I’m sitting in a hotel room in Shreveport, Louisiana, tired but not able to go to sleep! So let me catch you up on what’s happened since last post!

Wednesday the movers arrived at 8:30 bright eyed and bushytailed….at least someone was, I was exhausted. But things got moving pretty fast and it looked like they would be done around 4 or 5 o’clock! Not bad for all of our “stuff!” Well….things didn’t go as planned. It rained, off and on, so it delayed things….and apparently we had acquired quite alot of “stuff” while in Georgia because they just kept bringing more and more “stuff” out! I thought it would never end!

During this time, the driver for the transport company who is transporting two of our four vehicles called and informed us that he had been delayed in Oklahoma City and wouldn’t be to our house till the following day! Well, that wouldn’t do since we would be gone! So after calling our coordinator and few more phone calls, they arranged for the cars to be picked up a few hours later. That really was the only major snag we had other than the rain.

Four o’clock passed and there was still alot of house left to be loaded…so we changed our plans about leaving and driving for a few hours that night, by then we were dog tired! It was 8:30 when the 55 foot semi moving truck was fully loaded (and I mean Packed FULL! ) pulled off with all our belongings. We had been going since six o’clock in the morning and the only thing I wanted was a shower and a bed!

We drove to the other side of Atlanta, all four of us starving, sweaty, smelly and tired. We didn’t look to great at this point and didn’t care to much what anyone thought, so we decided that Waffle House was the place to go. I had never eaten at a Waffle House before, though everyone else in my family had at one time or another. I don’t know if it was because I was so exhausted and beyond starving, but it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had!! There were some “regulars” in this particular one we stopped at, and they were getting quite a kick out of listening to the Waffle House Newbie! It was fun and it was good!!

We did get a good nights sleep. All of us crashed as soon as our heads hit the pillow! But we felt better this morning…amazing what sleep will do!

After driving to Shreveport, we decided it would be fun to go to one of the casinos for a few hours to just have some fun, and it was! We went to the Horseshoe Casino, and Big D won some money on a slot machine…that made him happy. Me too, because what’s his is mine!

We will be in Texas in the morning, stopping to see D’s parents for a few hours and then on to Fort Worth. It’s been an adventure. My next post will be when I’m officially a Texan again!
