MOVING ~and more paint
UGH... moving is HARD work. We spent all day alternating between playing with Espen & packing & loading stuff into a UHaul truck. WOW... I dug up plants, patched holes, taped boxes, ordered people around! It was tiring! But progress has been made & Monday the movers come to finish the job. Tomorrow looks like a little organization & shopping & purging then we just move on...... and hopefully I can rest from the move! (at least for a day or something!)~.
We took the desk out of the closet it was in & scratched the hell out of the wall so after the paint someone went & came back with a container of the BLUE that we assumed was the right one... WELL big surprise as I was slopping it all over (got it on the floor, my foot, the closet door) I was complaining it was the wrong paint. Someone went to check & as I was FINISHING he came upstairs with another paint can.... and said ~ gee you were right.. it is the wrong color.... UGH ... so I have to let it dry & by the light of day FIX the FIX job... OMG... will the madness never end..... and all he can say is "thank goodness you won't have to be so careful at the new house when you paint because the floor has to be re-done afterwards". GREAT....
The highlight of my day.... getting some fun comment from Lene & a call from Anders.... and a surprise visit from the world's greatest realtor!! If you need one in this area.... call Carrie!! She is awesome! And seeing Espen smile and smile cause DADDY is here! Oh he is happy to see his daddy!! And grandma & grandpa are entertaining too! He loves the people suddenly here... can't stand the boxes & wonders what is happening but he loves the attention!

So we are at the house for 2 more nights & then my mother in law & I will be in a local hotel until we are done and the movers pull out... as soon as their truck leaves ~OURS does too.... I have my laptop back!!! So I can let you know our amazing journey!! And I am quite positive there will be some spills along the way!!!
i know what it is 2 try 2 move. we just bought a house just 11/2 yr. ago.my husband is still trying 2 make it look decent. with me working full time, he is the one that did all the packing and unpacking,painting, and cleaning this place up. god bless you and your family while you travel, and be careful, diane- tia's mom.
