Hanging Out in TLF

Well, we are all packed up and living in temp lodging now. 2 more days and we're outta here. The first 2 days in TLF were horrible, though. Our A/C unit was out and it was in the high 90's both days. Sleeping was even worse. They finally got it fixed yesterday afternoon and we think that it froze up for a bit last night, too. So hopefully it keeps running until we're gone. LOL! 

Took the kids to see Monsters Vs. Aliens today. It was really cute. We had some dip shit next to us, though. The kid pulls out a Nintendo DS after the movie starts and starts to play it! And the mom/grandma (couldn't tell in the dark, but she looked older) doesn't even do anything! About half way through the movie I had to lean over and say something because the little shit had turned on the sound! I couldn't believe that the adult just sat there and let him do something like that. 

Not a lot else going on, just living the hotel life. LOL! Cooking up some dinner the best I can in these little kitchenette things they've got. I already can't wait to have my own kitchen back so I can cook good meals. LOL! I was sooo craving a home cooked meal the other night and there wasn't anywhere to go. What I'd give for a Cracker Barrel right now. LOL! 

Packing Up Tomorrow

Well, we're pretty much ready to get all packed up tomorrow. Seems like we'd never get everything sorted, cleaned, packed, separated and so forth. Man! So hopefully everything that we're going to want with us is set aside where it should be and vice versa. 

We decided to go ahead and have cleaners clean the house instead of doing it ourselves. That's just one less thing we've got to worry about. 

The movers called and said they'd be here at 8 in the morning, so we shall see. We've heard that before only to have them show up 2 hours later. I still say they could get it all done in one day if they sent enough workers, but instead they're being a pain and packing one day and loading the next. Argh! So tomorrow night we get to hang out with a bunch of boxes. LOL! Hopefully they'll be nice and leave the TV connected and they're supposed to leave the beds unpacked since they're taking 2 days. 

I'll be glad when Wednesday is over. Even though the cleaners are coming Thursday, we're going to steam clean the carpet Wednesday after the movers leave. So when Wednesday is over I can finally relax. At least this time there's no flying for hours on end. LOL! The 2 day drive (which could in reality be fit into one day) will be a breeze compared to 9-10 hour flights and layovers. 

Crunch Time

Well, it's crunch time for us. The movers come on Tuesday. So that gives us 2 days to finish up what needs to be done around the house. I've got to pack our clothes and set aside the other stuff we're taking like books, the kid's scooters and some other odds and ends. I've still got to sort through my dishes as well. I am taking a skillet with me for sure and then maybe a couple of other things that are usually of crappy quality in the temporary lodging. LOL! And then I've got 2 cupboards to clean out and the spice cupboard to clean out as well. But those won't take long. Most of the stuff in the snack and breakfast cupboard is opened already, and I have a feeling most of it has gone stale, especially the stuff that gets shoved to the back of the cupboard. LOL! I've also got MORE laundry to do....AGAIN. LOL! I'd like to have as little as possible with us when we move into TLF. I'll be glad when this is over. Packing up is way worse than unpacking. LOL! You are always amazed at how much crap you manage to collect over time.
