The good news - This day is finally here. Yay!
The bad news - I have a really bad sore throat which totally was not in the plan for moving day.
The good news - I have a 3 day weekend coming up so I'll have plenty of time to rest and heal while I slowly move stuff over. There is no rush.
Will got to buy a new toy for the apartment. He has been talking about it constantly and it has been hard for him to wait to open it. We talked about how it was a little like Christmas and how it can be hard to wait to open the presents. He gets to put that toy together tonight when he sees the inside of the apartment for the first time and so he has something to do while I do a little unpacking.
I'm really hoping he likes it there. Kira won't care. I can handle anything. I just want William to be comfortable there. I'll be observing my little guy all weekend. I think we're doing the right thing not making the move all at once, moving things to the apartment over slowly, buying replacement things for the "yellow house" slowly. Letting it unfold naturally.
Here's to my sore throat magically going away today before 12pm.
Dear sore throat,
I realize Kira has a cold and that for some reason I get sick anytime anyone else is sick. I appreciate how you'll help me build up immunities to whatever we're fighting off but how about we take a pass this time. Let this be a 24 hour sore throat and let my immune system be so strong that you simply vanish in the next few hours. I release you.
Thanks much. Enjoy your day!
Love,
Jen

4 more days...
until we can move into our apartment!
I've spent hundreds on fall clothes and pajamas and groceries and buying all the stuff that you need when you move. I bought a plunger, cleaning supplies, sheets...boring stuff. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of boring stuff that we just didn't happen to have two of around here.
Jeff bought a incredibly large TV. Which I have mixed feelings about because I'm terrified my little monkey of a toddler will climb up onto the stand and topple the ginormous and very heavy TV right on top of herself. I can't even stand the thought of it. It probably won't happen but it could happen and I won't be here to protect her from that.
At my new house - I'm considering enclosing the TV somehow so that it isn't even visable. We'll watch it when we want to but it will be hidden when we're not watching it.
What else did I buy? I bought towels with monkeys (giggle) on them for the kids and garbage cans and salt&pepper shakers and toilet paper and a bookshelf for Kira and mattress pads and bath mats and floor mats and a shoe rack and umbrellas and an alarm clock.
Bins are piled all over this house waiting until Friday when we can start moving things over there little by little and making it a home.
The first thing I'm doing on Saturday is take the kids swimming so they can have a bit of fun at the new house. Then we'll set up Will's new bunk bed and put together my cozy little Ikea chair. That's about it. I'm holding off on too much furniture for now until we get a feel for the place.
I told Will it was a week away and he told me it was less than a week. He's right. We must be all sort of counting down the days.
