Heading West

 Yesterday was spent working, cleaning and packing in anticipation for our Spring break getaway to Ohio. Scott is really looking forward to spending Easter with his mom again this year. This morning we are heading to pick up the rental van before throwing our bags in the back and driving west. As always, a big shout out to my sister. This year she is not only coming to house sit the cats, but she has agreed to keep the 3d printers running during her stay.  

I must admit that I am dreading the long hour drive with my children. When they were young I managed to convince myself that travel would ease when they became older. Timmy is now 9 and I'm still waiting for the near constant bickering between him and Robby to stop. Hopefully the cellular signals will remain strong throughout the drive so that fighting will be kept to a minimum. 

Wish us luck!

Trash

 Happy Spring Break!

This morning I woke early and crept to the couch to begin work. I tried to be as quiet as possible because everybody else is on vacation and I didn't want to disturb their sleep. Well, everybody except for Friend. He was more than willing to rise early with me. At first I was optimistic that he was going to snuggle on the couch with me but he scampered back to bed as soon as I brought him in from his walk. Apparently a warm bed trumps loyalty.

We don't have a lot of plans for Spring Break so I'm hopeful that we can start working on packing up the house. We really need to order a dumpster to help purge the junk. Perhaps that is a good place to start? The amount of trash that we have accumulated since moving into this house nearly two decades ago is both embarrassing and overwhelming. 

I suppose we just need to get started so today seems like a good day to order that dumpster.
