Packing, Again

We are packing up again, this time it is the DM stuff to take to the office so it can be loaded on the truck on Monday morning about 8 am.  We hope that the cubes are sold, but if not, they still aren't going with us, I'll get them sold before we leave on Thursday.

Yes, Thursday.  The Prof. gets done teaching on  Wed. so he said we might as well take off on Thursday since we won't have much left here to work with.  The guy that works with us is planning to take some time off and take a vacation.  So, timing will work just fine.

With the stuff arriving in the 18th it would be nice to not have to bother C with letting everyone in and being there most of the day, but, we won't be there by then, not possible with teaching not getting over before Wed. 

It is raining here today, cools everything off, the windows are open and the breeze is rather cool.  Sure beats the high humidity and heat of the last few days.  It is too bad for Summerfest, but it isn't supposed to last all day so perhaps this evening will be fine.  Tomorrow is supposed to be fabulous, 80's with low humidity. 

We have Mable back in with Mr. Lane.  She was having some issues that he needs to fix, not the tranny, some other stuff that I want done before we hit the road.  She's spent more time with him this last month than she has with me!

Mercy knows that there is something going on.  She got really "pis–" with the Prof. last night which resulted in me giving her a thump and chewing her out.  She got pretty mellow after that, she isn't used to me chewing her out.  She had actually hissed at the Prof when he picked her up.  Don't think she has ever done that before, probably won't do it again either!  Brat

I have the kitchen cupboards empty of food products (except for what we will eat this week) and now have to start on the pots, pan, and all that kind of stuff.  But, it reality, there isn't much time required for what is left, not more than a couple of hours.  We are taking the cloths with us in the cars rather than getting wardrobe boxes, we have the space and decided that's what we'll do. I think Mercy is going to ride with Greg, she usually does better with him, we'll see.  If she's too much of a brat she will come in with me, then she will really wish she was with her dad!

We are looking forward to being there in time to take the kids school cloths shopping.  As it is a "tradition" we will have a blast.  More choices this year than we had in Burlington, although we always had fun there too.  I know the girls are going to be in town, I just have to arrange for the boy to be with us or we'll go seperately but he's gotta be included too.

Next year the little one will be with us, she will be starting school so she gets to do the shopping trip too!

Now back to packing.
