Two big events to talk about today.

#1 - We will be moving soon. Hopefully when we go Thursday to pay our deposit the landlord will give us an exact move-in date. I am shooting for May 15 since we have our current digs until the 31st. That will give us a little over two weeks to get all of our stuff from one place to the other. This house is $25 ( Read more... )

How sucky! makebeliever May 5 2010, 05:54:26 UTC

I'm so sorry you hurt yourself right before the big move of oh-ten. Please take it easy as much as you can so you don't reinjure anything. I wish I weren't across the state and working or I'd totally come help you move. Try not to stress out too much. You are totally an awesome mom for throwing your knee, back, etc in front of Benjamin (figuratively speaking). Now you have all the bruises to prove it!

Yeah, I feel like Super-Mom indeed! I totally wish you were not so far away too. Not that I need more help with the move really. You and I could relax while the guys did all of the heavy lifting. It would just be nice to be able to see you and hang out with you again. :(

1) Sounds like a sweet house! Awesome!

2) Glad you and Benjamin are both OK! Good job. You will get better. My advice: HIRE MOVERS! It can be a little expensive, I guess, but it was SO worth it. I have moved myself every time except this last one, when I just did not have a vehicle for the furniture, and they were amazing. They manhandled that stuff like it was nothing and finished in 3 hours what would have taken me all day (I know, because it took us all day just to move MARK'S stuff from his apt to my old house, and this was more!). If you can afford it, it's a much better idea than hurting your back. My other suggestion... make a FB event and invite your friends. Buy em beer and pizza. My friend Roo did that and got all her stuff moved in one day. Good luck!

No need to hire movers, we have my little brother, Victor and Tim's best friend. All three are strapping young men who can lift and carry all of our belongings. I intend to only pack and unpack. I have to do this myself, last time we moved and I let Tim help, he threw everything in sight into trash bags. It was horrible.

Cool beans on the move. I love moving. I haven't moved enough lately... and in fact, I dreamed about packing last night. How nerdy is that?

As for the fall... way to be a super mom! And I am sorry you are hurting, of course.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only person who loves to move! It is so nice to start fresh in a new place. You get a chance to re-organize everything you own and begin again. I even love the packing part because you get to go through all of your crap and do a BIG clean out of stuff that you don't need anymore. I love decorating a new home - hanging pictures and arranging the furniture and stuff.

Man, it really is comforting to know that I am not alone in this!

Thanks for the super-mom and the consolation. I'll be okay. The only thing I could think about falling down the stairs is the fact that Tim could live without a wife and Ben could live without a mom, but there is no way in the world I could live without my son!
