For having nothing planned, it was a very busy weekend. ; )

Bob finished painting the cabinets. I've never been one for white cabinets, but against the dark green walls, they look really nice! Even the ugly ceiling light box looks nice now. LOL!

So that means I can get back to having herbal guild meetings at the house again. That will be nice, I've missed everyone. AND, I can get back to working on a *supporting* cotehardie! Woohoo!

Other than the painting, there was just a lot of domestic stuff to be done... cleaning, groceries, laundry. Oh! Speaking of laundry, the new dryer was delivered Saturday. Its really nice! YOu don't set the time, it *senses* the moisture level in the clothes and dries accordingly. Laundry goes so much faster when I don't have to run each load through the dryer twice!

Jessie is going down more easily in the evening now. Its the funniest thing, all I'm doing is spending a minute or so talking to her in her crib or straightening something in her room before I turn out the lights.

We'll read a couple books and have a good night hug (as usual) but when I put her in her crib, I just wait a bit before turning off the lights. She'll hold my hand for a bit after I *blow out* the lights. ; ) But soon she lets go and rolls over and is out. No crying or very, very little and she's asleep in 30 minutes or less. That's ALOT better than it has been... lots of crying and over an hour. Wish I'd have thought of it sooner!

Bob made a fire in the chiminea last night after the kids went to bed. Kind of in celebration for finishing the cabinets. He's painted just about every square inch of paintable surface in the house! I don't think he ever wants to paint again!

We sat and talked for a couple of hours. It was nice. Of course a lot of the conversation centered around the possible move. We share the feeling that many of our friends don't understand why we are moving and are perhaps a little put off by it. Most of them do not have kids and really like living here. Its not that we don't, cuz we do! But we've decided to persue dreams that can't happen here. Pat seems to understand, but she has a daughter.

Its also hard to talk about the move a lot because it is financially motivated... as in don't have enough money and is, in a weird way, embarassing. Sigh. On top of that, its not set in stone, so much is up in the air. Feels weird to say "we *might* move, we might not."

So we're feeling a bit stranded among friends... they don't understand why we're going or would want to go and we don't know how to explain it.
