Moving Day Diary 14-16th

By Mamawithflavor @MaWithFlavor
Sorry I am already terrible at this.
So we got rid of a lot of stuff this week. I keep finding clothes that we need to give away as well. But we got a stinger our end of year electric bill. Here in Germany they estimate how much power/heat/water you would use when you move in. At the end of the year if you used too little or too much, they pay you back or you have to pay back what ever is over. We've been lucky and not so lucky.
This time we weren't so lucky, We have to pay back 2 grand yikes. Talk about stressed!
This making me weary of living off post in our next house. Plus less bills and great opportunity to save. Those are the only reasons I want to live on post. But my husband and I can think of soooo many other reasons why we do not want to live on post. We'll see when we get there.
Next on our list is to get rid of all the boxes from when we first moved here four years ago.  We have that taken care of for tomorrow! You meet some funny characters when looking for services and sell things. We also have to get rid of all of our electronics and metal belongings we are no longer using and put together all of the stuff we want the movers to take for our whole baggage next week.
Today I also put in a request to transfer all of my credits to me new university so I can start school next fall *fingers crossed* I really missed school. This term, I can not wait to go back. My daughter will be in school and we are hoping to put or son in preschool either on or off base. We're hoping that it will all work out.
Next we have to get the car cleaned and detailed so we can sell it. Having three kids make a mess of the interior over the past 5 years need extra care. Did I mention we will not have cloth seats for our next car?
 We have a lot to do and organize. So stressful but it's getting me moving and going. Perfect when you're in a slump like I've been in for a while.
Thanks for reading!
