I should really be doing something else...

No, really. I have so much to do, and so little time to do it in, but somehow I can't quite manage to make myself do it... yet.

I have exactly 8 days until my Mom and Dad come to visit. Hooray! We are so excited to have them come! Their visit won't take too much preparation on my part... just some food shopping and maybe a little de-junking of noticeable bad spots in our home. I do have a cleaning lady, after all. Having them here will be wonderful... we can hardly wait!

The real problem starts when they leave. Their flight home is on Friday, May 30th. On Monday, June 2nd, the movers come. I have done NOTHING to prepare for this day. I know, at least I have other people packing my stuff, but I will have to have everything separated out before they come- what we're taking with us, things we want to get rid of, etc. That same day, we have to take our car to the port to have it shipped back to Utah (actually to California, and then we have to go get it... lots of fun). That means that I will be supervising pack-out and trying to get the house clean afterwards without a car. I'm really hoping someone has one for us to borrow for a few days.

After the house is packed and clean, and the keys given back to the landlord, we will settle in at the TLF (basically the hotel on base) for 2 1/2 weeks. I am not looking forward to this time, since being trapped on base without a car is not my idea of fun. I am excited, though, that this flurry of activity/ living with our 6 kids in two hotel rooms precipitates moving back to Utah! I have loved our time here, but it will be really nice to get back. Especially for our family reunion in July!

Okay, I've psyched myself up now.... I'm off to find a drawer to sort through....
