This will be an interesting month, as we will be moving to a new home.  We’ve been keeping our “ears to the ground” for a 3 bedroom to move into so that the kids could each have their own room again.  We got spoiled with that situation before an its not been the same since.  They would stay up much later than they should because they had each other to keep themselves occupied in the one bedroom.  Despite threats of death, doom, and destruction, they would keep chattering away until WAY TOO LATE.  Its also out of the city.  Yay! No more fighting with rush hour traffic to get across a congested bridge that shuts completely down in the winter many times due to accidents.  And, now, Caleb can help me with the garden, as we’ll be able to plant one!

My phone, long distance, and internet can move with me.  My television service can move with me.  The electricity is scheduled for disconnection/reconnection.  A moving truck has been reserved.  That leaves calling or writing to the companies that we deal with to update mailing information.  The kids’ school will need some papers filled out for a transfer.  We need to pack our stuff.  And, to think that last week this was not even a thought.  Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

The next two weekends will involve visits from family, as well.  I guess that this month is packed with activity.  I hope that I can keep it all under control, for the most part.

Last week was spring break for New Brunswick schools.  So, our kids were home with little on their minds.  Thankfully, their grandma took them for two days and they had a great time with her.  I took Monday and Friday off, so I had a three day work week.  So, now I’ve got to get geared back up for a whole week of work before the weekend.  Man, if it snows or gets icy one more time, I might be out of luck for getting out of the apartment:

Caleb is done school on Friday 22 June.  He can’t wait, either.  I think that this year is different for him, as he’s getting a bit older and less dependent on others to get things done.  He also has gotten thoroughly hooked on a computer game called “Operation Flashpoint”, which is an older game set south of the former Soviet Union and its the USA pitted against the Soviets.  So, the subject material is old.  Its been an educating time as a result, as I have to fill in the history for Caleb.  The game seems to have a reasonable base on some facts as far as places, weapons, and dates (certainly not all of them, though).

His report cards have shown good performance in all areas they measure, so I should be pleased with his year end report card.  I know that Abby will be really pleased that she will have another playmate closer to her age than mom or dad to play with and be tormented by.

As a bonus, I won’t have to get up before 6am for the summer! Woo!
