What I know for sure…

I like to know things…I ask questions…I plan…and I plan some more…and then plan a little more.  I make list that I lose…so I make them again…and then lose them again…so I make them again and again…you can see the never ending cycle here…for those that live with me it can be rather comical to watch….

with this move in progress it is even more *comical* for the hubby and for anyone that dares to give me a jingle or hang out with me right now….listening to the roller-coaster that I am on while trying to tidying up clients here, prepare for those in the states, organize for a move half way across the world, buy vehicles, prepare our life as a split family for a one and half years, stop the scale from going up and up, hitch-hike everywhere I go, plan going away parties and arrival parties, find preschools, dance schools, and new friends oh and do this all with a now-very-three-year home 24/7.  Wow my head is already spinning!!

So this is what I know for sure at the very point in time…(6:05AM)

-that it doesn’t matter if you have the house to yourself so that you can rest and that your 6:00AM 3 foot alarm clock is not here, YOU-WILL-STILL-WAKE-UP-AT-6AM!!! What is up with that!

-that it is possible to get a little scissor happy and that hair *does* grow back! Right?? Right.

-that we will be leaving this island this week, or next week, or the week after, or the week after that, or the week after that week.  and that we should *know* something be the end of the week (I have heard that line for the last 2 months)  so it is safe to say that will be leaving the island by the end of the year!  LOL!

-oh and it *is* possible that they lose your paperwork to fly out and that when they redo it that they will totally put your wrong last name on your tickets

-that I am about 5 minutes away from dishing out 4 grand to buy my own tickets home…I will need to start auctioning off some things!  Any takers on a laz-e-boy recliner?? or a right arm or left leg??

-that anything laying on the floor out of place is fair ground for a free ticket to the trash can! Including rock band and all the PlayStation’s and those damn cords!!!

-that I am not sure how I ever lived without the i-pod touch before…those things seriously rock!!

-that I bought the best damn gas mileage SUV I could find.  The Mariner!  And I am hoping I like it since I have never actually seen one in person.

-that one can not live on rice crispy treats, bagels, carrots and cafe lattes alone and not expect to the scale to go up and up and up…

-that they need to turn the heaters on..I am taking like 6 *HOT* showers a day just to keep this body from going into hibernation!  And I mean hot…the smoke alarm always goes off…not joking at all!

-that my baby is no longer a baby…and that she is funniest little girl I have met in a really long while..and that she totally keeps me sane and also drives me insane all at the same time. i love that girl!

-that life is good even though it is bit crazy right now..

and finally what I know for sure is that I will truly miss our Oki friends and life here on the island. thanks for the moments and the laughter!
