Not enough room!

So, we're moving to California. I've been packing for 2 weeks straight. I told myself I was only going to take the necessities. So of course the beds, 1 set of couches, clothes, some toys, all my kitchen stuff, and misc. household items that was needed to function in our new home were packed. I sold 2 sets of couches, piano, dining room table, freezer, 2 dressers, crib, toys, 2 coffee tables, outside toys, t.v., pack in play, and grill. Not including all the stuff I gave away, threw away in the trash, and took to the dump. We rented a 24 ft. truck to take all our stuff down. And when I looked at it, I had to reservations that it would not fit all of our stuff. Considering all that was sold, thrown and given away. Boy, was I wrong! Sad to say there was not enough room. It almost makes me sick to think of all the crap( and yes, most of it is crap) that we have accumulated. So lessons learned from moving, 1. NEVER will I EVER buy a big house again!
2. Don't give yourself 2 weeks to pack a 3250 sq ft. home by yourself! And 3. I NEVER want to move again!!!! Unless a moving company does it for me.

Not a good day.

Yesterday was not a good day! I woke up not wanting to pack. By body was sore, and just plain tired of trying to be supermom. Sophie went in to have her oral surgery(she couldn't eat anything all day, because her appointment was at 2:30p.m. Whoever scheduled that one is a totally idiot! I'm talking about the receptionist), Kaden came home from school complaining of stomach pain, Emily had a fever so high she was shivering. Found out she had an ear infection too. Brianna also has something wrong with her ear, and called twice from school to come home. All this time I was trying to pack, clean, paint, and take care of Ryann. Yes, I agreed to watch my ex-daycare child. Yesterday was not a GOOD day!

I have the Best Friends EVER!

Wow, was I surprised when I thought I was going on a little errand with Spencer, to find all my really good friends waiting to surprise me at one of my favorite restaurants. One last dinner with the girls. I had so much fun talking, laughing and hanging out with everyone! I knew moving to California was going to be hard, but tonight made me realize how much I'm reallly going to miss my friends. I am so grateful to have made such wonderful relationships, with such unbelievable group of extraodinary women. I have truly been blessed to have called you friends. Thanks for everything! I will miss you, Mary, Melanie, Christine, Jana, Heather, Saimi, Destiny, Debbie, and Judy! I will always remember Girls Night Out, and how much fun we had. I will miss you all terribly. I love you guys!
