Blog Break

Taking a little blogging break amidst the packing.  We're down to the odds and ends box in each room.  I really dislike opening those boxes on the other end because it all the stuff you think you may still want/need but don't know where it all belongs.  But I'm happy we're at that point in the packing.  I just have to say, for the record and posterity's sake ... in the future when I tell my kids "I moved us 8 times on my own," it's not true.  Yes, I've done the lion's share, BUT DH has been a huge picker upper of the broken pieces in the home at the end of the day.  And he called today and bravely told the secretary he couldn't come in because his family needed his help.  I love that guy.  And my mom?  My personal angel of mercy.  She was here yesterday in my sweltering kitchen packing for 6 hours straight.  Love, love, love her.  She's helped moved us 8 times now.  And I owe her big time.  When the time comes to move you mom out of your ginormous house, I'm there body and soul!  And a huge thanks to dad for taking the wee wiggly one out yesterday, and my friends, who have truly stepped up to help out in a big way!  

Kay, I'll be back later for another post ...

A break? You don't mean you're taking a break, you mean you haven't been as vigilant as posting, right? Although our conversations are typically daily (I'll excuse you during your moving adventure), I rely on blog updates from Julia. Yes, it's true. I am an addict to your blog. Good luck moving. It is rotten, but bless Mom. She is an AWESOME packer. I usually delegate her to kitchen because I know nothing will come out broken on the other end.

Don't leave Julia!!! I'm getting sad! I'm going to plan my first trip to Idaho before you leave, to make it a little easier for me.
