So I have to apologize about no pictures yet. But to have pictures you need a charged camera battery. Also to then get the pictures from the camera thingy to the computer thingy you need the wire. When I do come across all of that stuff I will take some pics and fill you all in. I am still unpacking the seemingly endless pile of junk into our 3 bedrooms and yes I am still getting rid of stuff. I am feeling overwhelmed but I do see it coming to an end. I do not have the kids registered into school as of yet because of a mix up between my mother and the lady at the district office. SO- tomorrow I will next conquer that. I am feeling better about the move but still do miss Auburn and my job. The people here are just not the same.

Now my family is dealing with the invasion of their house and lives from 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats and-- yes me. I know it is a huge adjustment for them to get used to. My kids are not quiet.
So now for the long awaited Missy-ism: "I wish we never moved here 'cause Grandma has too many dumb rules!" 5 minutes later she was sitting in her room by herself singing the star spangled banner!! She is very happy to have her new room.

Kyle I think is happy too. He does not say too much about it but he seems way less angry already. There is a male 5th grade teacher at the school who is really involved in sports and I am going to see if they can get him into that class. He loves his new room and the cat loves her new cat tree. But now she is venturing out into the rest of the house like she owns the place!

I went to the DMV the other day to register my car (I got lost because I have not been there in 10-11 years and had to call my mother!) and there was a line to get into the parking lot that looked like it was going to take a hour just to get in! So I left and did it online. In Auburn it takes 30 mins--tops. What a change. Welcome back to the Bay Area---more later.
