I could use about 5 extra of me right now! I'm *supposed* to be looking for houses right now but I need a break, it's giving me a headache. Those houses are not cheap up there! Boy, you talk about a big difference in the cost of living here and there...WOW! I've decided I need clones for the following-
1. I need 1 to take care of the house, kids, and animals.
2. I need another one to go through all of the closets & cabinets and clean everything out. When she finishes that I really need her to clean out the garage. I hope she brings a bikini because it feels like it's 120 out there!
3. I need a third one to house hunt on the internet. It is so not easy looking at real estate when you have to take care of everything else too.
4. I really need a fourth one to just sit and stitch. I have gifts that need to be stitched and my needle has been crying for me...I can hear it sniffling right now.
So if I could just get 4 clones I'd be all set. I have spent SO much time looking at houses online and making notes. Mike & I are going back to D.C. early on the 2nd and will be back about 2 in the morning on the 6. I was really wanting to fly on Midwest again in hopes that I could see Jodi during one of our layovers but no such luck. We get those really good package deals on Orbitz and unfortunately Midwest wasn't one of our choices. We're flying on Continental. I really hope that's a good airline. I know the planes aren't all that big. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...lol. If any of you have flown Continental, I really need for you to tell me how great they are..lol. Our layovers this time are in Cleveland. Boy...I've been all sorts of places this summer. Back to house hunting....I want to have a list of houses we want to see ready so we can spend a lot of time looking at them for at least 1 solid day, probably 2. I still need to call a realtor up there. I haven't yet because we've still been trying to narrow it down to where we want to live. As for me, I'd prefer Virginia but we're having one heck of a time finding something we can afford. I tell ya, you can get yourself a nice shack for $180,000.00! You can get a brand new house here for that! A really really nice one. Geez! We're also taking in to consideration where the train runs, ect. Plus, call me picky but I've been thoroughly searching all the specifics of each town that comes up....ie- the crime rates ect. I can tell you that we WILL NOT be residing in Capitol Heights, Maryland! I'm not living somewhere where the likelihood of me getting murdered is very good...lol. You shoulda seen the info I found on that place...WOW! I don't plan to ever even drive anywhere near that place...lol. I think Hagerstown, MD is at the top of our list but I'm still looking. I've found about 6 houses there that I'm really interested in. I don't know about one of them though. It looks to me like there's a forest behind it..lol. I think Mike wants to live in Maryland and it's looking like he might get his way on this one. Fine by me. If he's picking the city then I'm picking the house. Actually, it doesn't matter because I'm picking the house anyway..LOL! That brings me to this....it's hard to tell by the pics on the internet but it seems to me that there aren't many fenced in backyards up there. Am I seeing that right? Do these people not have dogs up there? If they do, how do they go potty? I'm so not taking 4 little dogs out constantly on a leash. I can't let them out without one. They'd all probably run back to Texas. We definately have to have a fenced in yard. If there's not one then we'll have to put one up ASAP. Off I go...you really wouldn't believe the mess I have here......

I love Continental. We flew with them from Los Angeles/Honolulu/Guam when we moved over here and then when we went back in Apri, we flew Saipan/Guam/Honolulu/Houston/Chicago on Continental. Going home this time will be on Northwest though, I didn't get to pick.
Be sure to sign up for airmiles.
: )
I wish I was there to help you out!! I know a big move like this is very time consuming! You are wonderwoman you can do it! The research is enough to make you go crazy. Continental is a good airline, I think you will be happy with them! Keep us posted.
Sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed Jen, but it'll be over with soon and you'll be happy and settled!! Wish there was something I could to to help!!
