Checklist: Item 23

#23 Pack kitchen



I'm working on it. I'm slowing down. I'm ready to be done. I'm starting to actually think we're not gonna make the deadline.

We met with our realtors on Friday evening. We got our list of to-do before we put it on the market, which will be mid-next week. The problem is that several of these to-do items are pretty time consuming, and even though I'm usually good for a challenge, I'm thinking this one might be out of reach. They also recommended that we move everything on Saturday, not just the "most" I was planning on. I was figuring to stay here for a while with some of our furniture to stage with, but they provide their own staging furniture, so they said to just do it all in one trip. That means we need to get Braska's therapies transferred to the new system in StC so we don't have too big a gap in services. It also means that we need to find people to care for the pool, which we need to get open and ready to impress this week, and also the lawn. It also means that we've changed our apartment to have a bit more space since all three of us will be there for more of the time.

#24 Get master bath flooring put down.

#25 Paint over non-neutral (deep purple) walls in the house.

#26 Open the pool

#27 Contact siding company regarding defective siding to request it be replaced. (Not looking forward to this one at all.)

Anyway, I must get back to work. We'll get it done somehow. I'm just having a moment. Maybe next year I'll get a "real" Mother's Day when I can relax and be taken care of for a change. Here's hoping... I'm 0-3 so far, but I can still dream. :o)

Hope you all had a great one...enjoy it some for me too!

  1. Hang in there! Wish I could help, I love helping people pack. Is that a sickness? Probably.

  2. RK- Seriously, call me if you need help. Mom and I would be more than happy to assist where needed :) Let me know if you need our numbers.

  3. Ugh! That photo brings back to many memories. We've moved 8 times in our 15 years of marriage and most of that was done in the first 10 years. I got pretty good at it, though. Good luck.

  4. I think I can, I think I can...

    You are being a GREAT mother on mother's day (and always) as usual. Maybe you can have a belated mother's day THIS year. You surely deserve it!!!

    I wish I could come help! I know how hard it is.

  6. I know it just adds stress for me to say "don't stress" but really I wish I could take that away for you, cause everything will work out the way it should...

    when we moved to this house, the weekend we were to clear out of the old house every male member of my family became sick - too sick to help. I kicked Steven out and called our church family and we got it done...so I guess the moral of that story is call for help when you need it - cause they are waiting to help!

  7. Jessie---It will come together. And our friends are really helping. I hope no one gets sick though...that might throw me over the edge!

  8. Try Midwest Scuba Center for the pool thing. I think he does pool maintenance too.

  9. I had a good mother's day with all my kids calling and 4 of the 6 home for awhile. I got a nice blender, some flowers, a shirt, some towels and the ever-appreciated Walmart card. I thought about all these wonderful gifts while I was washing all the dishes (after having prepared dinner,) and the rest of the family were watching TV.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
