It's Tuesday morning and I finally have the 'house' to myself. Eric started inprocessing today and Nathan went back to school after the Columbus day holiday. We tried to make it easy in ourselves as this gypsy life continues to drag out. We rented the room next to ours for the 3-day and we rented a car for the rest of the week. But this has been no joke. I think the next time we look into getting a motel room with 2 cats I may have some PTSD issues. I should probably look into therapy for Roxy.
Let's see, what have we done since the last time I posted? Well, I don't think the OU game needs to be addressed. Eric keeps saying that it's no shame in loosing to the #5 team in the nation. My thinking is that that's okay for anyone ranked #6 or lower. If you're ranked #1-4? Not so much.
After that debacle, Nathan and I explored one of the on-post play areas for kids. Indoor playground the thousands of nerf balls and the cannons to blast them with. Nathan worked up quite a sweat in the 3 hours we stayed there, but afterwards called it boreing. Since when did he become a teenager?
Sunday rained all freakin' day. That put the kibosh on going to the beach like we had planned. I finally went stir crazy and went into Savannah to find a bookstore. Found Books a Million. Somewhere there's a Barnes & Noble and a Waldenbooks, but that seems to be it. Did find Michaels and Hancock Fabrics while I was out, so future shopping sprees should be fruitful. Did get the book I've been waiting for all week (post living is nice, but the PX isn't going to have that big of a selection). Also picked up a couple of quilting magazines. I'm itching to get my sewing stuff out and have fabric exploding all over the dining area in the new house, but I'll try to control myself until after the boxes are unpacked.
Monday was just more of the same - Nathan watching tv/playing ps2 in one room, Eric watching tv/surfing the web in the other. I usually buried my nose in a book. I did have to find a laundrymat in Richmond Hill. The only one I found was pretty darn rough. I didn't stay any longer than necessary, so those clothes that were still damp got festooned in both rooms to air dry. I did also have find a copier for Eric plus shower flip-flops.
So today was the start of 'normal'. Again Nathan complained about going to school. He started to come around once we got in the rental car. But once we got to the school, Mr. Sensitive came out again. Apparently the kids line up class outside. I didn't know which line was his, and he said he didn't recognize any of the kids. He's only 7 and he's only been with that group for 3 days, so I can believe it. I asked one of the monitors which class was his, then she came over and tried to get some of other kids in the line to be his buddy. That just embarrassed him more and started more tears. I felt so bad for him. My momma instinct was to find his teacher and explain that he was a little sensitive this morning. But I managed to refrain. I figured he's get over it soon enough, and I knew we'd probably have the same story tomorrow. Sigh...
I did get the whole cable/phone/internet taken care of this morning. Heaven forbid we not have tv or internet by Saturday at 3:30! After scheduling the service tech for anytime between 8-12 on Friday, I remembered that the movers are supposed to come on Friday, so it could be very hectic that day. Both Nathan and Eric will be off work/school. Them, plus the cats? Cozy!
