    Default Nerves!

    Alright.. Today's our last *full* day in Rhode Island. We leave tomorrow afternoon (The latest, depending on how long it takes us to load the truck up), and I was fine up until now. Now, my stomach's all in knots, and I'm all antsy. It's in a good way though, it seems. Last time we attempted to move (we had just loaded up the car and threw the rest of our stuff in storage in '02), we got as far as 95, and turned around. I just had a bad feeling about it back then. But, now we both feel right about it, so I guess it's just a little bit of nervousness thrown in with excitement.

    Tonight's going to be very hard, because My In-Laws are coming over (with Pizza!), and when we saw them last night, they both were looking depressed already. My Father In Law is so attached to Delia, and thinks that she'll forget him before they visit us in October. It's definitely going to be hard. I predict lots and lots of crying.

    Anyway.. I need you all to calm me down a bit so I can focus on getting the rest of my packing done.. LOL.. Help!

    Oh Rhi, I go through this a lot. I'm on the road for work and it's jarring to jump around....you feel bad about the people you leave behind; in your heart, you feel close to them all the time, but some people (like my sister) prefer people be physically present all the time and not just on the phone or e-mail. I don't want to add too much personal info, but for many reasons I'd rather be home, but that cannot be.
    So...don't be afraid of all the tears. I suggest breaking out some nice wine or beer and having it with dinner (yep, what goes good with pizza?) and just speak openly about the hows and whys of keeping in touch.
    Kids aren't as forgetful as they act (like when they "forgot" they broke something, hah, or "forgot" to clean their room) if you keep pictures of their grandparents around, and talk about them, and maybe even get a cam for the computer, the grandparents will be almost just as present as if you lived down the street.
    Distance/ life in America is different than it used to be- even with layovers, airline flights in the 48 take about one day. Bus trips are 1-3 days over a few thousand miles. Ironically, the last time my family lived in one house, we NEVER saw eachother- different work shifts, school sports, out with friends, sleeping at different times....once my sister and I ran into eachother at a gas station after missing eachother at the house for days. How funny is that?

    Rhi, I remember when I moved to the UK...my stuff was picked up by the movers a couple of days before I left. It was sooo odd, looking in my parents' living room and basically seeing my entire life in boxes and suitcases, preparing to be moved 6000 miles from really the only "home" I'd ever known. But when moving day came, and my parents were driving me to the airport - for the first one-way flight of my life - that's when it hit me, and I was only excited...as if finally, at 30, my life was beginning.

    I totally agree with madmaxine about kids...they retain a lot more than we think. My nephew still remembers the little things about his mom, though she passed away 2 1/2 years ago. And my mom tells me that he's picked up a lot of *my* habits, mannerisms, and likes (especially watching sports and doing his own play-by-play), even though he only sees me once or twice a year. So I wouldn't worry about Delia forgetting her grandparents at all

    Congrats to you and your family on your newest adventure!

    I work in Memphis, and I'm pretty familiar with the town and know quite a few folks due to my previous consulting job. I'd be glad to help with any info, good luck to you on the move. Maybe ya'll can come hear my band play sometime

    Rhia,
    You will only be nervous for the time the computer is packed away and you are not online. Wait!! We will be in a frenzy too! Hurry! Get packed and moved before palpitations set in for all of us.

    Thank you all so much!

    Velvet & HairGuitar, I'll be PMing you later this evening. Just finishing up on packing before the In-Laws get here. I appreciate any advice and information you'll be able to give me. We know a total of 2 people in Memphis.. LOL.. And one of them is the Hubby's new boss whom we haven't met yet. He did tell us what areas to stay away from though, which is good. Working in merchandise rental has its advantage sometimes.. LOL

    Heh.. I told ya babes.. The computers are the last things to be packed up, and the first things unpacked. RoadRunner will be there on the 2nd to hook us up with our cable, phone and internet. DSL is wonderful and all, but Cable is soooo much better. Weee!

    Well, that can vary here in Memphis ;-) Roadrunner is great until you have a problem lol. And make sure someone is there the day they're supposed to come, otherwise you could be SOL for a while if they show up and no one's at home.

    Hey Rhia, you know it's perfectly all right to drive as close to 95 mph as you're driving on the I-95 out of Rhode Island. You could always get a really big pitcher of Drunken Donuts coffee that you could reheat when you get to Memphis. Good luck on your move and see you online when you unpack.

    Thank you all.. I'm unplugging my beloved computer right now.. LOL.. We're heading out in just a bit. Everyone keep the Lounge peaceful for Pryce til I get back on Saturday..

    (((Hugs)))

    Keep your fingers crossed that we get there in one piece, and that I don't stuff the Hubby in the back of the Uhaul for yelling "COW!" everytime he sees one on the side of the road on the way down. You wouldn't believe how many of them are grazing on the way down! LOL

    See ya soon!

    I have read that moving is one of the top 5 most stressful things a person does in life and having moved a few times myself, I believe it.

    Best wishes on your move and many blessing on your new home !
