It's been seven days since my last post, and what a long seven days it was! Thursday was my worst day. The night before I couldn't sleep because my mind wouldn't stop thinking of what I needed to pack... furniture layouts for the new house... it was bad. I slept for three hours on Wednesday night, so I'll say it again: Thursday was bad. Throughout the day I knew I was tired, but it didn't get bad until the evening. I bought a groupon that day that I needed to print and my printer wasn't working so I went to my moms and still couldn't get it to print, and I cried. I cried over a groupon. Then I cried again at dinner with D, people stared, it was bad.
BUT, I rallied! Friday was better, and then Saturday was moving day! It was a terribly hard move, we had so much stuff, and moving from a three bedroom house to a two bedroom proved to be harder than I had imagined. We had lots of help and the loading and unloading was surprisingly fast, but the organizing was sloooooow. By Saturday night I was starting to "get rude" as my mom put it, and I made everyone leave (sorry, everyone!) so we could get some sleep. I knew Sunday would be better, and it was, after an early morning bed wetting incident (not me, D or C. You do the math.) was taken care of, and the post-move-out-cleaning of the old house was finished. We started unpacking and got the girls room completely done, and it's ADORABLE! I'll post pictures soon, I swear... don't hold your breath, but I will.
We're really excited to be here, and the smaller house is actually kind of nice. It has a great layout, the girls love sharing a room and their bedtime chatter is really entertaining! Sam (our dog who goes on hunger strikes when she's not thrilled about something) ate her first meal today, so that's a good sign. Today at dinner G said, "Are we going home? No?" We explained to her again that this is our new home, and she's fine with it. It made me sad but I know this move was the best thing for our family.
Cheers to new beginnings!
