As most of you know, my silence these days is caused by the joy of moving. Now, moving usually is something that doesn’t bother me, Dave and I have done it numerous times in the seven years we’ve been together. Moving with two kids is a whole new experience. It’s pretty much hell.
Take all of the stuff you have, then multiply it by 2.5 and that’s how much extra stuff kids bring along, at minimum. Then try actually packing their stuff. Toddlers won’t have it. They NEED every single stuffy and toy, even if it’s one they haven’t touched in 2 months. That piece of paper you threw out? Que meltdown, toddlers remember every piece of paper!
Thankfully during this moving process we had my mom and our neighbours to help us out with the kids. My toddler spent the entire last week with grandma and grandpa. The baby gave me a hard time as she wasn’t feeling well, but she spent quite a bit of time snuggling the neighbours.
We still need to get moved in, we had 10 days between closing dates. So until next week we are living in limbo at my parents house. Lucky for us I have great parents, so it’s a week of good food and good company.
Almost there, and it’s a good thing I love the new house because I am never moving again!
