Oh, What a Day... part 2

I was sitting here thinking about what to title this blog and I could only think Oh, what a day... and I thought, wait, that sounds familiar and sure enough! My post this morning had that exact same title! I had to laugh at myself. :) But that is how my day was. I was in a much better mood since my thought process this morning. Man, that seems like days ago!

I did not leave today. And I am okay with that. I am only disappointed because I was planning on spending the weekend with family before leaving on Sunday. Our original plan was to leave MBA on Thursday to go to Hanford/Visalia to see my mom and drop some more stuff off at my dads storage, and see my dad. Then Friday afternoon head down to Bakersfield. Maybe have everyone get together (Rob's family is down there) for Sabbath afternoon and leave sometime on Sunday for the long drive.

There have been so many errands that we have had to run that the house has been last on the list. Today, I finally feel like there is an end in sight. I got the kids clothes packed for the summer along with clothes that my mom will mail out as the summer wears on and their clothes wear out. My clothes are packed. I also got Brodys kindergarten schooling sorted and set aside. So really all that is left is all the random things scattered all over the floor. Some things in the kitchen still need to be sorted to take with us or store. And cleaning. See? There is an end in sight!

Let me tell you a little bit about where we are staying and how we are getting there:
-We are staying in a lodge (basically a dorm) at the Black Hills Health and Education Center (www.bhhec.org) in 2 rooms separated by a private bathroom. One room has 2 twin beds which Brody and Jovie will stay in and the other has a queen bed, obviously where Rob and I will stay. There is a common living room with a fridge, couch, washer & dryer. I still don't know about a stove.
-We are driving our Prius back with 3 bikes and a bike trailer on top, 4 suitcases, blankets and pillows, 2 carseats, kitchen stuff, and more things I haven't even thought of yet. I will have to take a picture and post it before we leave. Should be very...cramped. This is what we call Adventure!

All in all, I am very glad it's Sabbath. I have a day to rest from all this craziness. I am going to try to not think about it all day and enjoy my last day at church and with my family here.  We will leave Sunday (hopefully!) and be a couple days behind. And that is okay. It's all in God's timing. And I have a hunch He is trying to teach me something...Maybe patience? Acceptance? That my timing is not His timing? :)

Tonight, I am ditching Rob and the floor and sleeping on the dorm bed that we left in the kids room. A bed and room to myself! Sweet dreams to me!

Happy Sabbath!
