Moving Week - Take 2

So here we are again, another Sunday night, another declaration that this will indeed be moving week!

For supper tonight we had Asian Beef Kabobs from Dream Dinners, rice and carrots - If you have the recipe for the Asian beef kabobs (marinade of hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic and a bunch of other stuff please, I beg you, share it with us - Miss Pear actually ate beef and asked for more, again and again and again! A miracle!

We took a cooler load of fridge and freezer stuff over to a friend who has an extra fridge in their garage this afternoon. She is actually going to deliver it to us next weekend! We are thrilled!

We organized stuff and had great intentions of doing lots of preparations, but we were tired. This big girl bed transition is not going as hoped. Miss Pear was up for two and a half hours off and on during the night (we put her back to bed, crawled into bed, just dozed off, and she was up again). Sigh. Her favorite words to greet me with at these times are either, "Mommy, I need you!" or "Mommy, I missed you." How am I supposed to resist all that cuteness!

So, getting back on track, our plan for the week. God willing of course!

Monday - herd open me first stuff to central locations, herd all Miss Pear's books and toys to her room, pray like crazy. And get times from movers.

Tuesday - Movers arrive to pack us up. Miss Pear and I go to friends house to play for some period of this organized chaos. Out for supper, and probably lunch too. Pray lots.

Wednesday - the BIG DAY! A big truck pulls up to our little town home and all our stuff gets packed into it. I anticipate Miss Pear standing on the front deck endlessly fascinated! And we move. The movers have promised that Miss Pear's room will be last on the truck and first off. We have excellent movers! Again, I anticipate out for lunch and supper (or ordering in pizza). Try to remember to not freak out, and pray instead.

Thursday - reality of our new home. Theoretically our cable will be hooked up this day. I unpack like a crazy woman and continue to pray like crazy.

Friday - I have to report to the DMV for my license renewal. They say that they want me to take a vision test (clearly they have not talked to my optometrist who will tell them that my eye site is annoyingly perfect). The truth of the matter is that when I got my driver's license I did not have a social security number because they refused to give me one because I did not have a driver's license, so I think the DMV would like to have that little tidbit of information. Remind me to tell you the saga of my social security number one day - it is kind of like Abbot and Costello.

So it is moving week.

I will be posting a special something on Monday (about 14 posts long) that I worked on for you - actually I just worked on getting it into blogger for you, I already had it in a Word document.

Then I anticipate a bloggy break until next week.
