I haven't forgotten you. I swear. I think of you all many times every day and I wish I could be sharing all my thoughts with you. But I honestly haven't been sitting down for quality time with the computer of late.
My awesome and uber helpful Mom just left last night. She was with us for 11 days and we accomplished a lot. She is an amazing organizer and packer and kept things moving along. From packing our stuff, to doing our laundry, to feeding my kids and wiping their dirty bums, my Mom was there for me. It was not always pretty, but we made it through a very crazy time together as a family. I hope I will be able to do the same for my kids one day.
Buying your first home and then embarking on a ton of repairs is nuts. All those nights of watching Home Garden TV couldn't have prepared me for what has happened in the past month. But I remain so very, very excited to move into our new place. It's not ready and nor are we, but in the next month it will all come together, I'm sure.
With both kids at home, I am now rather limited in terms of what I can achieve in a day (like meeting numerous contractors and hauling 3 car loads of stuff over before dinner). But I figure we did so much work that I'm going to try and have some fun with the babe before she returns to school on September 1st. The kids have been holed up here far too much and while I got a lot of work done, they have not had all the summer adventures they were supposed to have (2 weeks in Canada and a week at the beach). Watching Mickey and Dora while Mom and Nana pack is not going to make up for that.
So hopefully we can make the most of the last few days of summer vacation and just have some fun. Because we are all due for some.

wow, sounds crazy! When are you moving? And pictures??? Yeah, just relax now for a bit....it will all happen, somehow. May as well surrender to parenting for a while...that's busy enough.
