I have so many posts floating through my head (like actually posting a picture of Timmy's christening), but right now the only picture that I feel like posting is one with boxes stacked on top of each others, topped with paperwork, with two cute boys standing on the very tippy top. That's my life right now.
We decided to move all by ourselves. Well, actually, my father-in-law convinced Chris that it was really very easy and so now I'm packing boxes. (Confession: I've been slightly grumpy about having to pack the entire house myself. Then I realized that, in the deal I made with Chris, I don't actually have to move any of the boxes, just watch kids. SWEET!)
But life doesn't stop for two weeks while we are moving. If anything God has decided that things need to speed up. In some ways this is nice. I can't spend too much time freaking out about packing any box or item a certain way because there just isn't time. But, on the other hand, I'm increasingly nervous that something is going to fall during this juggling act.
I've got to get everything packed (but not pack anything that I need), stay on top of moving the internet, phone, and cable (which has been a soap opera all by itself), David starts preschool in about two weeks and there's a mountain of paperwork (and probably two doctor's visits) to do for him to go with his allergies, some time soon I need to schedule an in-office food challenge for him for wheat, Timmy has weekly PT and OT, and and David's weekly gymnastics, for some reason I decided this is the perfect time to transition Timmy to a sippy cup (which he hates with a firey and undying passion), there's the basics like laundry, three meals a day (and three different meals to prepare at every meal time), keeping everyone clean and happy, oh, and I volunteered for a position on the basewide spouses club board and the kick-off spouses social is this Thursday and if I'm going to do a certain fundraiser I have to get the paperwork done rightnow. There's a family birthday this week, I finally sent out thank yous for all of Timmy's christening gifts, now I've got to sit down with David to help him make his, I also have we've moved postcards that I want to get labeled and ready to go so I can send them out as soon as we are in the new house, and I really really really want to find time to watch some things we have taped on the DVR, otherwise they will get deleted when we move. (Wow, I feel so much better now that I got that all written down.)
So, this is it. My last post until we are semi-settled in the new house. We get keys on Friday and hope to have everything moved that day and the next. Hopefully we'll have internet quickly, otherwise it might be a while before I post. But once everything is up and functional I'm excited to have some marathon posting sessions because my computer will finally be out of Timmy's bedroom and in the living room!
Okay, time to scrounge something for lunch, get David tucked in for nap, make some phone calls, and pack some boxes.

Holy moly that's a lot! Well, if any of it can wait until I get there (obviously not packing boxes, but unpacking them, or writing thank you cards or sending out letters . . . I know that might mean they'd be late, but hey, there's only so many hours in a day!) then save it for then and I can do it with you! I'll be thinking you good thoughts!!!!
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming(: = most useful Disney quote ever!!
