I think I am FINALLY on a good sleeping schedule! FINALLY.

I have been on my own HORRIBLE pattern for YEARS and the move/time change has given me a little help. I am FINALLY going to bed at 10-11 and waking up naturally at 7 or so. It is SO much better to be in sync with the rest of my little family. Sleep is SO important to my little world….and I did not realize it. Yesterday I got ALL of our laundry done, took Adam to the library, found my hiding electronics, did a TINY bit of retail therapy,….does not sound like much …but, for me………the laundry would have been ENOUGH.

I am dehydrated. The air here is VERY VERY dry and I NEVER drink enough water. I woke up around 3am with a HUGE HUGE headache in the BACK of my head…. 100% NOT stress…..100% dehydration. We were warned by a BILLION people….but, I just simply FORGET! We have decided to get a water bubbler thingy….for our house. Just to remind us all….including the kids. Claire is the best at it…she drinks a ton of water at work.

The sun is out until almost 9pm here. It is sort of freaky. During the summer it will be out even longer. The boys used to go to bed at 7pm…now with FULL sun at 7pm…they have sort of revolted! They are now around 8:00-8:30…which seems REALLY REALLY late for me….but, more realistic with the sun schedule. Their behavior is ok with the change, so I think it will probably be ok. Adam needs a nap here and there, but, not every day.

Guess what we get today??? CABLE TELEVISION!!!!!!!! We have been without TELEVISION for almost 2 weeks. I seriously DO NOT MISS IT…not even a LITTLE bit. The boys don’t even NOTICE. Claire on the other hand……….is a TV addict. I love the news…..but, can get it online.

I have a few movies that I did not publish because of my horrible laptop situation in the temp housing. I will put them online later today. They will seem like “oldies”…but, in reality they are only a few weeks old ! Funny how important timing is with media!

A morning blog is something different for me….but, I like it.

Have a super day every one!!!

We did not fall asleep gently. We just PASSED OUT from exhaustion!

I will do updates later today. The move day went perfectly. A few fatalities, including my much beloved huge nutcracker and my desk lamp shade….but, honestly………..who REALLY cares. I don’t.  I have not been able to even TOUCH my computer yet.

I FORGOT TO SET UP CABLE TELEVISION!?!!?? Uh-oh! Well, we will survive…I hope

We are off to get some breakfast, get the rest of our stuff from temporary housing, and shop for FOOD, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies. We could not bring any supplies with us….so…we have NOTHING.

Your support of us during our journey has brought us a sense of peace, love, and balance.  We appreciate your friendship and will be able to thank each of you in person on day soon (probably Christmas/New Year time frame).  Friend is an action word….and each of you simply are the best friends that we could EVER have.

Anne and Claire
