It turned out to be a great skill down the road, and kept me out of the way...and also kept me distracted from the sound of packing tape, which was kind of freaking me out, even though some of my earliest memories already involved moving overseas. Good luck with all of it -- it's a ton of work!

She is a tomboy, so understands things like Pokemon and what things boys like to do. She's also really good with little Chinese girls, as well. Let me know if you'd like me to bring her by one day.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />DonnaDonna W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-68222804429102625792009-06-09T23:58:58.107-04:002009-06-09T23:58:58.107-04:00As for the kids entertainment...

Also, if you are mailing things (we are) on your own then make sure you get a letter stating you are eligible for reimbursement (up to $70 or so..) from Personal Property BEFORE you move.-- Good luck.Karenhttp://www.southofrome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-83848737298119272372009-06-08T22:20:20.171-04:002009-06-08T22:20:20.171-04:00Thanks for the additional comments.

I often compare it to Dillards vs Walmart -- with the px being the walmart! lol It is VERY difficult to get much of anything of quality at the px, especially our px. <br /><br />Also, an Italian friend or two swears by steam cleaners, especially for tile. I don't have one, but I am tempted at times.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772723381708427902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-51549760529587265372009-06-08T12:52:44.445-04:002009-06-08T12:52:44.445-04:00We bought large rugs (10 x 12, etc) plus padding a...We bought large rugs (10 x 12, etc) plus padding at the NEX. I bought some rugs at Sig NEX and others here, but they are run by the same mgt. -- We are up to our eyes in our move. I can't wait for this transitional period to be over!

What a huge relief!!!! <br /><br />On the tile floor thingy, friends of ours mentioned that they couldn't go without a floor steam cleaner mop thingy while living in Europe...no chemicals needed and easy way to sterilize floors. Not sure if easier to think about one there (due to outlet compatabilities) or here. Just a thought. <br /><br />As usual, looks like you have everything under control. <br /><br />Hoping everything goes smoothly!!!Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406295333206138840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-7569941699776990192009-06-08T09:14:53.510-04:002009-06-08T09:14:53.510-04:00It must be exciting and hectic at the same time.
