I have never really feared change. I welcome it most times. This is going to be a challenge for the three of us. Our oldest daughter Holly is coming home and she is pregnant with Twins. She needs her family now more than ever and with us having a two year old who has never met her sister I hope and pray that they will be close even though Holly will soon become a mother and have a focus other than her little sister.
The twins are supposed to be a boy and a girl and that will be fun! :o) I never thought I'd be looking forward to having grandchildren but I kind of am! I can't wait to take them to my Grandmother and have pictures of the babies with her! I want to have a 5 generation picture! That will be so much fun! I've got a 4 generation picture of Me, my mom, NikiRhe and my Grandma so now we need Holly and the babies and it will feel complete!
I love my family and I will be so thankful and happy when we can get moved into our new place and start getting ready for the babies to come!

Day 4..Organizing
Today my mom came down and helped me get some things put away and more organized so that we have room. It really helped and we have room to have company as well as walk around and not have to squeeze past each other. :o)
I made Chicken burgers tonight with Avocado mayo. It was good! I did extra school work yesterday and so tonight I just cleaned up after dinner and chatted with some friends. Now hubby and baby girl are in bed so I should probably join them. I'm having trouble getting on a morning schedule. I think it is mostly because I have such a hard time sleeping at night.
Oh well, I'm not real worried about it because she is going down for a nap at one and asleep before 10pm so that helps!
Be Blessed

Day 3..Errands
We started off at 4am taking hubby to work. Niki and I came back home and changed clothes and got ready for our day, then met her Mamuu (mom moo aka grandma) and pawpaw for breakfast in the hotel lobby. Then we came back to our suite and while she played quietly I studied my lesson. We too my step dad to his dr. appointment around 9 and then got WIC and went to UPS to pick up our Watkins order! We LOVE getting our Watkins! Then it was a mad dash back to the suite to drop off our haul and out to Waste Management to pick up hubby and go over to my dad and step mom's to do some laundry and have dinner.
I did a lot today and got everything done that I needed to do including passing my first quiz in Medical Terminology! I was go excited because not only did I pass but I scored a 100%! :)
So now all is quiet in the suite aka house and I have had some time to myself online and just quiet in general...well if you don't include the snoring coming from the bed behind me! LOL
I think I'm going to spend some time talking to my Heavenly Father and thanking him for all the blessings he has given us because despite the fact that we are living in a hotel we are blessed to have what we have. It could be much worse!
Thank you Lord for your Blessings on me!

Day 2
Today we got the bathroom unpacked and we got two more boxes unpacked as well. Niki and I were a little late on getting up for a first day of our new schedule but we will get better with time. It will help that I've been trying to set the coffee pot to brew at 7am so we can have coffee first thing!
We made our beds and walked the dogs and walked around the hotel for exercise! I was nice.
The only thing I didn't manage to do was school work. I ended up taking a nap with NikiRhe today. When hubby got home we went to my dad's to visit with my brother and sister in law and had a good time! I sure miss them living here, and hope they move back from Ohio soon!
Well it's bed time and I need to turn in pretty quick.
Be Blessed

First official full day of Extended Stay living....
We began with the comforting and lovely realization that NikiRhe had asked to sleep in her bed last night and stayed there ALL NIGHT! :o)
I was able to read through part of my first assignment in Medical Transcription last night and tonight I'm going to skip it and just rest! I'm exhausted! I got a lot done today but I still have a lot more organizing to do before I can just do daily maintenance. I'm going to reschedule my Dr's appointment so that I can focus on getting this little space organized and livable.
Right now it is VERY cluttered because it's hard to put things away as fast as it is moved in!
Tomorrow also start's our new schedule! I've got the coffee pot set for 7:00 and I plan to be up and starting my day by 8am!
Well we are turning in a little early tonight so I'm going to go snuggle!

Temporary Home
Today we moved into our transition home. This means that we have moved out of the townhouse that was being neglected by the property managers and into an extended stay hotel for a month or two. This place is actually pretty nice. They have an option that allows people to move their own belongings into the large suites and pay a monthly rate and they get to have a housekeeper come in once a week or twice a month...I can't remember! LOL
My mom and step dad are actually just a few doors down from us and my sister and nephew are one floor up in the next building. So it's almost like we all live together but we have our own space and don't have to be in each other's hair. NikiRhe can visit her grandma almost anytime she wants and we are going to be able to use this time as a huge learning experience.
I have been lax in putting us on a schedule since she was born. I wanted us to just be on our body's natural time clocks and that doesn't always work! hee hee... So now we have plans to start getting up at 8am...getting dressed, walking the dogs, having breakfast, making our beds, doing the breakfast dishes, having a spanish lesson, NikiRhe taking a nap and mommy doing school work, lunch, Imaginative play time, then start supper and tidy up before daddy gets home. Family dinner, do the dishes, then settle in with daddy for some family time.
That's the gist of it anyway. I am praying that God will help me achieve this as we have a small space and this will almost force me to be more organized! I see this as a blessing!
Well it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm finally sleepy! So I'm going to go snuggle up to the hubby and get some sleep so we can get up in a little while to go finish moving our things!
Be Blessed!
