Where does the time go???

The days lately seem to vanish too quickly. I cannot believe how time can fly. So where has our time gone... Primary offender - We moved! Yes we did it... like a month ago! It still feels like we have a long way to go and there are never enough hours in the day.

There was lots of moving fun to be had. It took many a nights of packing - the last several of those days before the move were near all nighters! Then there was the move. I thought one day would be plenty of time! Ha - we clearly have too much stuff! It took us a full two days and even then I could have used about 20 more! But on night number 2, it was time to call it a day and get a little sleep. We decided to all stop everything, shower and just relax. Well who were we kidding? And here begins move mishap #1! Madi showered and we realized the water wasn't draining properly... That's weird it was fine the day before... Drew showered... huh - water isn't draining at all. Well - a shower was absolutely necessary for us adults so we figured hit the essentials and call the superintendent in the morning. That was until the gurgle happened... Toilets stopped working, started to bubble as well as the shower and bathtub which quickly began to spew stuff upward. So much for relaxing... wet vacing and phone calls to the plumber instead. Apparently the test balloon has been forgotten and not removed! All was well the next day though. The next week, the fridge was to be delivered. I was very ready to have a fridge back in the house again and not just the garage. Fridge gets delivered on Friday - Marty struggles to get it into the house. Due to some poorly written, misleading instructions, much frustration ensues with removing the doors and replacing them. Once we are finally done, excitement fits and eagerness takes over. I decide there was nothing wrong with our old water line and there wasn't really time to go get a new one so we decide to just use it to save us a trip and some time. There's where move mishap #2 happens. A day and a half later, Marty noticed water leaking into the garage. We were on our way to t-ball opening ceremonies so we had no time to look. So out the door we went and called the plumber. Well the plumber came after we figured out it was the refrigerator. To make sure it wasn't the water line in wall, we had the plumber check anyhow. Well sure enough it was the old water line... we had to cut into drywall to dry out the area, pull up carpeting and replace carpet pad in the storage closet, then replace drywall, texture, paint and replace baseboard. All within a week and a half. Agh!!!! Not the added work we desired or a project we wanted to undertake. Everything seems to be back in place now and we are moving forward! Now to get stuff on the walls!
