And it begins

[catelin]

My children are in the sky, probably about an hour away from Newark by now. Two more days of work, mostly just to say goodbye. My brother (oh the stories I could tell about my brother...he is an oddly amusing, often heartbreaking, and sometimes terrifying combination of Falstaff, King of the Hill, and Apocalypse Now) and his son are coming to help me unload boxes from my stuffed-to-the-brim station wagon. We're probably going to go into town to see Underworld after that. I've got company at the Little House (TM) until I leave due to creepy vibes from the ex. Not that he'd try anything, but I always trust my instincts and I figure that I will enjoy the company and the peace of mind instead of living my last days here on edge. I don't want to end my residency in Texas with a shooting, so I'm all for avoiding problems, rather than dealing with them on the front door step....er, I mean...inside the front hallway. (It's a joke!) This time next week, I'll be making my way north with my mother and my menagerie!

Inside the Front Hallway -That would be a pistol (7 mm?)

Front Door Step - Sawed-off shotgun?

I guess you can't sit out there waiting for him all night, can you?

He's not worth any more of my time. I wasted enough of that on him already.

have a great ,safe and peaceful move!

Thanks, doll! I'm definitely looking forward to getting settled in. I think I must have really lost it, because I'm actually looking forward to cold weather for a change!

Good luck with the move. Better times are ahead, I'm sure. :D

It's not too cold yet. Not even sweater weather today. I hope the move goes well for you and the kids. I had a great mental image of two children in the sky, from your post.

I'm anxious to get there, especially now that the boys are there. We'll definitely have to get together once things settle down a bit.

[nandan.livejournal.com]

I hope it's not too strange for the boys.

Oh, no. They're being spoiled rotten by David's parents. : ) They're happy as can be. I think that the school transition may be a little stressful, but they're pretty easygoing little guys so I'm sure they'll adjust well. I'm giving them this week as a little vacation and then I'll enroll them once I get there.

[emrecom.livejournal.com]

i've been wondering--did you actually eat that pencil, or what?

[catelin.livejournal.com]

That's my thinkin' pencil, bub. I wouldn't ever eat that one. ;-p

Hah! We'll let Alan take care of him. :P

I can't wait for a weekend of Little House goodness! I'll bring some movies. Alan may latch onto your computer and refuse to let go though. ;)

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Movies, movies, movies!! Bring as many as you want, because yes we have no cable at the Little House as of about a month ago. And he can just stay on the ol' computer. Hey, you wanna help me dye my hair? We can do girlystuffs, like face masks and toenail painting. : )

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Rock! Movies and hair dye! I can't remember the last time I painted my toenails. Hah. Sounds like a plan.
