My " OH SHEET" moment

Well here we are, my oh SHEET moment. Today Gerry has CQ and he called with the best news, our orders are in and we are to report to our new duty station by March 10th. As I am on the phone with him I am all excited and can't help but wonder what this new duty station has in store for us. He tells me that he is taking his leave starting 1 Feb. THEN it hits me, oh shit, that is 3 weeks away. WHAT!?!?!
So now I'm thinking there is so much to do and almost NO time to do it in. We need to get passports, but damn that is bound to take more than 3 weeks. There are appointments to be made for both us and the animals. I have to clear my unit, housing must be notified. Which brings me to a new thing, I needed to have my garbage disposal and upstairs toliet fixed. DAMN. Cars need to be winterized and one needs to be shipped. Ferry reservations need to be made. Which is another bumb in the road, either we leave WA on the 18th and cut our time short with family, so we can have a 2 day trip on a boat, or we leave on the 25th and have a 5 day trip. OH MY!!
Really at this point I KNOW I am over-reacting and just need to take it one step at a time but Oh Boy! I knew that this was all coming and I am ready for it, but for some reason it feels like it snuck up on me. I just want to thank the ARMY for taking it's sweet ass time to give us our hard orders and making me feel like I am crazy. All in all, I know everything will get done and in a few months I'll look back and laugh, but for right now. . .. . . . . .
