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.
