Well, today was a pretty productive day overall. I was glad that Maddy's cold turned out to be allergies, I believe. WHEW! I was thinking she was getting sick right before the move! That would not have been fun. It seems much better today though. Thank goodness.
This morning Maddy and I went to Next Day Blinds to pick up the blinds for the house. The guys looked at my car, looked at each other and said, "I don't think it's gonna fit!" I said, "No worries. I've fit bigger and more awkward things in my car than just blinds. It'll fit." They looked at me like I was nuts. Guess what?? They fit without issue. No rig-a-ma-roling at all... just slid right in like buttah! Ye of little faith! I even went to Kmart, Target and Walmart afterward and fit in the stuff I bought there, too!!! (Nothing at Kmart, what a pathetic store....) I found half of what I needed at Target and the other half at Walmart.
When we got home I loaded the truck (Matt's parents let us graciously borrow theirs for two weeks, so we can move stuff the movers won't be moving) with all the blinds and all the stuff that needed to go.
Maddy's nap was atrocious. It took three times and three different cry it outs to get her to go to sleep. And even then she only slept for 1/2 hour. Although it does seem like she went to bed better tonight. I on the other hand, am exhausted. I should not have sat down after she went to bed since I'm going to have a very hard time getting going again on the packing now that I think she could really be asleep.
Matt went over to the house tonight to check up on the painter's work and to drop off the load in the truck. He says a lot of it is painted and that it looks really nice. He's not sure about the color in the master bedroom against one our purple wall, but we can figure that out tomorrow. He says the tile looks great! I'm excited to see that a lot.
Tomorrow morning Matt needs to be at the new house early. We have our carpet coming in! We also have some siding guys coming to do a few repairs near some windows that had some drywall damage to them because of leaks. So that will get repaired tomorrow as well.
I've already started stacking things by the back door that will go with him in his trip tomorrow. We'll load the truck tonight so that way he can be out the door by 6:30 and to the house.
Ok, I should go pack. T minus 4 and counting!
Tea of the day: Earl Grey
