I really did have a good day today, but some things are hard to get used to. For example, today I went to go get gas. That shouldn’t be too difficult. Right? Wrong!!! I was so excited a few months back when I found out that you can’t pump your own gas here. Isn’t that great? NO, it is not. It takes FOREVER because you have to wait for the guy to come pump it for you and if the place is busy, you might be there awhile. To complicate things, the place I went to today only takes cash. So I had to run in and give the cashier my money, then she gave me a receipt that said I had paid and ONLY THEN would he pump my gas. It took me 15 minutes to do all of that.

Baseball sign-ups for this summer end on Friday. In other words, I have to get Colm signed up for baseball ASAP. I went to go get him signed up today and I need TWO forms of ID that prove that we live within a certain boundary. Really? Two? I just want to sign my kindergartner up for baseball, not apply for a passport. Since I have only lived here since late Saturday night it is pretty safe to say that I don’t have two forms of ID right now. After much pleading and cajoling I talked her down to one. Geesh!!!!
We have no furniture. None. No beds, no couches, no tables…we DO have a TV though. Liam was making due and using what blankets, pillows and soft foamy things we do have to try and get comfortable enough to watch the Superbowl.
We have been taking our animals to the same vet for 13 years. I went to high school with their son and when I told them we were moving, our vet’s wife, who also works as the office, started to cry. They gave me a hug on the day we left. I don’t think too many people can say they’ve been hugged by their vet. I will surely miss them.
As I was saying before, I didn’t exactly make it to all of the restaurants I wanted to go to before we left. This one was not on my list, but it was on Colm’s. Really, who can blame him? 🙂
Before we left, my MIL and I took the boys to see one of their great-grandmas. I love this woman. She is kind to a fault and has always treated me as one of her own even though, technically, she’s Sean’s grandma.
I had all kinds of culinary goals before I left, but I must admit I didn’t make it to half of the places I would have liked to have visited. I DID, however, make it to Dean and Deluca. LOVE that place.
