Goodnight, Sweetheart...Well, It's Time To Go

I was taking a nap with Travis today and I had a bunch of songs in my head, so you will have to excuse the song references in this post!

We have moved! Yeah, three days of little to no sleep makes one do crazy things. The boys have done some collaborating and they have a schedule where one is always awake all night long. Ok, maybe not ALWAYS, but close! We love our amazing friends who put up with us for way longer than we anticipated, and we know we are always welcome there, but we were hoping we could try to get things a little more back to normal. So, we packed up all our stuff in search of better sleep. Our church has some apartments close to the medical center that we rent to people coming to town for treatment, and one is available for the next week. We had better have power before then!

So, we packed up our: 12 plastic shopping bags, 11 children's books, 10 teething rings, 9 bath toys, 8 Thomas the Trains, 7 bags of breast milk, 6 suitcases, 5 packs of diapers, 4 pairs of shoes, 3 bottles of medicine, 2 igloo coolers, and one big boy potty seat!

Okay, so maybe not exactly that, but it's a LOT of stuff. We are still in the ranks of the homeless, but we have hope! Every other person who has power is one less person who has to get power before us. And we're so close to Randy's work that we get to have lunch with him! That will be very exciting for Travis. And Randy will have the shortest commute he has ever had!

Thanks for this post now I will be singing "5bags of diaers" all day long in my head : ) That tag team awake thing is a running theme in our house on a regular basis. Oy it makes a body tired. I am glad to hear that you will be in a place of your own, but we are praying for power to be restored soon!!!
