A Quiet Weekend

Thanks to a hardy, brave soul, we have a weekend with no children. Our plans are fairly simple... Ellicia will work to recover from the chemo, and I will continue to pre-pack the house.

She's still recovering... the chemo does some funky things to her lately. Mainly, makes her skin crawl, her nerves tingle, and often times, a general numbing of her whole body (right down to the tip of her tongue).

For pre-packing, that essentially means downsizing. There are weight limits on what can be shipped, and it's based on rank, not family size. Therefore, we're tossing stuff left to right. It's a little easier since our appliances are all being left here.

And the kids... well, there's a nice (childless) family that has a farmhouse, complete with dogs and horses and the whole See N Say barnyard. One can only imagine how their weekend is going. :)

Sounds like they are going to have a blast...you on the other hand...moving is one way to get rid of the clutter.

You know this means you'll have to buy some farm animals...

I'm so glad that someone is alowing you precious time alone. Even if Ellicia is recovering and you are packing, you can just enjoy each other.

And an old farm house and farm animals, a child's version of heaven!!

Buy some farm animals? And what kind of fundraiser do you propose for that, Miss Birdlegs???

No, they are having fun, I hope.

Perhaps Miss B means some chickens...and *roosters*...just can't bring herself to say it ;-)
