We finally got a closing date on the sale of the house. It is Wednesday October 12th. I have been packing like crazy! I still have a LONG way to go. We are going to rent back our house for one week to get the inside painted, cleaned & fix one interior door. We will be shampooing carpet, touching up knicks in the paint on the walls, repainting two rooms (at the new owners request) & weed our backyard once more before we turn the keys over.

This weekend my husband is installing the AC in our new place. Next weekend my best friend & her husband are helping us move. We will have all of boxes in the U-Haul already. My friends DH will help mine with the big stuff. You know, the couch, recliner & the king size mattress. My lower back just hasn't been the same since the birth of DD #2 this Spring. I am hoping that stregthening my abs will help with the back problems.

The dishes are packed, with the exception of few items we use for cooking. We are eating & drinking on paper dishes & plastic utensils & cups. It makes doing the dishes easy! I'll be packing most of the clothes today. I'm leaving 2 weeks worth out because when we get to our new place we have to buy a new washer & dryer. Since we are ordering them I'll be headed to the laundry mat for a couple of weeks.

Monday I have a Dr appointment for Charlotte. She is getting shots & Elizabeth REALLY doesn't like to hear her baby sister cry & scream when she gets them. I did tell her that Charlotte is going to cry & scream because it hurts to get shots. I asked her to help me out by being quiet. I am NOT looking forward to dealing with that on Monday.

On Tuesday I have to drive to Casa Grande (54 miles one direction) to do the walk through on the new place. The walk through is no big deal...it's the drive with an infant that seems to HATE riding in the car that I am dreading. When DH drives I can turn around & give her a bottle, but with just me...I think I'll go deaf. I have two choices, either drive with an infant screaming at the top of her lungs OR stop every 15 to 20 minutes to get out, console her, feed her, change her or all of the above & the drive will take TWO hours instead of just one. What fun!

I am thankful that we HAVE a houses to move out of & into. I am thankful that we have both of our girls. I'm just not looking forward to the actual move & everything that goes along with it.

I need to go feed my screamer now.
