Kristi is moving - all cheer!!

Yep, Kristi is moving out - and taking her mini me with her. At first Tom and I were not happy about the idea. Alayna has struggled with Tom working 2nd shift and we were really worried that this would be another downhill slide for her, but it was Kristi's decision not ours. Kristi did get an apartment that is in the school attendance area that Alayna currently attends. This is wonderful because this is a small school (only 350 kids compared to 600 in other schools) and the teachers are so wonderful.

Anyway, after further thinking I started to get excited about them moving out.

*Don't have to pick up Alayna every night.

*Don't have to fix supper every night. Can eat sauerkraut every night.

*Don't have to worry about who is in the shower in the morning.

*Can get rid of my "grocery getter" van and get a sports car (ok, I probably won't do this one)

There are a few others. I told mom that she could move into Kristi's "apartment" if she wanted to and then make her apartment into a sewing shack if she would like. This way she could spread out all she wants and not have to worry about cleaning up so we can eat dinner at the table. Our only worry is the stairs. She has issues with climbing stairs but we told her that it is her decision and we didn't care either way.

One thing that could happen if mom moves upstairs is that we can take her small sewing room off the laundry room and make a pantry out of it. It would be nice to have all of our food in one location instead of 4 different locations. But, we won't need as much food with only mom and I eating dinner most nights - so why do I need a pantry???????

Also, mom would enjoy having so much sewing shack. She would have 2 rooms to spread out in and be able to see all of her sewing stuff. Also, she would not have to walk over to the house in all kinds of weather.

Mom and I are going to get season tickets to 2 different plays here in town. We love going to these plays that are put on by local people. I might even join one of them who know!!

Either way...it is mom's decision.

We plan on staying here for another year at least. We didn't want to deal with trying to get Kristi out and us move right away. We need to figure out what is left here, what we need to get rid of, and what we can do without. We want to find a condo or smaller house. Our problem is that we really love living in the country and most houses or condo's are in neighborhoods.

But, KRISTI IS MOVING!!!!! YEA....Is it June 1st yet???
