Move Along, Move Along Just to Make it Through

The past couple days have flown by. Sorry to leave ya hanging if you happened to check this little page and expected to see some "news". Jon & I traveled to les montagnes on Wednesday (ugh, traffic). Thursday morning started Thanksgiving-y enough, but Jon's day quickly went sour. The croup hit him around 11:30 and stuck with him until, well, about now. Unfortunately, he wasn't even able to make it to the Thanksgiving Day lunch table. He shivered and sweated through a few hours and finally had turkey and apple pie around 3:00-ish. Meanwhile (feeling a little scummy while Jon suffered), the rest of us had a great Thanksgiving Day lunch of turkey, ham, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, peas, corn, rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin roll, pecan pie, and apple pie. At this point, after yesterday's lunch, yesterday's dinner, and today's miscellaneous meals, the leftovers are almost completely cleaned out!

After lunch, Dad, Haley, Mike & I jumped in and packed a load of Haley's stuff onto 'the bread truck'. Mike left to have Thanksgiving with his family, so Dad, Haley & I took the first load on up to Haley's new place. (She closed this past week on a cute townhouse about 15 minutes from Mom & Dad's.) One a penny, two a penny... two girls, a boy, and a bread truck... coming soon to a town near you.





Then, once we lost Dad to the bed, Haley, Mom & I continued working into the wee hours. (We had to sort through Haley's clothes since she's having to go from a nice big walk-in closet to one very small closet in her new place.) She got rid of a lot (too much of which is in my car to go with me back to the Boro), but her closet is still stuffed.

We jumped in again this morning, loaded another bread-truck-full (along with a couple pick-up truck loads (the Duramax & Mike's Frontier) to take along caravan-style), and took off to unload once again (leaving Jon for another less-than-fun-I'm-sure day in his sick-bed). I guess I just didn't even think about being gone ALL DAY since I left my computer & pocketPC at Mom & Dad's (I didn't check my e-mail all day!... which is sooooo RARE for me). But, it was an all-day affair. We unloaded and started setting up, then worked pretty much all day afterward. That was all the way up until dinner-time... when Mom & Dad came home to check on the dawgs & Jon and Haley, Mike & I went to dinner at Macado's. Fair? Probably not. Sorry, Jon, Mom & Dad!

looks like the fun time that a move's supposed to be. Wish I had been there to help!
