We're Here!!!

Tonight will be our fourth night in our new home!!  So far, we are loving Wisconsin...the people here are sooo nice and welcoming! :)  The kids seem to be adjusting to their new schools fairly well...especially my seven year old.  I expected some bumps in the road for my middle schooler, but things are getting better each day.  I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked, but it will all be here tomorrow (unfortunately)!  My refrigerator is currently empty aside from some milk and a box of frozen waffles.  I wanted to wait until my new fridge got here before I did a grocery trip, but I don't think I can eat take out that long.  So, I guess we'll check out the local grocery store this weekend (I've heard mixed reviews...I'm hoping it's passable).  My husband has been home all week and will go to the office for the first time on Monday.  I'm sure Monday will be an interesting day for me because it will be the first "normal" day (hubby at work, kids at school, and me all alone with the moving boxes)!  Hope everyone has a nice weekend.  I'll be back soon! :)

Finally!

So, it's about four 'o' clock in the morning.  The dryer is going because when I woke up a little bit ago, one of my first thoughts was "oh crap, I never finished the laundry".  After a crazy day of finalizing closing times/dates and packing/sorting, I guess I conked out before I got that last load transferred to the dryer.  Last night was our final night in our house!  The movers will be here in about four hours to start packing things up.  Depending on how quickly the packing process goes, they may end up loading today as well!  That would be great because that would give me all day tomorrow to do some last minute cleaning before closing!!  Yes, I said closing!!  We are finally going to close on our house tomorrow!!  Tomorrow, tomorrow....the sun'll come out tomorrow!  Ok, ok, I'm getting a little carried away but I seriously could have burst into song yesterday when we got the news!  It was a whirlwind of a day and I suspect that today will be no different.  Of course there is some mix of emotions going on in the house, but I think my adrenaline is subduing any boohoo feelings right now (of which I am eternally grateful)!  I'm hoping that today goes smoothly and that by nightfall the moving truck will be packed and loaded for the trek "up North".  I guess I should try to catch a few more z's, but I don't think that's going to happen.

I don't know how long it will take to get our internet up and running when we move, but I'll be back with a post about our big moving adventure!

Still Here!

I should be sitting in my new house right now, exhausted after a busy day of moving!  Instead, I am still in my "old" home waiting.  Our closing date on our current house had to be postponed by two weeks, so, hopefully two weeks from now I will be sitting in my "new" house! :)  Hoping that the old saying is true "good things happen to those who wait"!  Yesterday, we made some good progress in the kids' rooms.  The majority of their toys have been boxed up and I'm hoping that over the course of the week they don't become "unpacked"!  I think we are all at the point where we want to just be settled.  I'm hoping that there are no surprise changes in closing dates this week!  I'll be back when I know more.
