I really don't like moving...At all.


I really don't like moving, and there are several reasons. For one, it's the packing. I can't stand to go through my closets and find all of the junk that I had put away to make it look like my place was clean. For two, after further inspection of the place we WERE planning on moving into on the 15th, it's not going to cut it. So that leaves us with around 19 days to be completely out of the spot I am sitting right now, and into another dwelling. Go figure, I was just saying how uneventfully my life has been!

The place we were looking at wasn't all that bad. To be honest it came down to two factors. The first being that there are several safety problems as far as the state would be concerned. We'd have problems putting a baby gate on the steps and there was a huge cement stairwell that wasn't blocked in the back yard I hadn't noticed the first time we looked at it. The second is that we could hear everything that the neighbors were doing or saying through the wall. It was a Hispanic family with about 6 little kids. Not going to happen.

So that lead us to yesterday afternoon, when we went to look at a house for rent on 21st. We had originally been told noon, and stood up. I called him and said, "I was told it'd be noon..." He said,"Noon, no sorry, 5 o clock." so we got stood up. The place was in great condition, rent was in our range but I don't think that our california king bed would have fit anywhere in any of the bedrooms. They were tiny! So we crossed that off our list and have to move on. Our options are pretty slim due to the fact we've to live in Nebraska with J until his adoption is final.

Well it's just about 7 A.M. and I need to get ready for work, and some Apple Jacks are calling my name.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
