"George" the betta, is still alive. I couldn't bear to leave him. So, he's "George" the traveling betta now. He's made it to Syracuse so far. Only 34 more driving hours to go. C'mon George!
The number on the scale is going down. Praise be.
It snowed yesterday. Oh, gag me.
Eliza may be getting her ears pierced today. But, I won't be there. If I was there I would cry. Oh wait, I'll still cry. There is something about purposefully inflicting pain on my children that just kills me.
I made dinner last night. Yes, this is breaking news. It had been quite a while. Eve asked me the other night, with a pleading in her eyes: "Mama, are you ever going to make dinner again?" Talk about guilt!
That you are still reading! It's a wonder, really! I've been so boring, repetitious and quite frankly kind of pathetic lately. I'm ready for normal life again...recipes, pictures, mildly entertaining posts!
Enjoy your Monday, you faithful ones. I'm sure going to.... Carousel Mall here we come!

When you talked about Syracuse and the Carousel Mall, I just had to reply. My sister lives near Syracuse and I grew up about an hour from there and we have gone to that particular mall several times. It is a neat place. I hope you are enjoying your time with family.
I know moving is hard, but years later you will talk about all of the places that you have lived and the favorite things about each of them.
I remember moving from Ohio to California one time and I would catch myself singing America the Beautiful as we drove through all of the different areas of this beautiful country. Enjoy your trip.
Knowing you, those kiddos are having a very memorable time and enjoying life on the road! Don't beat yourself up! You are a fabulous Momma and wonderful Wife. You are the kind of person who GLANCES in the rear view mirror yet keeps her eyes focused on the path through the front window! ;o)
Carousel mall! I haven't heard that phrase in years (when we were stationed at Fort Drum it was the closest thing to shopping we had - in the Army every where you move, everything you want to do is "just" an hour away).
I had a phase like this (what you're calling boring and pathetic) that lasted THE ENTIRE SUMMER - I was cooped up in an apartment with no internet access and all I could do was manage a few minutes at the library computer to eek out a pathetic paragraph or two. It was pretty miserable. Continued safe traveling!!! It was amazing anyone stayed around to read!
My last two sentences on that last comment got transposed, which made for a confusing (maybe even insulting?) comment. I MEANT it was amazing anyone stayed around to read MY blog last summer....must. get. more. coffee...
oh, goodness- you're driving?! agh! so glad to hear the amount of time you have in the car is decreasing, and the number on the scale is too! woo hoo! i think of you often, and i know the feeling of being happy to finally get back to normal life!!

ps- we travelled with our fish too- the girls loved him so much, and with all the change in their lives, i could bear to leave him behind! go george!
George......too funny. Are you having to hold him? 34 hours....you may never want to see another vehicle again.
Are you kidding? It is SO entertaining to read your writing! I have to admit, I'm kind of jealous... I've lived here my whole life and haven't made a trip to the Carousel Mall. Have fun!
I didn't even think about the fact that you would be driving!! Oh, Andrea, I am going to be on my knees for you girl. Have fun at the mall today:)
Boring? Repetitive? Pathetic?
Never!
Our beta is dead, and all he did was sit on the counter. I hope George is of hardier stock.
yay for carousel! i wanna come! that was a verrrrry good break spot when i was heading from lima to vernon (near brattleboro vt - my mom grew up on a dairy farm there). and yay for a lower scale number. mine FINALLY shifted after settling for 7 or 8 weeks. poo on you scale...
after dropping so much that first week or two - something in you says - if i keep doing this i'll be skinny again in a week or two. and then it stops just to poke its tongue out at you and make you wanna cry. oh for my skinny clothes again...
Hey, stop saying you're boring ~ you are mahvelous dahhhling!
Enjoy your day at the mall with your beautiful kiddos & remember, once you get to NM - better days are comin'!!
I wish I had the guts to get Hope's ears pierced. She's 9 months now & I'm afraid I've missed my window of opportunity where she thinks, "oh look at the nice people coming at me with the gun thingys". Now she would just scream because they're strangers.
Andrea, I am sorry.
I tagged you on my blog dear. Go see what I got you into.
You have all this time on your hands....with moving and kids and ...oh yea moving....
I didn't want you to feel left out!
You'll get there soon enough, what a time in your lives. Change is good sometimes :D
