T-6 days and closer to Minnesota

We're getting closer!! T-6 days until the big move. I have to admit that I am overly tired, can't remember my name or phone number and really need this to just be over! This weekend was jammed packed with moving. We spent all of Saturday at the new house. Billy finished painting the living room and priming the fourth bedroom while I unpacked the kitchen and put everything away as well as cleaning the floors. Today Billy painted the fourth bedroom and laying the carpet while I cleaned the carpet in the living room, scrubbed the kitchen floor, and painted trim in the bedrooms. I'm beat.

We have a lot let to do in the old house. I am supposed to be finishing up Addie's room. Billy is going to bring a load over to the house in the morning before work so I want to get a bunch of stuff ready for him. It's nice that he heads up that way every day for work. Hopefully it will make Saturday and Sunday move a little faster.

My goal is that when Mom and Dad get here on Saturday all we'll have left to move are the large items like beds, entertainment centers and couches. We should have Addie and Evie rooms set up before Saturday so that will help a lot too. It's pretty overwhelming moving into such a small house. I'm still trying to figure out where everything is going to go but I know we'll get all settled in and it'll be fine.

Our landlord here is going to be checking the house on July 1st which is sort of helpful since we should be moved out by the 28th and I'll have a couple days to make sure this house is completely clean. When we moved in this house was barely clean. We ended up doing A LOT of cleaning before we could put our stuff away. It was so frustrating so I am going to make sure it is in tip-top shape. Also, I want to make sure that he doesn't try to say we owe him anything for damages. We are definitely leaving the house in better shape then we found it!

So, all in all, I have 6 days to finish up cleaning and moving. Whew! Hopefully tomorrow when I go to the OB I don't find out that I need to go on bed rest. I'll be honest, I've done a little more then I probably should, but in my defense, I took a lot of breaks and anytime I felt like I was doing to much I'd find something easier to do.

T-6 days! I'm anxious to get out of Mason Shitty. On to Northwood, still Iowa but at least a little closer to the great state of Minnesota!
