Ready, set, gooooooo!

That would be my monkey's favorite expression.  All day long he shouts that phrase at any opportune moment: stopped at a red light in the car, pushing a toy car, riding his rocket, getting up from the couch... You get the idea.  It is adorably cute sometimes and just annoying at other times.

The thing about hearing this expression ad nauseam is that it makes me think about all the things I'm currently trying to get set so we can go.  I'm getting our bags set so we can go to Disney World for our first vacation since the year before the monkey was conceived.  I'm getting our lives set so we can move to Erie in 2 seemingly short months for my residency.  I'm helping to get the hubby set for looking for a new job.

I'm ready to do things, and I'm desperately trying to get everything set, but for somethings I'm not sure if I'm ready for go.  I'm definitely ready to go to Disney.  We are all in need of this much longed for vacation.  A time away from our worries (or at least from constantly worrying about our worries).  A time away from our day-to-day routines that are starting to make the days blend together.

However, the job searching, house searching, moving searching has me scared to death.  This is the biggest move I've done yet, which says something as I've moved 8 times in the past 10 years.  And this time I have a toddler in tow as I move to an area I've only visited once and really don't know at all other than it has the job I want, good schools, and affordable housing.  Oh, and a giant mall.  Because you can take the Jersey mallrat out of Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey mallrat out of the girl.  :-)

I think when I get back from vacation, I'll worry about the part where we goooooooo!
