What's the use of being unemployed if....
at 5 am your wife wakes you up to ask if it is OK for her to get up since that is her normal time of rising and she can't sleep.
Then, a couple hours later she wakes you up again to allow your son to hug and kiss you to go to school and then he goes in the living room and starts a movie (loud volume, of course) because "Dad is awake now anyway."
Brother. :roll:
Yes, yesterday WAS my last day of work and we will be working today and tomorrow to finish the packing (which is never really finished, believe me) in preparation for loading on Thursday to leave that night or Friday morning (Yes, dear, we can get up at 5 on Friday) for our new home state Idaho.
The house is supposed to close today and the money (the most important part) will be in our acount before noon.
Are we excited yet? YOU BET!!!

I'll take some comfort from your success.
Try to make it sound like fun, eh?
I'm glad that my wife and I will be flying out to DFW (to stay at our younger son's house in Flower Mound) on the 26th, and the boys will then come back here to Salinas to handle all the packing and the move itself on the 30th. I'll just pre-pack a few of my things--mostly computer stuff.
The hard part for me will be not having my Mac for over a week. Fortunately, I'll be able to carry enough whistles to ease my pain--though I'm not sure I'll be permitted to play them much at my son's house. I wish I dared carry my good guitar on the plane. Maybe I'll try it with one of the others, though.

It is official now. We no longer own this house. The funds have been placed in our checking account.
Now the mixed feelings start to settle in as we realize that all the work and sweat we put into this house is in someone elses care. Of course that $100K plus number in the checking account and the looking forward to building our new home pretty much balance the feelings.
And packing really IS fun, no really, we are having the time of our lives! :roll: It is soooooo amazing how much you accumulate even when you are trying to not do so.

All that sleep is highly overrated. You've got time to lie in the dark with your eyes closed when you're dead. :roll:
I never understood the appeal of sleeping a lot-- I've known many people who, if you ask them what they're going to do for the weekend, will reply "Sleep". Close your eyes, open them and it's Monday. Might as well not have had a weekend at all!
I digress.... good luck on the move and best wishes in your new home.

Now it just got VERY interesting. Renee now has me picking up the truck TOMORROW instead of what was initially Friday and then Thursday.
ARGH!!!!!
Sorry Mike, it is no longer fun.

Hey Steven.........
ARE WE THERE YET?????
Sorry, I just couldn't resist since Stacey said it SOOOO many times already?
We actually drove through the southern corner of Idaho 11 years ago this month...on the 16th actually. We drove all the way from Washington State back home to NY State with three little ones in the back seat of our Subaru. Not that you needed to know that....I'm just feeling nostalgic
