It's Wednesday night, the truck comes Tuesday morning. I vacilate between thinking we're in really good shape and thinking we're in pretty bad shape. It's had to say. As this is a local move, and the first local move we've done with a car (the rest have been in NYC where once we were able to borrow a car, but it was still a one-day affair), it's hard to say how it's going to go. I know the movers will come on Tuesday and take all the furniture and any box that's been sealed. What I don't know is how much will be left to move after that. I'm hoping three trips. It could be a lot more. There are people who think I'm crazy and I should just have everything packed up and ready to go as if it were a long distance move, but here's the thing: packing it all up now has its down-side, too. For example, had I already packed the bathroom, I wouldn't have had neosporen and bandaids handy when Nora got a boo-boo yesterday. And forget about packing her toys or books, who knows when she'll NEED what and that could be a whole-house disaster! So we're in limbo and we're hanging out here as the boom gets lower and lower. It will all get done, I'm just not sure how.
In other news, Nora told her first full sentence lie tonight. We were at our friends' J+O+M+G who graciously took us in as a diversion from "packing." We were playing downstairs and Nora made a break for upstairs. When SMS went to get her off the stairs she looked at him and said, "Momma told me to come upstairs." No, no I did not.
Other than that she's being particularly sweet and particularly funny lately, which is tons of fun. She is sleeping, but with the changes and crazy schedule that's coming up, I'm prepared to lose a little sleep. Looking ahead there's her birthday, the move, SMS' trip to NY which coincides with a visit from my mom and British Doula, then my trip to NYC, her 2-year check-up (with shots, I assume), a trip to PGH and the start of my new job. Needless to say, between June 12 and July 12, all bets are off and we hope for the best! Here we come, Crazy Summer 2011!
