We have had a stressful weekend and busy day today. Although it was busy, much like we expected, we actually worked well together and got everything taken care of. Moving is hard! I'm so ready to be done with moving. If I didn't ever have to pack another box, I wouldn't be sad, honestly!
This morning Nick and I woke up at 0530 to start taking stuff to the dumpster. Nick took it out, I took a shower and started on the inside of the house. We then packed up boxes to mail. We originally started out with 2, but they were really heavy. So, we took the big box that needed to get our vacuum cleaner to the states, and took out all the stuff but light, fluffy things to protect the vacuum. We ended up with 4 boxes today and will have 1 small box on Wednesday to mail out. Nick wanted to mail most of our stuff so we didn't have to lug it through the airports. Flying international, you have to get your bags at your first landing in the states and go through customs, then re-check your luggage. Not a fun task, but must be done.
After the box chaos was done, the kids and Nick took a nap. Well, Xander and Nick got to close their eyes only to have the government knocking at the door to get the bed, couch and table/chairs. Poor boys! So with that, Xander didn't get a nap and he was cranky! Sorry mom for having a screaming kid at my side as I was trying to talk to you.
Nick went to mail the boxes and then checked us into our hotel. It's a pet friendly hotel, but it's disgusting, I think I have fleas all around. Yes, it's that gross! I guess Nick thought it was nice though because when he told me he checked in to the hotel and went to check out the room, he came back telling me it's very nice. Now, I can see where he's coming from. It's almost identical to our old home (I can say that now!) and we have a washer/dryer in our unit! Bonus when traveling! Heck yeah! Well so, Nick loaded and unloaded all our crap. Plus he took the kids to grab McDonalds. Brought some back to me at the old house as I was shining the floors and finishing up last minute stuff. I traded him Hawkeye for some food. So now he has both kids and the dog, plus the food he ordered for them. He finally felt..."how does Bridget do it" Ahem! That's right buddy, every. single. time I go out anywhere, I have to do it!
Nick also told me that I had to do everything on the computer before I came to the hotel because he couldn't get reception. I get to the hotel and I investegate. You have to plug the computers into the cord. Sorry, no wireless, lol. So, we're up and running here. Yah me!!
I was actually quite proud of Nick today because he did a lot of running around to help get things done so I could take care of the inside of the house. I could see he wanted to complain plenty of times, but he didn't. He just pushed through so we could be done! Thank you Nick!!!!
So, because kids didn't have great naps today...this was them with Nick going to get supper...
Hopefully tomorrow I can get the kids on regular naps because they are wore out!
Have a great day!!
