{ramblings} Catching Up: A List

One of the last boxes I packed….obviously over the whole packing experience!

Hello, hello!  Popping in to catch up before diving back into the craziness.  My brain is mush, so a bullet list will have to do today:

• I AM TIRED.  I’m not sure exactly what I was thinking, but moving at 37 weeks pregnant is a ridiculous idea.  I am huge, achy and largely miserable.  Thank goodness for the nesting instinct that gets me motivated to do anything.
• As if this time wasn’t stressful enough, my otherwise really healthy children have been taking turns with a lovely stomach bug.  So GROSS.  So badly timed.  
• Between the sickness and the moving, the kids have been watching crazy amounts of PBS cartoons on TV.  The worst part is that I’m just too tired to feel guilty about it. 
• The old house = stress-inducer.  We thought we found a renter, but she unfortunately fell through.  And even though I worked all summer long, the rental management company apparently has a list for us of improvements they’d like to see completed.  (Good point to know: we now live two hours away).  Exactly how I pictured spending the last few weekends before my 4th baby is born!
• The new house = craziness. Boxes to unpack and a house to organize, all while my kids run rampant.  Did I mention the disgusting dog prints we found all over the carpet (that smelled like poop!) when we walked in for the first time?  Did I also mention that we haven’t had hot water for three days?
• This post is turning into a whole lot of complaining.  Sorry about that.  Not typical for me as I’m usually a glass-half-full kinda girl.  I need some prayers!
• One more order of business – Mamma Support Swap: hopefully everyone who participated has mailed their packages by now.  If not, please get those out soon!  Oh and Megan (winner of my giveaway!), I haven’t forgotten about you!  I hope to find our new post office this week.
