The Move!

So we moved and as anticipated, there was not a dull moment!  I cannot begin to describe the insanity, so I will just give you highlights of the weekend.
Thursday:
We had no power all day!  It was 95 degrees that day, a lot of fun for us.
We celebrated Landan's 4th birthday at "Club Chuckie", I mean Chuck E Cheese.  WOW!
Ethan, my five month old baby, got punched in the face by a little girl at the party.  Fun!
Friday:
Lost power, again, for about an hour.
Rushed to finish packing!
Found out Uhaul lost our reservation, so had to completely change around our plan for the whole weekend.
Saturday:
Had the women's retreat (totally distracted).
Got stuck in crazy traffic rushing home.
Lucas picked up truck, which had no parking brake.
Loads up the truck with some guys, while I take the boys to hang out at my moms for a few hours.
We "sleep" on an air mattress with no sheet and no pillows.
The boys sleep on their mattresses on the floor.
Sunday:
I go to Women's service with two babies, Lucas takes the big boys with him in the truck to his service.
We meet at the new house so I can take all four boys to my moms.
I go to old house to clean at about 2:30 pm, have to be out at 5 pm.
At 4:30 new tenants show up and I am no where near done.
Finally finish a little after 5, but it doesn't look like I want it to but I don't really care any more!

This was, by far, one of the craziest weekends of my life!  I think it took us like three days to recover.  I seriously don't ever want to move again!
I won't even go into the nonsense that is going on with our old landlord, who is refusing to give us our deposit back until we do all this extra work on HER house for her.  Or the fact that our box-spring doesn't fit upstairs, so we are sleeping on just the mattress.
I will be so happy when we can throw away the last box, when we can get the boys back on a regular schedule, when we can finally say it is all over!
