I Found Them...

I know, everyone is wondering what the heck I have been doing... well, I have still been unpacking.  We have taken the stuff from our Bayou Vista home, and put it with our Tulsa home junk, and added all of that to our Singapore home junk, and then piled the camper stuff in with all of that.  What have I found?

Everything. 

Take this for instance:

It's rather amusing, isn't it?  This is just a sampling from our kitchen!  Multiply that by every single room we have.  K, so now you know why I am having trouble sitting here posting.

And now you know what I have been doing.  The good thing is it is finally all in one place and I can sort to keep and toss.  And I am indeed tossing... yes, Steph, I AM!

TO OUR KIDS:  Speak now or forever hold your peace... if you want it, let me know.  If I toss it, I will toss it your way.  If I keep it but you want it, I will put the name on it of the first child to ask for it on it.  When I kick the bucket, you can see how that goes over  ;-)

TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS:  If our kids don't want it, what's left is up for grabs.  Speak now or forever hold your peace.  You can beg our kids for it when I croak.

TO OUR FRIENDS and the rest of our relatives:  Sorry, but do you really think there will be anything left?  Seriously?  If the kids don't get it the siblings will - but does it count that I love ya?  ...and you don't have to store that either  :-)

TO OUR GRAND KIDS:  Don't worry about anything I said above... You can have anything of mine your little heart's desire and the very best part is that you can have first choice - then your mommy and daddy can pick and finally every one else  ;-)

On a side note, I went to a GOOD Dr today and he WILL get to the bottom of this.  He drew blood, took every record I had and said he was going to sit down and read a good novel tonight... and would call me with his suggestions as soon as he finished it.  So I am definitely on the right track.  He assured me there was a reason for my pain and he would find it. He spent one solid hour and a half with me.  I have every confidence he is going to get to the bottom of my side pain.  And I gotta tell you, after his poking and prodding today, I am (politely) cussing him.  I hurt like h-e-double toothpicks.

Tomorrow, I shop for living room furniture; Steve said if I don't buy it he will.  I don't think I will like what he gets (think pine trees cut into sofa slices) so I have asked Rhonda, a new friend, to shop with me.  I am super excited to have someone to help out!

And that is it for today.  I will get back to posting, my life is still in... quadruplicates right now... and more.  I have to weed through this to take time without feeling guilty to blog.  I sure do miss it though.
