Yikes! Our house is
supposed to close on Tuesday. Our new place won't close until at least a day
later because it depends on $ from the sale of this house. So everything we own
will be living in a storage unit, at least overnight! 
While our current
house is by no means grand, the new house is shall we say... much more
humbling... So, I am struggling a little with my attitude
 , but on the bright
side I will be 6 entire minutes away from work!! My current commute takes
anywhere between one hour to 1 3/4 hours round trip, so I will be gaining at
least an hour a day, that's 5 (or more!) hours extra per week. Plus, we will be
paying off all debt and should be able to save a bit while we make long term
plans. So I'm very excited about the changes! (Although, I know I'm going to
get myself into trouble... I've got way too many plans for what to do
with all that extra free time. I know I'm being unrealistic... exercise every
day, cook real dinners, learn new hobbies, play with the kids, read, write, etc,
etc...)So, besides packing
and trying to get last minute details worked out, my dear sister-in-law
persuaded me into having a yard sale this weekend. Really, it didn't take much
persuasion, since I had already been thinking about it. But, that leaves us
with one very busy weekend... Plans for Friday are inspection at the new place,
rent a storage unit, go to work, pick up kids from daycare, get everything
organized for the yard sale, and pack, pack, pack. Saturday will be the yard
sale, host my sister's baby shower (talk about timing! couldn't we have managed
to save one of these.... yard sale, moving, baby shower, for a different
weekend?? ), and pack, pack, pack. I'm starting to think that Saturday may
involve me attempting to be in three places at once.... The question is: am I
really that talented? And Sunday will be more yard sale and hopefully
dragging stuff off to the storage unit. And somewhere in there we need to
squeeze in a trip to Hazardous Waste to get rid of the paint in our garage (from
Matthew's painting business). Ay, caramba!! I'm already exhausted just
thinking about it all. And then I have to work on Monday and sign papers on
Tuesday. And be homeless Tuesday night. And hopefully, start moving into the
new place on Wednesday.
Somebody catch me, I
think I might faint......
