Yard Sale

Today I had a table at our post "yard" sale. Fummy thing is, there wasn't a yard in sight! We had it in the parking lot right by the thrift store. I guess they were thinking that once it's over for the day, people can unload all of their prized possessions that no one bought. With our moving coming up, I thought I would go and sell some stuff. Well, actually, my friend told me I really should do this instead of just getting rid of it, which is what I was going to do. So much to do, so little time. Well, I'm glad that I went. I made around $70. Now, that is NO WHERE close to what was spent on these fine objects, but it's better than nothing. Maybe now we can get the lap top fixed. The one where one small child of ours decided to pour puzzle glue on top of the keyboard. That way we'll have computer access once our stuff gets picked up on Tuesday. I hope you had a grand Saturday!

Moving

Bill finally got his orders after he told someone Friday would be too late to get them. With this unplanned move, things are on a tight schedule. When I say this, really, we found out that we would be moving in about a month. There is this AFN commercial that we ALWAYS laugh at...it goes something like this...."I just got my orders. We move in two weeks." We've always been like, yeah right. That REALLY happens. Most of the time, it doesn't. For us, when we got them, we'll be moving in three weeks. We'll be cleaning up around here, walls, etc. The yard sale is next Saturday and I'm hoping to sell a lot of stuff. We'll see how that goes. I guess if I don't sell it, I'll donate it to the thrift store. The packers will be coming on the 3rd. We'll be going into lodging shortly after that. We have a change of command to go to on the 9th. Bill will final out here, then he'll sign in, in Seoul when we get up there. We're not quite sure how long we'll be in lodging, it could be 2-3 weeks. We really hope it isn't that long, but it could be. Hopefully I won't have pulled out all of my hair by then!=)

Orders

Well, Bill did get his RFO on Friday. This is the piece of paper that you need to get your orders. Now we're waiting on some stuff that we need so they can put some special words on the orders. This is how it works with the military. We're moving in.....about 3 weeks. We have a TON of stuff we need to get done. Purge, purge, purge!!! Some of the toys the kids just don't play with anymore...they need to go away. I think I've pretty much weeded out most of their clothing, but my neighbor gave me clothes for the boys that I have to go through. We have to schedule the movers, get our place clean, etc. I did find someone who will keep our fish for us until we're settled. I know that Jenna's heart would be broken if I found a new home for them. I just can't keep them until we have housing. There is no place to clean their bowls in a hotel room.

So, we're headed in the right direction...hopefully it will not take that long to get things scheduled.

Things are....

Looking up!!=) We did have a little bit of a rough night, but this morning the sun was shining and the kids were feeling better. Much better. No tummy aches, no fever, happiness!!

Jenna's glad that she'll be able to go to school tomorrow, not to take her spelling test or turn in her homework packet, but to be able to feed Jenny B. I'll have to take my camera in so I can get a picture of her with the sweet bunny.

We hope you are all healthy and happy!

Sick...again

Well, now Jenna and Creed have the bug. Our friends daughter has it as well. We had them over for Mother's Day. Jenna is very distraught with the fact of her being sick. She keeps telling me that she HAS to be better in two days. You see, they have some class pets. One is Susie and she is a dwarf hamster. They just got another class pet, Jenny B and she is a dwarf rabbit. On Friday, it's her turn to feed Jenny B. I told her that I was pretty sure that she wouldn't be going to school tomorrow, but most likely she'll be better by Friday....at least that's what I'm hoping!!! Say a few prayers for this sickness to be out of our house soon.

I know a few of you are wondering about our move. We're supposed to be up in Seoul on June 9. Bill doesn't have his orders yet. Without these couple of pieces of paper, NOTHING happens!! So, he's talked to a few people telling them our tight timeline. We're hoping he gets them before Friday. If not, then his boss will be making some phone calls on his behalf. So, once I know more, then you'll know more.

Peace out!

Good News

Brodie does not have the hand, foot and mouth disease. He woke up in a great mood and feeling fine. I kept him home from school today, in all reality, he could have gone. I'm continuing to pray so that he doesn't get it.

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

Brodie may have this. I guess it's going around the Korean schools. I'm pretty sure NONE of my kids have had this. I've heard when one gets it, the others will too. I'm not happy about this, if this is true and he does have it. It's supposed to last 7-10 days. People!! I don't have 2-3 weeks for sick kids!!! We're moving in less than a month. We have stuff to do. No time for sick kids....I REPEAT....NO TIME FOR SICK KIDS!! Had to get that off my chest. Say a prayer or two for all of my kids and hope that Brodie gets better quickly and the other two don't get it.
