House for Sale

That's right. My house is now FOR SALE!
At least it is in my heart.
How many times are we expected to be ripped out of our ward family to be put in a new ward family?

In our ward it has been an average of less than 1 1/2 years for each split in the 18 years we have lived here.

We just got ripped away from the people we have been here with the longest. And sent packing the other direction.

We used to be in the ward we just got put back into, but not for 7 years, before one of the 9 changes in the last 16 years. Don't care to ever go to that ward again.

Since I work in the scouting, I don't work with any women. So, of my bestest buddies that I even have, they are all getting left behind in MY ward. The one I just got ripped out of. They took 2 cul de sacs and my main road for three blocks. That's it.

The man who is now the bishop is one I worked with in scouts and just adore. He was so good to work with. One that actually tried to do his job right. I would've liked him to be my Bishop.

And my boys' baseball coach. The one I hand pick to be their coach. He just got put into my ward, that I just got kicked out of. He would've been great to work with in scouts.

How long do you think it would take to sell this house?

They were obviously counting on my family's large number to help out their ward. It would just serve them right if we moved- and took all our kids with us.

You know that feeling you get when you realize you've lost your credit card? favorite ring? or wallet?
The feeling of doom and despair?
During my week of speculation, (and yes, I did get the boundary change EXACTLY on the mark down so-an-so's back fenceline) I had that doomsday feeling as soon as I realized my new ward was taking us in. A week ago. It was an Ah-ha moment of the wrong kind.

Hubby keeps telling me, just say the word, and we're gone. After the third time, I started to feel like he wants me to say the word.

The StPres bragged about how the computer can do all the calculating to get the numbers they are looking for in each ward. He bragged about "taking into consideration the feelings of those being affected." They got it wrong. They really just got it wrong. Go back and take back the people that you took out of their ward 2 years ago. Leave me with the people and friends I have been with for 18 years.

I have a neighbor that has For Sale signs that he's not using. He said we could have them. I am really going to consider my options right now.

And, right now, it feels like my  House is For Sale!

Homecoming Royalty

At our high school, you only get to be on one "royalty" so this was his chance. He was somewhere between 2nd and 10th place.

Hubby funnies

Setting the table for the homecoming dance for the 4 couples was challenging when we only have 8 spoons that match. Hoping that the spoons are all accounted for, (and clean) Hubby was searching for the ones that haven't been chewed up in the garbage disposal. I pulled out my grapefruit spoon and held it up to him and announced that this one had definitely found it's way into the disposal. He quickly corrected me by telling me that the spoon was really my grapefruit spoon not a disposal victim. I scoffed at him and acted disgusted that after 22 years together, he still can't tell when I am being sarcastically funny.

The couples at the table wanted to know what I was laughing about, so I told them that Hubby didn't know that I was kidding about the spoon going through the disposal. Then one of the girls at the table said, "Wait, isn't that a grapefruit spoon."

Lol, and welcome to my blog!
