Productive Day

Today was productive...though I thought I should have gotten more done.

  • We're scheduled at McChord Sunday night.
  • I hope I have an appt with Sgt. A at 0730 on Monday.
  • I have a tourist passport appt scheduled for 10:30 on Monday.
  • We have discounted rooms from M-F night.
  • I've priced rental vans. Still thinking on that one. If we don't do that, I'll need to get insurance on the van before Sunday.
  • I did more paperwork for Well's Fargo.
  • Mom bought running shoes for Mike and Jared.
  • Mom and I took Stacia shopping for "pink running shoes" - hers were stolen.
  • We visited with Mom and Dad.
  • We got Krista home in time to get to work.
  • We are now going to go relax......and hit it all again in the a.m. - the list is still long. LOL

You KNOW you've been traveling too long when the laptop is called the "big screen" by your son. ::snort::

Tuesday -

I ran wild trying to get THINGS done. I spent a lot of time with Wells Fargo - trying to convince them that though I didn't know my mortgage number it was not fraud to attempt to pay it. ::snort:: I also got some shopping done and waited for Mike to call.

The kids....

Games....Bre played then went to run errands while Krista played....note the cool retro table from craig's list for $20 and the chairs were rescued from a building project for free by Dad. The girls painted them silver and black....and they are decorating the living/dining room with a retro/ black/family theme.

Krista started work last night. She'll be cleaning a medical office.

Today, I need to keep moving. Mom is out shopping for running shoes for Mike and Jared. I'm NOT replacing all that was taken. From what I hear there will be more organic options at the commissary than we had at GAFB...so I'm not replacing food - other than REAL salt. I'm also trying to replace only the things we NEED. I did buy a Canon Powershot SD1200 online....I can't wait for the insurance...need to get what I need and leave. LOL

I'm trying to line things up for a trip to WA and then prayerfully on to Japan. I've decided to wait and go up Sunday. I'm hoping I can get into McChord on Sunday night...if not I'll stay somewhere near the base and be at the door at 7:30 a.m. on Monday....then hopefully to SEA Passport Processsing by 11:00 on Monday....then wait.... Our plan is to stay in the SEA area until we fly out. The kids simply don't want to go up and back again. I don't blame them. I can think of better ways to spend the days before a long, international flight. The kids have to be with me to apply for passports.
