Hi all,

I am pooped. I have cleaned the new house all week. Then I lined  all of the shelves in the bathrooms and kitchen. This is an old home so everything needed to be cleaned REALLY well and drawers needed to be lined. It was gross.

Now I know it is clean and I moved in some bathroom stuff today. We moved the family room over and all knicknacks. All of the kids closets, linen closet and toy bins from their rooms.

This week I am going to bring over the kitchen stuff. I also am going to try and bring over all of the drawers from the dressers, everything but heavy furniture. We need to be totally out on the 30th. So I need to get this house cleaned while moving out of it. It has been exhausting for me.

I am really thankful for a wonderful friend that has helped so much. She loaded up her car and helped make trips with me. She cleaned my really funky new bathroom and now we can all use it and know it is clean. She has totally blessed me and just made me feel like it can all get done.

Tomorrow, my honey is going to move over the rest of the garage, I hope. I am going to pack for us a week of clothes and just move over everything else. I am hoping that all goes well this week with no snags and we don't all get snippy with each other.

The kids acted like lunatics all week. We have had no order and the house is a mess, so they have acted nuts. I am not sure what to do to reign them in since everything is upsidedown.  I am looking forward to getting everything put back together and back to our school schedule. I need it as much as they do.

One fun thing from today my 9 yr old got to ride the riding mower and help mow the grass today. I think around 3 acreas to mow, the rest is all wooded. They are already making trails. I can't wait till fall when we can really make some good ones.

What fun to have 15 of your own acreas to do nature trails on.

Well, I am off to put my babies in bed and then take a shower. I think I will read a little and then fall asleep, or pass out, myself.

Blessings,

Andrea
