OF COURSE !

 

An evening blog from me ! HA HA.. What did you think I was going to say ?

Mult was off line for a while this afternoon, so I got alot done .. not that it needed to be, but still !

I got the laundry (what there was of it) done and cleaned up a little. The kids all took showers early and now I am sitting about - munching on some old candy that I found stuffed in the drawer and listening to some tunes.

I spent some time online while Mult was down looking at maps. We have DEFINITLY DECIDED on four states that we would like to move to most. Tennessee, (#1)  N -or- S Carolina and Georgia. (Georgia being last choice) I must say Jordan is exstatic about moving down to Tennessee or the Carolina's ! He and I both luv country music alot and Nascar ! I am thinking he thinks it will be like "our people" there. I spent alot of my summers there and I always loved it ! Brittany says she don't know - she's never been there (Jordan and I have) but she'd be glad to be out of here. Hannah and the younger ones really have no idea at all what I am talking about. LOL.

Jordan and Britt are quite upset though that we won't live near our fave vacation spot anymore ... S.W. South Dakota and Wyoming. They both LOVE to vacation there when we go. They keep talking about it. I really would  move there if it were summer all of the time, it is SUCH a GREAT place .. but winter is just MUCH too, too cold and I absolutely hate this crud !!!..... Maybe in time I figure we can go back up there, I do luv it so !

Adam and I talked about how we are going to sell ALL our stuff .. he mentioned an auction. I have no idea about ANYTHING auction wise. I have only ever been to one and it was weird. I still think a big ol' yard sale will be best, so it can all go at once.  ( It don't matter to me, it is just stuff - and there is always more "stuff" ... besides, you can't take it with you when you die anyway.) So, I figure a small to medium sized U-Haul will hold what is left (or what matters like pictures and a few momento's etc.) and we'll just take that, perhaps do storage at first or what ever. It will be like just starting out  - except we already have the kids. LOL.

Now I know I am doing this before we have found out about any jobs yet, but I have faith the right one will come along. I just know I can no longer be "up here" any longer. If anything Adam can stay up here and continue to work, while I go down and scope things out. I am the kind of person that once I get determined enough to do something .. it WILL be done. I also know it sounds conceited a bit, but when I want something bad enough, I get it ! It's true. I believe it is because how I think about it !

I will miss being close enough to home to just take a bit of a day to get there, but that is ok. All that is there that would make me go back is my Mom. Chicago is quite the place though, so I will be having to visit every now and again. Either way home is always in my heart.

So that is it ! Tommorrow we will go clean that house and then next week - I have made it my goal to just start to begin to weed through some things in the house. Goodwill or somplace will get some and I will start to put away some other things. We still do have that storage shed place in town which is nice. I am glad I kept it for this reason alone. Things happen for a reason. and I am soooo happy to have this to look forward to and get the freak out of here !

Well, got to think about making dinner now .. we are having Hamburger Helper, salad and fries. Yummm ! I feel so hungry right now I might eat my arm off ! lol !

My Wife Swap and Nanny shows are on here in a bit - so I am off to get din done and watch TV for a bit !

Have a wonderful evening and weekend everyone !!!!

TAMMIE

* and that is okay if you think I have gone crazy .. I have not. ANYONE can do anything .. as long as they believe ! If you say you can .. you CAN !

  2. I've never been to Tenn. We stopped at the other states for potty breaks on our way to FL. I would love to move further South.

  5. old candy and tunes what more could a girl want..lol I had to laugh imaging that :)

    wow you ARE making plans! Woo hoo! I think its great that you are doing this...
    I went to Kindergarten in TN, vacationed in SC and NC when i was little but my mom lives in NC right now so I go there whenever I get the chance. I think the cost of living would probably be lower in the South than what you are used to now so that's a bonus. Im excited for you guys!

    Enjoy your evening!

  6. Sounds like a plan. The only way to do it is to just start making it happen. I hope it all works out for you guys. It takes a strong person to just up and move like that. :)

    We have talked about moving up to the TN, NC area after David is finished with school. I would love it up there. I use to live in a little town in N. GA for a few years & it was sorta nice. I lvoed the mountains but not really the small town atmosphere.

  7. We were at 6 degrees and windchill at -5. That is the coldest it has ever been since we moved here 5 years ago. Monday we were in the high 30's and will probably be there again by next week. You still get all 4 seasons here just not as bad.

  10. Well I haven't been to any of those states, wait I take that back, I was in Atlanta Ga at the airport on layover for about an hour..lol! I heard south carolina is nice though. I'd like to move to a warmer climate, maybe once J is out of school. Right now it's -11 degrees and feels like -28. I just took Monte out potty and man, that cold is nasty! Time for me to retire to my nice warm bed.

  12. We lost the whole internet here at our house, for over a day. It actually was kind of nice! LOL I've got small group here tomorrow, so I needed to clean anyway! :)~

    Tenn/N.C. would be my choice personally. I think Georgia is too far south. Matt's been seriously (kind of) looking into the N.C. area.... Well, the border of N.C. and S.C actually, around the Asheville area. There are some driving jobs there, if nothing else works out around here. We are trying hard to stay put because of family and friends, but if he can't find anything around here, we might as well move somewhere warmer! LOL
