It sounds like the stress relief worked! I've done that before, typed out a long venting post or email, and by the end I was a lot calmer. It is stressful to move, and especially to move to a new city/state. (I did that last year.)  |

I think all can agree moving sucks. I've done it enough to know. |

Yes, moving IS stressful. (That's why DH & I haven't done it in awhile.)
It's a blessing that you found a good house so quickly. Sorry to hear getting military housing was such a pain. |

Moving is stressful. We are in the middle of a move right now. I have been working in new job 5 weeks while DH has been here fixing things in the house and watching the dogs. Youngest kid is away at college so at least we do not have school issues. New job I 4 hour drive from old house and I have been commuting weekly. Thankful for the good gas mileage car and low gas prices.
The last 2 Friday evenings I have received emails with bad news.
On your kids school,at be you need to pursue further. At my old location there was a base with only a small nbwr of military, but all the school systems did a good job about working with them an den rolling them. The normal district for the base was in a bad area, but you could send your kids to two others in counties that were less than 20 miles away. I also hear about how they are making efforts to enroll homeless kids that have no permanent address, why can't they enroll yours.
Also look for some better temporary housing than the Holiday Inn. There are several types of long term temporary housing places that are more like apartments with small kitchens and couches. They make a big difference and are cheaper to stay in. Try InTowm Suites or Extended Stay and look for one that has a separate bedroom

Ratchets,
Now you know what PMS is all about!
Good luck with the move and go for a hike! Got to LOVE this weather! When does MANOPAUSE kick in? If this is what PMS is like I'm ready for it LoL!
It was 80 degrees today...whew! I can't wait to get settled and get our household goods delivered, that's where the hiking boots and such are at. We went to this used bookstore the other day called Bookmans (they are in Phoenix too) and found a couple books about hiking trails here - one was for this area specifically and one was the 100 best hikes in Arizona. There's some really awesome looking trails in that one.
My husband used to tell folks he'd get PMS at the end of every month...Pre Mortgage Syndrome.
Going a little earlier for the hike this a.m. because it's been warmer. Did one of my favorite things last night which is to float in the in ground spa and watch the stars. Tough deal staying here.
BTW I don't know if he still writes for the AZ Republic but John Stanley used to write about some pretty cool hikes in the area too. You might Google his name and see what comes up.

Sometimes, it just takes writing everything down to make you realize that it is not so bad.
Moving is incredibly stressful, no doubt about it. There are just so many unknowns that cannot be controlled and if you have that intense need to control things down to a gnat's ass, it wars with your brain like you wouldn't believe.

How did the hike go, Bonny ?
Gorgeous! What's to complain about when you start at 55 degrees and end at 80. Yummy lunch afterwards.
And I only fell once which is why I recommend boots and trekking sticks!

While it's still cool and nice down there, do the local stuff since it's no hassle. Check out Sabino Canyon and hike up to the 7 falls (think it was Bear Canyon or Bear Creek?) Easy to find, easy to hike and you can get it checked off the list before you start the more obscure stuff in the hiking books. The moonlight hikes in Sabino are nice, too. Do the 7 Falls one before the snow melt season because you cross the creek repeatedly during the hike and the creek can get a little too big/fast to cross if it's a big melt season.
The Gem and Mineral Show is totally crazy. I used to have clients in Tucson so was down there regularly and unless we'd booked 6 months prior, couldn't get hotels in Tucson for that entire time. Spring training (coming up) is also a nutty time, so I hope you have the temporary housing guaranteed until your house closes.

I'm with you Ratchets. I'm trying to figure out how this moving thing is all going to work out. The company moving coordinator is on vacation until the 18th. So, I can't get movers lined up until after that. We busted our butts to get the house on the market last week. I'm working like crazy at my current job, trying not to leave a mess behind. I did have to change my end date so we could take a house hunting trip. My boss keeps trying to convince me to stay here. I also need to fit in a conference on my 2.5 weeks off (on top of finishing packing, taking my DD to her last kindermusik class, being a classroom volunteer at my son's pre-k class). Oh and my DH turns 50 the week we move! No wonder my DS is so anxious to the point of throwing up in the middle of the night. DH and I have both been pretty cool about it, but the not having a place to move to and not ever having been there, is taking a toll on DS. We try so hard to be upbeat and we've been relatively chill. I can just imagine if we weren't how upset he would be.
