Suffering from Moving Pains
Well the gang (Kim, Jerry, and Brad) all showed up on Sat. and we started the moving early that morning. By the time we left the house we had a 14' trailer and two truck beds plus Kim's car full of stuff. It was so hot and we were all dragging by the time we pulled up to the new place. We had one more trip to make but on Sunday decided not to go because we were all just to tired. I look like someone has beat me with a baseball bat. I have bruises and cuts all over my arms and legs, now the muscles are starting to hurt and tense up. I so appreciate everyone of them because I would not have know what to do with out them. On Sunday, Kim meet me with coffee in hand to wish me a Happy Birthday, she even posted on her blog about the move and my birthday. Thanks Kim, you are the best friend I can have and your right don't know what I have done with out ya. We went to church and pretty much just worked around the new place all day. Kim made a incredible dinner and made me a Peanut Butter Pie....man is it good, I am still eating on it and nope I am not sharing. I took Monday off to try to unpack things around the place and didn't get a lot done because I was visiting with my Dad. Kim came over and helped me get my kitchen put together and I have been really busy doing this stuff ever since she came over. I went back to work yesterday and wished I could have stayed home a bit longer. All I can do is sit here and think about what I need to be doing at home and I still need to go back this weekend and get the rest of the stuff left at the old place. Well go check out Kim's freebies over at Starscraps. She is really doing some neat stuff over on her blog and now that we are neighbors you might want to check in on both of us to see how things are going. We are going to have some funny stuff to post I am sure, seeing how her husband, Jerry, made me Mayor of the park on Sat. That was just too funny and handed me a gavel to welcome me to my new position. I think I will make him head of security seeing how he has a great gun collection. I will have to fill you in on when he put on the baseball helmet while moving later because I have to get back to work now. Don't forget, go by Kim's to get some freebies and I hope to be back to designing very soon. The scrapping room is next on my list to work on, can't wait......

Welcome to the World, Hayden Michael Redding
I would like to welcome the newest addition into the family, my nephew, Hayden Michael Redding. Mom, Dad, Sister and Baby are all doing well and I can't wait to get to see him. Here is one of the pics I got in an email but will have to get the others together from mom.
I have been calling him Otis, after our Great Grandfather, this is going to be his new nickname from Aunt Missie. I hope my boys teach him all the in and outs of this world because it is only fair that my brother gets to experience all that I have the last 19 years. HEHEHE....Hayden, Aunt Missie has so many things to teach you and I can't wait till then.
Congrats to Mike and Michelle on this beautiful baby boy...
I am still around
I am almost done with packing this monster house and now to figure out what to do with everything. My new little house is already filling with boxes and I haven't even move the furniture in yet. I was taking a break and figured I would post an update on where we are on the move.
Clayton is now getting set up in his new home and it is really nice. He lives on a private lake and his house sits up on a hill that you walk down to get to the water. Very nice. Of course, it hurt to pay the first months rent, deposits and then add college tuition on top of that. We only have to get his books for school and then I am done.
As for me, I am still packing up the little things left around and we moved our first set of boxes Saturday to the new place. I am making another trip out there tonight to start ripping carpet out and move my bed into the house. Denver is still at his Dad's for the summer but he will be coming home in the next two weeks to get ready for school to start. Hopefully, I will be financially ready for this when it comes around. Clayton has just about drained me this week.
Devin packed his stuff up and moved it to his Dad's house and I am getting ready to transfer his records to his new school. I am going to miss him being around the house but I think it will be good for him to see what it is like to live with Dad. Hopefully he will appreciate all the little things that I have done all his life and he took for granted. But only time will tell and it is going to be hard on me, however, I expect him to want to come home by Christmas. Things are just way different at Dad's and he hasn't yet experienced that part yet.
All of my scrap stuff is packed in boxes and has been for the last month, I AM GOING NUTZ!!! I want to paper scrap and digi scrap so bad but can't right now. Maybe in a few weeks I will have things unpacked and I will be ready to hit the ground running with a new kit very soon.
Pray for all of us because it seems like we are all going in different directions now days and the full realization hasn't hit me that Devin and Clayton are no longer going to be around. I figure once everything slows down it will hit me then. My nest went from three to one...WOW. What is this crazy mom going to do? I haven't had one kid at home in quite sometime but Denver and I are looking forward to our new life that is developing before us.
I have been reading books lately. I just finished "90 minutes in Heaven" and this is a must read. The next book was "Get Out of That Pit" by Beth Moore, Wow is all I can say. I also just finished "Beyond Band of Brother, The War Memoirs of Major Dick Winters", if you enjoyed the Band of Brothers mini series this is a great follow up to the show. He covers alot that wasn't in the mini series. This was an amazing man. I am also reading "Have A New Kid By Friday" (look out Denver, Mom is getting ready) This is a really good book on those strong willed children and how to deal with them. Basically a happy child is an unhealthy child but a unhappy child is a healthy child. I can so relate to this because I am guilty of spoiling the boys and they don't appreciate anything so the tables have now turned and Mom is ready to change their lives once and for all. Wish me luck.
Well better get back to the moving game...
Take care, Missie

Lets see how this works out for me...Kim over at StarScraps had this cuss o'meter on her blog so I figure why not, lets just check and see how I am doing.

YEAH ME...I am clean as a whistle. Well things have been busy, I am still getting ready for the big move and now we are having the big sale on Sat. I am pretty much selling everything and just starting over. This is going to be fun once I decide what theme I want for the house. I finally ended the thoughts of reconciliation and I feel alot better today because I have been dealing with the stress and worries of what was I going to do about my marriage. I have accepted that I can no longer keep trying to hold it together and I have learned so much about how my marriage was not what I always thought it was. Had I known all of this in the beginning, I know that I would not have gotten married but I thought life was wonderful in our world. Sad, that the man I married really isn't the same person. I am not sure what the next step is or what the future holds for me but I am excited to see where I am going.
Well I have to get back to work...chat with ya later.
