The Move

It's underway, The Move. Mike leaves early am on July 2nd. Friend in town to relax and help out with the little guy, she departs on July 8th. Moving company takes the truck July 2nd. Movers pack entire house on July 14th, take everything on July 15th. Inspector arrives July 17th. I sort last of boxes of papers, bins of material, etc. to prep for the 14th, between the 10th and the 13th. Paint, wash windows, vents, vacuum, steam clean, load of rocks for top layer of back yard, arrange for changes of address, last of the kindergarten dr. appts. and dental exam, get the dog shots up dated, guinea pigs visit the vet to clip nails and check them out, clean out the pantry of all things that can't be moved by movers, put all jewelry and jewelry box items in baggies for me to take, go thru all medications in house to toss old ones, and take the good ones in the van (movers won't take, they won't take guns or ammo, either), separate out all aerosol and other "dangerous" fluids that movers won't take, hem a wedding dress for a friend, finish up potholders for another friend, and gather all important documents from local doctor or clinic offices for the little guy, finish farming out the stuff we're not taking, or arrange for pickups on Freecycle.org (what a GREAT way to pass on stuff that still has value).

And, go to the children's museum, dollar movies, free movies on Tuesdays, go the to community pool where Chris has learned to SWIM!!! (yay!!), play date on Wednesdays, call friends for a going away bbq the weekend in July when Mike returns for a few days.

And, celebrating Mom on July 9th.

It's all good! We like to call the next two months an Adventure!
