I Don't Wish Moving Upon Anyone!

This moving business pretty much sucks. While preparing to move my landlord's daughter said to me, "I'd rather have a baby than move." Ok, what a little bit of a psycho, I thought. I would rather do anything than have a baby! (The labor process, I mean, not actually having the child!) But now I see what she means. I still would much rather move than have a baby, but the pain level is pretty high up there next to childbirth.

The last time we moved we were still newlyweds and didn't have as many belongings to move. We had one less child to move and there was no painting or preparing the new house before we could settle everything. This time we move with much more baggage. And this is the worst part of it all...there is major painting to be done before we can even think of arranging some rooms. Take, for instance, my poor son's room (or what will hopefully be his room today, finally). It was covered in pink paint and flowery wallpaper. Uughh! My daughter's room is slighly better with flowered wallpaper and beige paint. The living room...oh, let's not talk of it anymore. It's almost complete and is completely refreshing my way.

I believe I already mentioned that my father-in-law (the one who's house we are moving into) went into the hospital after a bad motorcyle accident just before we began moving. He is still in the hospital and one of the actual days of our move my younger sister was sent to a hospital about two hours away because it was thought she would deliver her baby 9 weeks early. Aaggh!! Needless to say, my entire family was a wreck! When it rains, it certainly does pour, doesn't it? But you know what? I'm still waiting for that calm just after the storm, and I know that it's coming. Soon.

The children are just waking up so I must leave you all for now. Be patient with me in my current state of chaos! I'll be back in full action soon! I hope you are all doing well and taking care of yourselves!
