I really am still alive. So, here is a recap of the stuff I'm been doing to keep me off blogging.
#1- we drove up to Dallas for 2 days. Left early Saturday morning and returned late Sunday. We had a great visit with Scott's family, his sister lives there, and his parents and brother met us there. We stayed at the Residence Inn, and the kids had a blast, in the hotel and with their cousins. Plus, it was nice not to work around the house for a few days.
#2- painting painting and more painting. Finally, the painting is over, done, completed. Only to be followed up by new carpet on the 2nd of Jan. Great fun. I'm telling you, I LOVE moving...can you hear the sarcasm.
#3-organizing. What sucks (yes sucks) is I feel like I 'm going to have to move 2x. Let me explain. There are 6 people living in this house, and we have lived here for 10 years...we have lots of stuff/crap. So, we have been busy busy busy de-cluttering, and organizing. Not everything is even close to being done either. AUGGGGGHHHH. We have almost filled up the storage unit with "stuff". Toys, books, pictures you name it, it's there. Why couldn't the movers have come this week, and then again when we are going to actually move???
#4- fixing this joint up and cleaning. I have cleaned my little fingers to the nubs. And I look around and this place still needs so much work. But dang it, this place has never looked better. I told Scott, every few years we are going to go through the new house like we are moving. You know replacing/fixing things that need it.
#5-we are having a party tonight! But first I need (aka would like, but probably won't happen) to go take a nap, I was up early this morning to take down the Christmas tree. Darn insomnia!

As I was cleaning our old house I was wondering why it was never so clean when we lived there. Sheesh once it was so sparkly I felt like moving everything back in. Good luck with everything. It is such a pain isn't it?
I'm with you. Kevin and I always wonder why we can keep the house so sparkly clean when we are trying to sell it but as soon as the fear of showing it to strangers wears off, we are back to our normal ways. Good luck on moving. The actual moving is no fun but getting to the new house will be great!
you are so right. we've been cleaning like crazy and it's just SO nice. but it won't last long. when is the actual move?
i know you've been busy. i'm sorry you now have nubs for hands. that's gotta hurt a tad. that picture of missy girl is adorable!! :)
