Moving Day is Here

So, it is 11:30am and we have already had snowstorms, doctor appt's, drunk people and lots of moving going on. Here is a recap so far...

Up bright & early, hubby had to snowblow our driveway for the movers, then my dad's b/c he is on crutches from knee surgery (yes, he earned many brownie points for that from me), and now he is currently at the new house snowblowing the driveway so they can get in there. He ought to be pooped just from the snow removal part of his day...never mind the move.

Here is cherub 3 at the doctor's office at 8:30am. He has some virus. Ya know, non-treatable, 7-10 days to run it's course. Of course you aren't supposed to wish for strep but secretly I wanted it to be so I could give him medicine and have him feel better. He is resting at Nana & Pop's during the move.

Here are cherub's 1 & 2 who we sent out to play in the snow to get them out of the way. Since they are kids with selective memory, they seemed to always be in the same room as the movers no matter how many times I shoo'ed them into another. Now they are at the (currently empty) new house with Grammy, Grampy & hubby. Empty for now.

Here is Grampy after loading the snowblower to bring it to the new house!

Here is the truck half loaded at 11:30am. You can't see him but the mover that is in the truck is the one that hubby thinks is intoxicated. Hmmm, good thing he is not driving. The other two are fine, including the one driving. I guess that is good? I couldn't tell but hubby said he smelt it on his breath. Maybe last night's activities are lingering?

Moving Day-Tomorrow!

Boxes packed, cherub's excited, blizzard hit today, movers comin' anyway!
(That's the plan.)

Best Part of the Day

Making a snowman with cherub 2!

Nuts.Zapped.Slaphappy.No dizzy.Pooped.Boxes.

Today was nuts. Literally. Try to keep up: shower, over house, remove dishwasher w/ FIL, ZAPPED (below), to Radioshack in neighboring town to pick up robots on hold (for boys), realize they were trying to sell me 2 good ones, 1 crappy, off to another Radioshack to buy third one. Are you kidding? Book the movers. Bring cherub 1 to friends, pick up paint, drop off with FIL, check on floor progress, meet mom at hospital, stay awaiting Dad's knee surgery results, stay in recovering until his dizziness goes away (he is good now, went well), home, pack with MIL, break up cherub's fights, help clear brush to be hauled away (from ice storm), more packing with MIL, break up cherub's fights, more packing with MIL, make dinner, ignore cherub's fights, clean up, pack with BabySis, clean up, blog.

Below are some funny moments in our crazyiness!


FIL got me good! We were removing the old, yucky dishwasher from the new house and I was holding it up as he was disconnecting the wires underneath it. All of a sudden he jumped, wriggled and screamed like he was being electrocuted. I screamed, 'OMG'! He started laughing and chuckled 'I got ya. I've got to keep you on your toes MB!' He got me alright. I was the one who got zapped!!


MIL was trying like a trooper to entertain the cherubs and STOP their FIGHTING! She got cherub 1 to join in (aka- cherub 1 took 5 minutes off from toruring cherub 2). Yes, the packing with background noise of the cherubs fighting made us a little slaphappy!



MIL say cheese! Thanks for all your help today!!


The kids are pooped (from 5 straight days of being together, fighting with each other, staying up late and going back and forth between houses). Good luck to their teachers tomorrow, they are way off schedule.


The picture is kinda dark, cuz it is dark now, it's late. But, can you see the pile of boxes? Making headway as the panic sets in. 3 more days to pack.

Where have I been?

SO, officially it seems like I dropped off of the blogsphere. I have realized after being without power for 2 1/2 days that I am extremely thankful for our heat and electricity. Our world is crazy. We had a major ice storm that blacked us all out and today it is 65 degrees! Wha?

Now, we are in the middle of packing and moving craziness. We are scheduled to move this SAT! That is right. You read the calendar correctly-4 days before Christmas we will be sleeping in our new house. This week? New floors, rugs, kitchen counter, appliances, track down movers and pack.

Don't forget...Santa still has to come. Hmmm. Who needs elves now?

(BTW. The cherubs were making another xmas list today. Ummm, I think Santa is done. Don't ya think. Adding on at the last minute may or may not be possible. Ugggh. Isn't he packing the sleigh already?)

Dear Baby Sis,

Yes, I just said SORRY to my faithful blog readers (see previous post). I owe you a glass of wine.

We are the sorry twins, baby sis and I. We have been apologizing our way through life. So, now I have hit a new low, I am apologizing to my virtual friends. I need an intervention.

Dear faithful readers,

Sorry for the lame posts or should I say non-existent posts. I have been really beat lately with all of the moving/Xmas prep. So...off to bed and just maybe I can catch everyone up on the mayhem that is our life.

Moving during the Xmas season should be illegal.
