Tired, and sans kids

The girls stayed in Carthage when we came home yesterday.  It seemed weird for them not to be here.  We were pretty busy, so it wasn't horrible, but it was weird.

Today, Brett left for his dad's.  He'll stay there all summer.  Now things are REAL weird.  Just me and Kevin.  How do you handle that?  Get busy working  your ass off, in preparation for moving.  Tonight, we tackled the girls' room.

First, we cleaned the living room, and moved everything against the wall, ready to load.  No need to have the living room set up, when we don't spend any time in there.  Then, we started carrying stuff down from the girls room.

Kevin disassembled the bunk beds, I packed boxes.  It all went down until the room was empty.  Then we vacuumed and scrubbed down the walls.  Finally, we hung a mini blind, to replace the one with the broken slat.  That room is done, except for cleaning the carpets.

Brett said he'd come home Thursday or Friday to pack up his room.  Thursday, we'll probably pack up our room, which will mean an end to internet until service is established in the new house.  In the mean time, we'll pack up the downstairs bathroom, linen closet, and most of the kitchen.

Dang, moving is hard work.  It also makes for boring journal entries.  Sorry 'bout that.  I am tired and ready for bed, but felt the need to document my hard work.  You suffer for it.  LOL.  I'm excited, and happy, and lonely, and tired.  So many emotions at once.  I bet I sleep good tonight!
