Mama, It's Too Early


This morning, Mama woke us up to go outside. Yes, you read that correctly. She told us to get out of bed to go outside. Isn't that rude? She said "Jack and Scout it's 7 a.m., we need to go outside." It didn't feel like 7 a.m. to us. Mama then realized that our old clocks that automatically change when the time changes had changed. See, they are old and they think we are still on the old time change that used to occur in April but now occurs in March. We go through this twice a year with Mama because they also do it in October. We really need to get new clocks. We walked outside and there were lots of people running around packing up their cars. That is very unusual for 6 a.m. on a Sunday. I bet they have the same clocks!

Resting Up Before The Big Move


If all goes well, we will be in our new home next week at this time. We hope to move in the house Friday afternoon. Our Pods are scheduled to arrive on Saturday, but if our closing time is early enough, we are going to have the Pods delivered on Friday and then the fun will begin. If not, we may still move in Friday and sleep on the floor which isn't a big deal to us because we have our beds.

Mama ordered the cable and it is being installed next Saturday. I will not miss a second of Judy Judy! Mama ordered us a DVR, so if I want I can even record Miss Judy. Life is good!

Mama has been gone a lot this week doing shopping and errands and we just don't sleep well when she is gone. We have to catch up on our sleep when she is here, so that's why we look so tired in the photo.

Miss Judy Is Hospitalized


Did you hear that my Judge Judy is in the hospital? According to the news, she was rushed there during a taping of her show. She had some tests done and they say she is going to be okay. I really hope so. As you know, I love my Judge Judy.

The count down is underway for our move! A week from today, we do the walk through. Our Pods have been scheduled for delivery for next Saturday, but we may move it up to Friday when we get a definite time for closing. Our couch, our toys our additional beds....they are all coming! Mama has been calling around for trash service. They will pick up the trash at our driveway. Can you imagine? At the old house, we had to put all the trash into the Jeep and drive it down the road. I helped a few times, but I did not like riding with the trash. I do not even like walking by the dumpster here.

Mama may order our cable today or tomorrow. We will have Animal Planet again! I've really missed it. The TV here is not very nice. There are certain channels like HGTV where the TV buzzes when it goes to commercial. It is so annoying. We don't have very many channels here. There's a lot of sports channels, which are very boring. We will have lots of channels in our new home.

Last night, we had Chinese food. It's probably the last time we will have it here. They have the best Won Tons and egg rolls according to Mama. We do not get any of those. They do not put the sauce on the Cashew Chicken, so Scout and I are able to eat the chicken. Yummy! We will miss our Chinese place.

Mama did the laundry for the second to the last time yesterday. No more hanging clothes all over the room to dry after next week! Mama says it cost us $10 each time she does laundry and that's just for two people. She does laundry about every 4 to 5 days. Think of the bones she could be buying for us instead of washing clothes :::sigh:::

We are doing the happy dance here. We can hardly wait until next weekend!

Snow Is Gone


Almost all of that nasty snow melted on Sunday. The only snow that is left is what the snowplows piled up. We are happy about that.

It seems that there is a lot of "hurry up and wait" when it comes to moving to our new house. We can't really do much right now, but we are all getting very anxious. The seller wants to change the closing date, but we really don't want to do that. He wants to change it a Monday and that really messes things up for us. Daddy will have to take more time off from work. We have to spend more money for the hotel and storage. We wouldn't have as much help moving, etc. We told him we could change it, but we would need to be reimbursed for our additional costs. We haven't heard his answer yet, but we don't think he will want to give us any additional money.

We are still searching for a bed. The bed we wanted can only be delivered on a Friday. That just doesn't work for us since we are closing on a Friday and we won't have a time until right before. We don't want to sleep on the floor for a week. The folks are going out again this weekend to search again. We could always have it delivered to Grandma's but Daddy said he doesn't want to pay to have it delivered just to have to move it again. Mama's a little stressed, but it will be okay.

The area we are moving is 8 minutes away from tons of fast food and stores. They even have a Papa John's. We fell in love with Papa John's since living here. There is no pizza delivery except maybe Domino's. I guess we can't have everything.

Home Again - Part 3

 Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home.  I don't know if we even remember the res...
