Time to go home.

I'm pretty much an all or nothing kind of girl. If I want to be in the cold then there had best be snow. If I prefer it warm then it needs to reach scorching on a daily basis. Just like when we moved down to Florida I packed and left in three days. It's going to take just about the same amount of time for me to be ready to head back up to Yankee-ville. I was holding on for as long as possible but at this point God can't give any clearer signs that it's time to go home.

CONS

*Everything I owned of any value was stolen by the beau's step brother or mother.

*I have now had the transmissions in both cars go out.

*The old lady has battled fleas and heat stroke.

*We are all dealing with the never ending war of the bugs.

*I'm down to a few hours a week at a job I enjoy but is honestly going nowhere fast.

*My good friend is heading back home to Chicago and the other is on her way to start traveling the world (go Diane!).

Just in case that wasn't clear enough the beau is about to loose his job because the..ok I just can't even come up with a description for her,the"co-worker" who we also formerly rented from has decided that she isn't really getting along with him and due to the recent rash of transportation problems we've faced because of the transmission their supervisor is inclined to agree with her.



PRO

*My mom, sister and the other pups

*Pink Kitchenaid stand mixer(need I say more)

*Living in a house with a real yard instead of an apt

*Parking in a GARAGE!!!

I think all of this is a pretty clear message. So I am about to pack up and head up.

I wish I could say I would miss something important but the only thing I'm going to miss even a little is the beach. We have very few beaches in Indiana. We do have lakes though so I'll take what I can get. I'm not sure how much the old lady is going to enjoy her trip back up so starting tomorrow we are going to start tiny car rides to get her used to it.

Wish me luck and send me prayers
