So we’re moving again. This next house will be the 15th house we have bought and hopefully the last; although I wouldn’t count on it.

We’ve also rented at least six apartments. I have painted and wallpapered each place we’ve lived in and I’ve also left behind beautiful gardens, even at the apartments.

I don’t know if I have Gypsy blood, but I’m pretty sure I do.

We have lived in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,  Oklahoma, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida and New Hampshire and are now in the process of moving back to Oklahoma. I guess Oklahoma wins as the favorite.

I started packing the day we sold the house, which was over two months ago, and I am just finishing up tonight, one day before we load the moving truck.

I started packing early because I didn’t want to cut it close, but that didn’t work out too well. I think we have too much stuff!

It’s 11 p.m. and I just sat down for the first time since 10:00 this morning. Unless you count the ladies room.

My daughter Jodie is flying in today with her friend Kelli to drive my car back to Oklahoma and my husband is on his way home from the airport with them right now.

I ache from head to toe and I’m exhausted. I really think I am getting too old to keep moving. If only I could just convince my head that my body doesn’t like this packing thing.

I don’t even want to think about the unpacking thing and maybe I won’t even do it. Maybe I’ll just put all the boxes in one of the spare bedrooms and let them stay there.

Maybe I’ll just sit around and write when we get there.
By the way, I’m writing a book called 15 Houses.

I’ll let you know if I ever finish it.
