Moving In

I will be working my way backwards in my story telling about moving. We have had quite the adventure so far. Our furniture (and computer) finally arrived today. I am so excited after being without it since Feb. 1st. It was very hard to watch our stuff (our whole lives) loaded up into a truck and see it drive away. It was like Christmas for the kids to get their toys back. Danny barely came out of his room today playing with all the toys. I am excited to sleep on something other than a stinking air mattress. On the day we closed on this house my husband fell down the stairs (this house is a tri-level) and sprained his ankle really badly. He is supposed to stay off of it and keep it elevated. He has not been able to work or drive. When he fell I had to call 911 because we could not get him back up the stairs to take him to the hospital and we thought he might pass out because he sure looked like he was about too. We had the sherriff , fire department and ambulance here our first day here. I am sure we are the gossip of the neighborhood already. I was concerned about knowing where the emergency room was because of how rough little Danny plays. Well I now know exactly how to get there. I will write more tommorrow. There are plenty of stories to tell.

Moving

Well the movers are coming today (since it is after midnight). I have very mixed emotions, it is my last night in our house. It is the only home my children have ever known. Our new home is going to be incredible but it is also sad to leave this one behind.

The kids and I are taking a mini vacation before we leave for Illinois. We are spending a few days down at Disneyland and CA Adventure for our last local trip. I have booked a Lilo and Stitch Character breakfast and lunch at Ariel's Grotto with the princesses. We usually don't spend the night in a hotel since we live so close but we are splurging and staying in a Kids Suite at a nearby hotel. I haven't told the kids yet. I am saving it as a big surprise. I hope it will take a little of the sting out of leaving their friends and family.
I am not sure what will take the sting out for me. The closer it comes the more emotional I am feeling about leaving my family and friends behind.
