Arrow Thread: Travelers & Waiters and an Update on Tweetymom04

I have really enjoyed taking care of the T&W thread! It has been nice to watch the process of so many Families 'in waiting' come together!

Pinkie is taking the T&W Thread back-over, as my schedule is getting fuller by the day.

I've found a wonderful book titled "Moving with Kids". Any Military Families out there, you can relate to what we are gearing up to do. IT is all in the attitude!

-Paperwork for our move back. (Hmmm, I feel as though we are Paperwork PG all over again ) Not all in triplicate, just more of it!! ARGGG!
-My pending Surgery,
-Moving into a hotel here, while our items are packed up
-Sell the items we had to buy that didn't come with the 'fully furnished house' we've rented for 3 years.
-Overseeing the logistics of moving back to the states,
-Coordinating schedules (once in the states) for delivery and off-loading of:
-Storage,
-AIR,
-SEA containers
-as well as Family bringing down a moving truck
-Getting the Boys Immunziations up to date
-Getting the Boys settled in school, etc.
-Unloading boxes, boxes and more boxes,
-Set up the Christmas Tree
-Find and Buy a Mini Van
-Have my OBGYN appt (follow up from surgery OR schedule surgery)
-Cook Christmas Dinner
-Move out of the hotel and into the house
-Boxes, Boxes and more Boxes
-Shop for Christmas
-Celebrate Christmas and take a day off from unpacking.

As for dates:
-Surgery is scheduled for 14 Nov (24 days to recover before our flight day)
-We move out of the house and Packers/Movers arrive early Dec
-Flight to states 8 Dec

I'll still be on the boards, just less time. Once we are settled in the States, I'll post. Take Care Everyone.

Oh my, I am tired looking at that list! I am still amazed how my mom did it with FOUR kids! We lived back and forth overseas and the US a few times growing up. That woman can pack like the dickens, though. Even though the Navy did most of it.
Good luck with everything! Prayers for your surgery and best of luck with the boys! XXOO !!!! HUGS!!!!
