unpacking and packing



Well, we've pretty much gotten unpacked except for hanging up pictures and stuff on the walls. it was kinda tough, the first couple of days here, leia would not let us put her down at all (she still had the lingering effects of her cold), she didn't feel well, so we gave her a new nickname...kangaroo baby, because she was pretty much attached to me like a baby kangaroo until yesterday. just to let you know, it's really hard to unpack a whole house worth of stuff with one hand! oh, and when we did put her down, she SCREAMED. you know, the kind where you can't think! derek was trying to do some simple math when he was hanging an extra rack in the girls cloest & he was trying to divide 9 by 54, and he had to whip out the cell phone calculator...and he's a REALLY smart guy. it was just the constant screaming that was making our brains mush. so, she's back to her usual self. mabye she also just needed to adjust to the new house.
anyways, as far as the packing part, we're leaving for a cruise sunday. we're going with my dad, my sister and her daughter (almost 4 years old). they're flying in from san antonio saturday. after unpacking, packing is the last thing on my mind & i probably won't actually start until saturday night, i'm a last-minute packer. it takes me a few day ahead of time of writing things down so i don't forget anything. but, anyways, we are SO ready for a vacation. moving SUCKS (sorry mom, i know you don't like that word), but when the movers under quote you by A LOT and you end up paying almost 3 times more than they quoted on the phone, you don't want to move again for a long time. we plan on staying in this house for a long time, and so far we like it here. there's nothing like having a garage, backyard, a 3rd room and a JUNK DRAWER (for the first time)...i know, i'm easily amused!
