8 weeks and 4 days

I have now been in our new place for 8 weeks and 4 days. In some ways it feels much longer, but then I also feel like I am still out of place. Many things have been accomplished since moving and many more things still need to be done.

Things I have accomplished since moving:

• found and got myself to the library (already paid my first late fee!)
  
• found a preschool for Caleb
• found 2 grocery stores
• found a cool park for the kids
• unpacked 98% of the moving boxes (actually I can not take the credit for this, my fabulous parents did a HUGE portion too! couldn't have done it with out them....they are the best!)
  
• organized just about everything that has been unpacked so far! (thanks again to Mom & Dad!)
  
• found Mae's school and got her registered in time to start the school year
  
• found a peditrician for the kids (Caleb and Isabel have already had appointments!)
• Set up a doctors appointment for myself
• had the kids medical records transfered to new the doctor
  
• got my eyes checked (new glasses coming soon!!)
• got the oil changed on the truck
  
• found a place to get my hair cut (won't be going back, so this should go back on the "need to do" list...darn it!!)
  

Things I still need to do:

• call garbage company and ask why they won't take the unfolded boxes we have left out at the curb during garbage/recycling day
• finish going through the boxes with miscelaneous crap, whoops I mean stuff.
• sell old tv cabinet
• sell old computer desk
• contact landlord and fill out rental application (but really, if the landlord hasn't contacted me already then he obviously isn't concerned, maybe I'll just wait for him!)
  
• get and install cabinet locks on all Isabel-accessible drawers and cabinets (she's a busy one that girl! arghh!)
• ask Ryan to get wireless "stuff" needed so we can move the computer desk to where I want it to go
  
• call church about Tuesday night bible study
• find a babysitter!!!
• call possible home groups for info about joining
• join a home group
  

There it is, my accomplishments and goals! Whew! I'm sure there is more that I can do but I'm tired of adding to the "need to" list. I do not need to discourage myself with a list that is impossibly long! Altogether it's not a bad list of things done and "need to". Now we just have to settle in a church and make some friends. Then we will be home.
