Underway... Ish

I have now officially started the getting of the shit together... with paperwork. Odd place to start? Well, it is a small thing, but something I could tackle and do in a sitting, and to my muchly fucked up brain was a task I could actually start and finish in a sitting. I ganked a binder from my kid and stole some unused school folders. The one thing I am good at keeping straight is paperwork. There ain't no way in hell I am going to sit in a lobby waiting for some schmuck to send me away to return later because I don't have a copy of some paper or another.

I have receipts, letters, notes, shot records, passport pictures, bills... even original copies of orders from our trip here 6 years ago. I made spots for transcripts, clearances, insurance papers, inventory lists... even a little pocket so I can print out pictures of every fucking thing we own, in case it is broken or lost in transit I can make my claims. I also have a comp book that I am filling with notes and info and phone numbers of places to call to get the info I need, even if I can't do the things required by them- the having of information will allow me to sleep at night.
Got to talk to my bud Heidi last night. She went through this shit last year... Helps having a mentally grounded contact, so that when I am about to beat my head against the wall and curl up into a fetal position, I can call and scream, rant, and rave like a fucking lunatic to someone who understands and who can offer me counsel from an insider's perspective... Especially all the shit *I* will be dealing with as the mom/wife that you don't find on many websites that talk about military moves as if the guys are leaving bootcamp with nothing but a back pack and a bad hair cut. (Holy fuck that was a long sentence!)

Now I have a starting point. I made out a list for each room of shit to do... now I just have to get it done, and when needed, get help. Hmmm... Help might be a bit of a problem- hard to find someone I can hire who can actually get on base, and co-worker volunteers are going to be few and far between with the whole four flights of stairs and heavy shit to haul issue. How does this sound?
