One small step for familykind....One giant leap toward Insanity.

We are moving. There I said it out loud!

I'm scared. Nervous. And surprisingly excited about the idea.

Last time we moved it was 70 yards. From one side of our current building to the other. Time before that was about 20 miles. Same town, same job, same friends etc..

This time, it's going to be about 700 miles. New state and town. New jobs. No family or friends. Everything foreign.

I knew the day would come. I love Naples, but it is expensive. The summers never end. The job market is going nowhere and we would need to hit the lottery to ever own our own home again. We have spoke about once the kids were out of HS, we would find a new location that better suited us. Low and behold, this is the kids idea. Girl child is in 10th grade this year. Her thought process is that she will be leaving her friends in 2 years anyway so why not do it a couple years earlier. Boy childs reasoning is that he starts HS next year. Since he goes to a middle school out of his zone, he will have to make all new friends anyway. Why not do it in another state.

Our first journey of exploration is happening in 6 weeks. After celebrating the holidays with the family, we are packing up for a few days to go check things out. We won't be making a move until the end of next summer, so we have time to plan and plot.

We are doing this as a family venture. All 4 of us on board. We have each picked a different region of the state to research. Seems to be all we talk about. We're counting the days. I will report as things progress.. I know there will be giant mountains to scale. And not just the type you drive over or hike up.

Look out South Carolina....here we come.

3 little words...say so much

One of my biggest bitches lately has been my lack of time to do the little things that I enjoy. One of which is my blog. I sign in and start typing but get pulled away for a million different reasons.

I drive in the mornings, and I am always listening to my favorite morning gab show via my mp3. Yesterdays hot topic was the recent ABC spotlight i-caught. The premise is that people would sum up their lives in just 3 words. And then video tape their message. It was put into a montage and aired on the show. Most people wrote the words on their palm or other body parts. Some made signs.

It is amazing how much 3 words can tell about a person and where they are in their life. So why not use this as my bloggin method :) I am going to also try to write the words on my hand each day. A little reminder of something poignant or even something silly. I am guessing it will change like my moods. Heck it may even turn out to be a conversation starter. "Why is that grown-ass woman writing on herself?"

I have found that this is easier and harder then I first expected.

Please share yours, feel free to leave them in the shout box over there

Little more like home....

As my eyes turn fuzzy, it is starting to feel a bit more like home. I miss the visitor markers. Nice to see whose dropping by so I can return the favor. I'm sure in good time, we will all come to love our new digs.

Still waiting on my archive. Hoping I filled out the request comment properly.

Still going to be tweaking the design until its poofect. Which may take awhile hehe

I may even blog a bit here sometime soon. Been very busy as it is that dreaded time of year when I become a slave to the piles of paperwork on my desk. I can occasionally glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel...
