November 20, 2010- Exception to the Rule...

     Since I began this blog back in the summer, I have been exceptionally good at keeping it up daily and rarely not writing something every 24 hours.  For this, I am pretty proud of myself because that was part of my goal when I started, to write something everyday. So, I want to thank my faithful readers for holding me accountable and keeping me writing. Now, I must apologize for getting slightly more than 24 hours behind.  It is now Tuesday morning on the atoll, and I am playing catch up on the blog! There’s always an exception to the rule it seems, especially for an English teacher like myself! That darn English language appears to be nothing but exceptions to the rule when you are teaching it to others, and so I now have an exception to the rule for missing a couple of days on my blog, moving! Whenever I am moving, you might expect that I will get behind on my

writing, unfortunately.  Hopefully, I will not be moving very often, so I will be able to keep up better on my blog.  At any rate, if you have been waiting to see what happened over my weekend, I know, you ARE waiting with baited breath and hanging on my every word, right?! :) Thank you for your patience and understanding. 

     Now, back to the events of Saturday. I left work a bit early to move more essentials over to the house before the boys arrived home from school, and I’m so glad I did.  Going up and down three flights of stairs and cattycorner across the street just to get the basics at the house took a lot more time and trips than I thought.  I will definitely get my arms and legs worked out before this weekend and move is finished! Thankfully, my honey arrived on the plane from Roi just minutes after my babies arrived home from school. And after an early dinner at the snack bar, sending the boys off to football practice and boy scouts space derby registration, we shopped for some rugs and tools for putting up window coverings, then headed to the grocery store for breakfast items, and it was back to the house to get down to the real work! I unpacked and arranged, took more trips back and forth to the BQ, and freaked out when I thought the shades I ordered wouldn’t fit, while my boyfriend calmed me down by reading the directions for the shades and installing them, showing me they were just perfect for the house! Thank goodness as we are on the main road, and I really don’t want all my neighbors and their neighbors and the whole population of the island checking out my new digs every time they ride to the store or post office. :-)  Now that the boys have arrived safely at home from their events, and my sweetheart has finished putting up the shades in both the bedrooms, it’s off to bed as we have a big day tomorrow! It still doesn’t feel quite real yet. It’s been a long three years in a BQ without a place for my boys, but I’m sure as we move all the comforts of home in here tomorrow, it will become all I have every wanted and more!
