My check list....

My check list so far....

Turn on water. - check

Turn on gas. - check

DirectTV - that comes Monday afternoon.

Move house phone - that happens Tuesday. Although I am not sure why....we use our cells way more. Danny said keep it, so I did!

Find a fridge on Cragslist.com - check.

Drive fridge from Little Elm to new house, unload, put in it's place. Pray it works - check. (tearing the handles off when bringing it in the house was an added attraction). Never fear, super glue to the rescue! It dumped it's first batch of ice right before I left.

Move all decorations - check. Only took two trips with my car loaded to the headliner!

Hang the shower curtain, that was the decision maker on colors - check. Did that last night.

Decorate top of cabinets in kitchen. - check. Did that last night too. Chelsey said "it really looks cute Mom.".

Sit on patio one last time. - check. Doing that right now...as I listen to total silence outside...except the birds. Lots of cars out and about in the neighborhood this morning. That is going to take some getting used too. There were about 5-6 garage sales going. Maybe that contributed to all the cars going by.

Now....to load up the kitchen and go put all the pots, pans, mini appliances in place. While...Danny and the kids take a nap. They must be tired from all of the above. Ha!

Movers come at 9am in the morning. Gotta get my butt in gear for a few more hours...bet I sleep good one LAST time in the big house tonight.

The move...to be continued!

Friday!!!!

Good lord what a week....went to the new house last night at 8pm....swept, mopped, lined cabinets, cleaned bathrooms, forgot the vaccum but I did clean every base board. Took all of 2 hours. Can you see the smile? Takes 5 hours minimum to clean our current house and that is minus the baseboards...that alone could take 2 hours. Utilities to our name today. Direct tv Monday. And I somehow missed moving our house phone so I have to do that today. The sticky to remind me has been on my work commuter monitor all week....just never got it done.

I also put out rugs and a few decorations on top of cabinets. So far, so good. Tonight is football of course and I do not even know where the game is as I type this....tomorrow we move the little stuff and movers are coming Sunday morning at 9am to get the furniture. Just couldn't stop worrying about moving it ourselves....so I broke down and called a moving company. They are by the hour, so I shall be hot on their tail to get it done quick!

Off to get dressed to finish this month out today!

Love to all,
Pam

And the color scheme is...

The color scheme is.....brown, cream and brick red! That's the shower curtain Chelsey picked out and the one I liked too. So, now we build around that. The good news is, I already have several accents that are that color, so this should be fairly easy to put together.

We also got kitchen rugs, and stopped by the house to see how they looked. Chelsey liked, me....we shall see.

Have gotten rid of many things this weekend. House is looking bare.

Off to watch tv and clean up the kitchen. Happy Sunday evening all!

Great football weather...

What a gorgeous night for football. Let's review the past three games. 3 Fridays ago it was so hot the letters from my Senior Mom Jersey stuck to my back. Last Friday night it rained us out. Tonight capris, flip flops, and a jacket by the end of the game. Just perfect. And the final score.... Celina 41 Paris 22.

Got the key to the new house this afternoon. It's now empty, so Chelsey and I measured a few things. Her bed is going to be a bit snug, but she is DETERMINED to get it in her room. Colby's King bed will be snug too, but he said he didn't care. Those kids love their beds, what can I say? And.....we actually have a concrete patio. Not sure how I missed that, but we can take the patio couch and chairs. No cover, so I'll have to figure that out, but at least we have a patio! No flower beds...can't decide if that is a good or bad thing for me.

So, tomorrow I start to pack and plan. Measure a time or two more. Buy a shower curtain. That curtain will determine our decor colors. Either going with green and blue with brown OR red, cream and brown... Again, shower curtain is what determines it.

Have a nice weekend all!

Three shots...

THREE shots today....And not rom shot glasses! Steroid, B12 and flu shot. Got the crud After the wind and rain storm Sunday. Change in the season gets me eveytime. Oh and an antibiotic, 1 giant horse pill for 5 days. I actually already feel better told Kim at the clinic here in town, that I may leak water from all the needle holes received today. No time to be sick, so it was a must!

The new soon to be Mrs Owner is bringing her sister out to the house tomorrow at noon. That's a good sign that she already wants to show it off. After all, it is very important that sisters approve! Right Carla?

Nothing exciting around here....starting to think about packing. But I actually think we can move one room at a time and not really "pack" just yet. The plan is to get everything out of the big house and into the little one that will fit and we use, then see what is left. I will say, there will be a lot left, but we have a couple of weeks to get it all out. Not worried. One room at a time, and I can knock it all out. Danny and the kids are not worried either, since they haven't said one word about what the plan is....I shall take this bull by the horns, trust me, and they will be in for a quick ride!

Take care all....and I can't help but wonder who all the visitors Royse City, Mesquite, Terrell....I know Winnsboro, College Station, but the others are a mystery.

Happy Hump Day tomorrow....trash day around here.

Facebook Frenzy Sale

Well, created quite a frenzy on Facebook this afternoon. Posted 40+ pictures of items selling before the big move. Check them out. If sold, I have marked them that way. Cell phone was ringing, house phone, text messages and messages on FB. Good grief it was crazy for about 2 hours as I posted pictures.

Homecoming was.......

Senior Float....isn't it just like Colby to be turned sideways (#51 shirt below)

Run thru - only time we saw it....rain prevented even unrolling it at the field.

Homecoming was.....postponed! It doesn't rain for days, months..but it did last night. Mom and I head up to the field at 6:30pm and by the time we get there, an umbrella if our topic. We have ONE with us. So up we go to the stands in a slight drizzle. Then...it gets worse. Lightening show begins. We head out of the metal bleachers and then hover under an umbrella for half an hour. Then we head to the car and to Sonic. At 8:30pm they call the game. So...next weeks game shall be "Homecoming" of sorts...no parade, huge pep rally, but we'll get to find out who os Homecoming Queen.

Made it home to go to the parade. Several floats, cheerleaders, band, Benny Boys, football players, etc. Made it to the Pep Rally. Theme is "11 working at ONE". Gym was packed. Standing room only. I'd put this town up against any other for support of the kids. Everyone turned out for it! Danny even made it. He nor I mentioned that we planned to attend so it was a nice surprise for both of us.



Mom, thanks for attempting to see Colby play...maybe next time!

Off to shower and head to work. Happy Saturday all!
