Moving Day

So it's been a week since the movers came and went

And I would rather forget that day

But I will journal it this once

Then when Mark tells me he wants to move in a couple of years

I can reference this and say

HELL NO

I stood here in an empty house from the delivery window of 8-10am

Of course it was closer to the 10am end of the time frame

But they finally arrived

Mark had meetings to go to that day

Why on earth, you ask, one may schedule meetings on moving in day?

I DON'T KNOW!!!

We had one blow up fight about it and then I tried to drop it

Luckily we found an hourly drop off day care for the boys so they spent several hours there that day

Otherwise, things would have been bad

I even tried to start unpacking but found that to be impossible since I was the only homeowner there

I had to direct traffic

This piece of furniture here

That box there

Finally the end of the truck was in site

Then the movers just had to put the beds back together

Screw legs on tables

The such

It was past the boys bedtimes by this point and we were all tired

It takes about 2 hours less to unload than load

but still a very long day

Then they drive away 

And leave you

with all the hard work

Un-packing Sucks

I did get the kitchen finished by the following day

And I am proud to say that 1 week later all the boxes are unpacked

Except the guest room

That doesn't count right?

You have to have 1 catch-all room until everything else is settled

Today I am starting on the hanging of pictures and displacing of knick knacks

I hope that I am successful in that

The cable people have been here 3 times, finally got it all worked out

The alarm people will be making their third visit today as well

I think I have been to Target,Walmart, and Lowes 15 times

My list of things/wants for decorating this place is quickly growing

My laundry piles are growing even faster

I will try to get it all done so I can share photos of the new casa

I really just wanted to sleep in this morning

Mark said he would let me

So sweet, love him

He took the big boys downstairs this morning

Left me feeding Christian

He did not move so quietly in the kitchen

And did not return soon enough to retrieve the baby

So, maybe tomorrow folks

Until then, it's at least a 2 diet coke kind of day
