Week 5

So I forgot to hit publish…

WE HAVE MOVED!!!

Yes, it’s complete. Every last box is now at the new house. It was a mad rush Friday/Saturday/Subday to finish it all,but we did it. And we managed to only forget a couple of things that can be replaced, like our clock and trashcan. We turned over the keys to the old house early Sunday afternoon.

So, what of the new house? What have we got done? Organizing chaos is the best answer. I’m still terrified that someone will just pop in to say hi & the house will be an utter disaster like it is now. But we are making progress everyday. For example, yesterday I found a solution for my closet & then hung up all my clothes only to discover they were too heavy for my solution. So the husband & I talked it out & came up with another solution, that we’ll try tonight. We also got the tv/entertainment area set up, the microwave set up & figured out where most of our stuff is going to go in the kitchen. Now, we just need to line the drawers & we can finish unpacking the kitchen.

We have a whole list of little things that need to be done & now instead of going to each new week with goals to complete we are just trying to get everything marked off the list.

ToDo:

    Line kitchen drawers with contact paper

    Line linen closet with contact paper (bare wood & fluffy towels don’t mix)

   Clean Stove (the weather has been nice so we’ve been enjoying some barbecue)

   Clean second shower

   Return all painting tools to dad

   Return all various other tools to dad

   Decide officially on the office/guest room/theater room situation

   Create wreath

    Unpack, unpack and unpack
