So with our up coming move and my surgery there are many things going on.  Now that we have gotten through the stupid Murano, it's time to get busy about getting rid of everything that we can't fit into a POD. The quote we got said that we'll need 2 PODS to move and so because of that we are trying to get rid of enough stuff to make it into one POD.  So that means that most of the furniture will not be going, the few furniture things I want to go is the new chairs we bought for the master entertainment center and our marble dining room table.  I guess when "The Hubby" goes to look at housing it will tell us what we're going to be able to save.

Since we're getting rid stuff we thought that we'd also get down to one car.  "The Hubby" works from home and the only time I really go anywhere is to take "N" to school, grocery shopping or to doctor appointments so why spend the money on two cars?  Plus we normally go out in the evening as a family and now we take my car (Magnum).  The Murano is worth more than my car anyway and that's why we're selling it first. 

Lately it's been difficult.  We spend a lot of time together as a family which I love but there are times when you just go stir crazy with each other.  It's pretty hot out so it's not really fun to go outside and that wears on people.  I'm really hoping that the move to Chicago will be a positive thing.  We'll be closer to family and friends, yeah the winters suck but at least we'll be near family.  My doctor at Mayo Clinic said that it's ok for me to go to Northwestern University for my checkups (upper GI exams).  I will travel to Rochester, MN when I need to for whatever they need me for.

I took a break from writing the blog so I could get started on the baby stuff and OMG it is a bigger task than I anticipated.  I have gone through something like 12 boxes/tupperware containers dividing up winter vs. summer, mine vs. "The Hubby's", Goodwill vs. Other Mothers.  After looking at most of the clothes, I had no idea how new the clothes still looked.  I think that there are more boxes but I just couldn't get to them.  So my half of the garage is full of boxes with my car parked outside.  I guess it's a small price to pay to have fewer boxes to move right?  I have a good size Dell box going of Goodwill stuff and luckily I found my skinny clothes from nine years ago.  I'm going to wash them and see if they still fit.  It sucks being this small again because I already have gotten rid of my skinny clothes and now I need to get rid of my "fat" clothes.  What's sad is that my fat clothes are sizes 6, 8, and 10.  I'm now between a 2 and a 4.

I will be taking another shower here shortly just because it was soo hot in the garage.  I'm proud of myself for starting, but I think "The Hubby's" mad because I haven't gotten anything else done and I'm sure the kids were bugging him.  I think that we may be able to keep some of the key furniture pieces though.  I mean we aren't going to move the bags of dirt we have, the pools, crib or luggage bags.  And with getting rid of all the kids stuff, we should be good.

Today is really a depressing day.  I couldn't sleep well last night, I woke up late (again), I can't focus and I always have these plans of doing all of these cool things with the kids and I end up not doing them.  I'm trying to help "The Hubby" with all the websites we own and there just isn't enough time in the day for everything.  The house and yard is neglected, the kids are stuck playing with each other most days, it's just crappy.  I just hope it pays off soon because I know I'm not the greatest mom but it would kill me to find out this was all for nothing.
