The Move...

I still don't have pictures of the new apartment to post and for that I'm sorry. Today is Thursday and this move is kicking my butt! Everyday I have been packing (or unpacking) boxes (and sometimes both), running up and down stairs to get things ready for the evening shift, and then in the evening we work for 2 hours running up and downstairs. Let me tell you how out of shape I am ( I know that round IS a shape).

My body is bruised and broken and I still have today and tomorrow before the big stuff even gets moved. Hopefull today we will get all the boxes done and then tomorrow it will be just the closets and small electronic to be moved. I think I'm going to unhook the computers today. We have called in help...since we all are just about at our breaking point and I'm afriad to that I'll get strep throat if I don't slow down soon. Don talked to one of our new neighbors and he will be helping us pack up the 3 cars (we are paying him by giving him our grill-which has only been used twice- and the bag and a half of charcoal). (Oh I forgot to tell you that we are borrowing a flower van from the funeral home to get more stuff moved in the evenings.) We also were able to talk the 2 sets of sister missionaries to help at some point this evening. I think they are coming in shifts...one set to pack up and the other to unpack. I think if I can get everyone organized it shouldn't take us too long. Most of the boxes for todays move are light (compared to the first night when we moved all the food storage which were boxes of can goods).

Saturday we have lined up some male missionaries and some men from the ward to help move the big things. We are paying them off with frozen pizzas and root beer floats. I was really lucky when planning what to fix for the moving party...frozen pizzas went on sale 3 for $10 and the buckets of ice cream went on a great sale too. So that sealed the deal for me. I'm using the plasic cups, silverwear, and plates from foodstorage (since the hurricane season is almost over I feel it's okay to use some of those and restock after the first of the year).

Well--Tigger is telling me it's time to start our day. I hope you all have a great weekend...have some fun for us because we aren't going to have any! Good luck to those losing weight...I'm hoping to kick some major butt this week!
