I've been up since early this Saturday morning...much earlier than I prefer! Andrew and the boys had to be on the road to our former hometown at 7:15 this morning, so a very early wake up call in our lives. We are kind of getting used to it though.
We had some added stress placed on us this week. At 4:00 yesterday we learned that the storage units we had been using have been sold and we need to have it emptied pronto. My mom also has two units, so that is four units all together. While the short notice is extremely inconvenient, I can't complain terribly much because this involves where my Dad worked so we've never had to pay storage fees. Unfortunately, this has to be done Monday-Friday, and Andrew and Thomas leave for scout camp Sunday. They will be coming home Tuesday night so that we can get this done Wednesday. Because there are four storage units, we've rented a uhaul, and are just hoping and praying that we can somehow make everything fit here in our garages because Mom just can't deal with it right now. It is definitely added stress (and expense) that we don't need right now, but again, I really can't complain about it.
I can see that summer is going to draw to a rapid close. There aren't too many empty squares on our calendar in the next five weeks. We've learned that Andrew's parents are coming for a few weeks in August, and I'm selfishly hoping that they might allow us a night away and have them keep the kids. I guess we'll see. Not really sure we should be spending money on that, but at the same time relaxing is a must!
