided to drive the van to the Publix and the beach.
The house is still not completely boxed up, but we're getting there. Only 4 days till closing and 6 till we have to be out!

Count Down
Today is June 4th.
We have 6 days till we close on this house, 9 days till we have to be completely out. 15 days till Ben & I leave for our 10 year anniversary cruise. 22 days till my best friend growing up gets married. 27 days till our closing of our East Lake house. 29 days till we leave for the beach with some friends. 34 days till we move into our new home.
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. Ferris Bueller.

Wii Movies
I am an avid lover of movies. I love action/adventure, cheezy romance, action/romance, comedy, drama, even westerns. You get the picture. When the Rebbox came out I went ecstatic! b/c if you don't already know I'm always looking for a bargain, so renting a movie for $1. I'm sold!
We'll let me introduce you to my new found love - Netflix movies you can watch on your Wii. That's right I said your Wii.
You pay $8.99 a month and you get a DVD that you put in your Wii and you can watch movies or tv shows that stream instantly thru the Wii to your TV. You also get 1 movie at a time via mail. It is the best thing ever...we'll actually it's prob. not considering they are always adding new movies to the ones streaming and I'm always finding something new I want to watch instead of dishes...laundry...packing boxes...

Weekend Visit
Remember I told you about our dog, Boss. Well we got to dog sit this weekend while his owners went out of town. It's amazing how much a dog changes from puppy stage to dog stage. Even though Boss is just a little over a year now that year mark must have made a huge difference.
He has gotten a lot bigger. He is now 57 lbs.!
The kids had a blast with him, esp. since this time he wasn't getting their toys as much as he did when he was a puppy.
I've had several people tell me I need to look into getting a dog when we move into our EL home. You know keeping Boss this weekend was a nice reminder that I do love dogs, but I'm not ready to bring one home as part of the family...not yet anyway.
