Things I should be doing

With the upcoming move to the new station, I realize that there are many things that I should be doing right now.  For instance:

1. Go through all of our clothes and see what needs to be donated and what is going with us.
2. Finish up a scrapbook before all of our household goods go away for the next 3 months.
3. Research more into how we need to ship our kitty cat.
4. Plan out a menu that actually uses all the food we have before we leave, since the military doesn't let you ship it, even if it is in a can.
5. Sort through the spare room and see if some things can be tossed.
6. Go ahead and pack the suitcases traveling with us with our winter clothes (it is not like we use those clothes here anyway) and get those out of the way so the movers don't take them.
7. Gather up all our info for our taxes.
8. Clean up the kitchen (that always needs done)
9. Wash laundry (that always needs done too)
10. Go through Connor's toys
11. .......12.....13.... and on and on and on.  By the way, we are not even going to mention the garage.

The list is never ending.  However, with all that to do, I find myself sitting on the couch with my laptop and cruising around on Facebook. 

We did get some good news today!!!!  Everyone under the sun has been telling us that there is over a year wait for housing at the next base, and that you practically have to give them your first born child to get into a house.  I talked to them today, and since Travis is going up in rank, there is no wait for his rank/housing.  With us going straight into housing when we get there, that means we will be able to keep our kitty!!!!  All the places that we were looking at online would not let us have our cat.  We were heartbroken to think we would have to give her up.  She is so wonderful and tolerant with Connor.  Plus, she is just a sweetheart.  Living in housing means that we can keep her.

We have less than a month now until all of our goods are shipped and we check into billeting.  It is crazy to think that we are about to be homeless again for awhile, and that we are excited about that.
