Our weekends are jam packed right now, but I know things will settle. Last week I spent every day at our old house (that's probably a post in itself) so after Catherine got off the bus we were off to the grocery. Two rather unpleasant hours later (thanks to unhelpful staff at particular grocery) we made it home. Andrew had to work at the football game, and the kids understood I was beyond exhausted so everyone was happy with cereal or whatever they could find for dinner. Honestly, they were actually thrilled with it that way, and it made me glad we had picked up a couple of treats that I don't normally purchase. Anyway, Thomas and Andrew were going camping with scouts bright and early Saturday so we (let's be serious, mostly "I') got things together and ready to go. First thing Saturday I dropped Robert off at school to catch the cross country bus and when I returned the others were off to scouts. It's only 8AM on Saturday folks!
Catherine and I pack clothes and coolers because the cross country meet is near our old house and we are planning to spend the day working there after the meet. We ended up spending several hours at the cross country meet (another post as well!) and finally made it to the house around lunch. I chowed down on some food and got to work! We had taken a small TV and DVD player and Robert and Catherine were able to entertain themselves with electronics for the afternoon...and they loved it of course! After MANY hours of painting we headed back to our new house and after a much needed shower I settled in to watch the Notre Dame game. Didn't go as I had hoped, but it was a nice way to spend the evening.
Yesterday I was able to sleep in for a bit...so grateful! I spent the day unpacking and organizing some more. It just feels some days like I'm getting no where...just moving things from box to box. My in-laws arrive on Friday though, so I better get my act together. I'm staying away from the old house just for today so I can have another full day working here.
Time to get Thomas up for school...here we go again!
