Day 165: Moving Day

 

Today is the moving day. I'm hoping to get it all done in 2 or 3 loads... seeing as we only have a small trailer like this. I've already moved a shit ton of our stuff over (via my own car).

I was hoping to get it done hassle free, but when there are so many people helping there are bound to be some tough moments. At least we got it done. Now the scary part is trying to get it all into the house.

I at least got mine and Mum's bedrooms set up, and half the lounge room. It's a start... I wonder how long it's going to take me to get the rest of the house organised.

Day 164: Hurricane's Birthday Party

 

Busy day today. Hurricane is having a party even though her birthday is actually Wednesday. So while everyone is at the party. I'm going to be whipper snipping more of my yard and packing up my car ready to take over this morning and then come back and repack it ready to go in the morning.

I'm tired of all the mess everywhere. I just want it all to be done and everything back to normal.

I feel like there is so much to get done and no time to do it all in. The help I thought I was getting was very far and few between. I don't recommend moving when you have to do everything yourself.

Day 163: Running Out Of Time

 

Today we moved all the stuff out of the room mum will be using at the new house and put it all into the lounge room. I also took over another load.

I whipper snipped some more of the yard. I wish the snipper was a bit stronger as it would make the work so much easier and faster.

I also had Monsoon and Hurricane in the afternoon while Graceful was at dance. Hard to get anything done with the kids around. I'm tired all the time. I'm running out of energy and time to get everything done.

Day 162: Getting It Done

 

Getting as much of the whipper snipping done as I can. I don't want to have to pay for someone to come in and do it. I can tell you my upper arms and my armpits are as sore as hell from all the packing, cleaning, and yard work that I've been doing. It will all be worth it in the end.

In between doing everything I have been reading Patricia Briggs (Mercy Thompson) of a night to unwind.

Day 161: Took A Gutsa

Today while whipper snipping the driveway; I stepped into a pothole the wrong way and tumbled head over heels. The whipper snipper went flying and nearly landed in the neighbour's yard. I ended up falling on my left knee, left shoulder, and smashed the left side of my face into the drive. I even managed to warp my glasses in the process. Not a good day. instead of resting, I had to pick myself up and dust myself off and keep on whipper snipping. even though I'm aching all over.

Day 160: Cats

 

Why is it when you are so busy trying to get stuff done the pets (in my case - cats) decide it would be the best time to act out. my youngest cat has decided now would be a good time to catch mice and bring them inside. The cats are smart, they know we're moving and are freaking out a little bit (I assume).

Also, we have some kind of wild animals digging up holes all over our lawn... pains in the arse... and seeing as I haven't actually seen what they are I don't know how to stop them.

Even worse, I have an ear infection. So I'm not feeling 100% today. It's not the best time for me to be sick.

Day 159: Windy

 

I work up all ready to get to work in the yard, but it was too windy to do anything. So, I had the day off, because I needed the damn rest. I'm not feeling well today. Though, I did have to take the girls down to their swimming lessons. Just to top off an already awful day. I couldn't get a car park; so I had to park right at the back of the lot and wrangle Monsoon and Hurricane on the walk from the car to the swimming centre. The problem wasn't the wrangling. It was that I can't move as fast as a 3 and a 4-year-old. feeling poorly and I had to chase the two of them all the way to into the building.
