It's Sunday. We move on Tuesday. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!!! Getting into our own house and everything - I can't believe this is really happening! I have a picture of it on my desktop, and sometimes, when I look at it, it just hits me - this is going to be ours! It will be our place, not my parents, not John's parents. Ours to do with whatever we like - plant whatever flowers we want, paint rooms whatever color we want... The list goes on. It's the coolest feeling in the world!
The packing and stuff really got to me last night. It hadn't been until last night, when I was looking around at all of the stuff we still hadn't packed yet, that I just went to John and told him that it was really starting to stress me out. But John got a lot of the kitchen packed, and I did a lot around my desk and doing some of my clothes and shoes and such. I didn't "pack" a lot of my clothes, but I left some out that are the ones that I'm going to wear for the next few days, basically making the rest of my wardrobe off limits. Though I am going to go through all of my clothes again today and weed out anything that I don't wear often enough to pack and take with us, so that way I can bring it over to Goodwill tonight. Convenient having a Goodwill right across the street.
My Pampered Chef business did very well during the month of May. I qualified easily, having one show that reached almost $1000 on it's own, then another the very next day that reached over $500. That was incredibly exciting!!! I earn a bunch of new free things because of it now! However, my bookings (the shows I have booked) for the month of June are non-existant. I'm running a catalog show, which is great, but I really need the sales for the month of June, and it's not looking like it's going to be a very strong month. So, if anyone is interested in earning some free and discounted kitchen items, please contact me!!! Catalog shows are the easist thing in the world to do, so if you live a ways away from me, that's no problem! Or, if you just don't have the time to do a cooking show, that's no problem either! If you're not interested, I appreciate referrals!!!
Okay, enough groveling now. Friday I chaperoned John's 7/8th grade band field trip to the Great East festival and to 6 Flags. The festival went so well - both the chorus and the band got gold medals, which was very exciting. The kids were all on their best behavior at the festival itself, so that was good. When we got to 6 Flags, the weather was decent, but after we got in the park, John and I went on a couple of rides, and suddenly the skies just opened and it started POURING. So we (and all of the other chaperones) managed to get all or most of the kids together, and say "okay, do you want to stay?" (Keep in mind, because of the weather, they shut down most of the rides.) Most said yes, some said no, but we waited it out, and said we'd all check in again at 5. That seems to have worked out, when we reconvened, again, most said "we want to stay!!" because they had opened all of the rides back up again. So finally we were like "Fine, but at 6:30, that's it, we're done." So that went over moderately well for the most part. There were some kids that were just soaked all day, and most of them didn't seem to care. I was freezing, but I was glad the kids were having fun. That's who we were there for, it was most of the Chaperones that wanted to leave early. So I was glad that we stayed until 6:30. That was only an hour earlier than we were scheduled to leave, so it worked out.
I should probably go eat some breakfast or something. We have all this food that we're trying to use up before we move, and there's an entire gallon of milk in the fridge that we have 2.5 days to use up. Oops. I guess we thought we'd go through it faster.
Oh, and *hugs* to Kim for being accepted onto SSI, I'm very excited for her. And thanks to her and Chris for coming up to help with the big move on Tuesday. We appreciate it guys!
