it's all coming back.

ah. now i remember. it's slowly coming back to me. i remember why i had mentioned {in the past} that i enjoyed packing. you know, the process of moving. it all came flooding back as i actually had two extra hands and another adult to converse with today in the house. we decided to postpone the haul down to tc with all of our belongings due to my feeling a wee bit overwhelmed from being sick all week previous. i had actually accomplished quite a huge dent despite all of us girls feeling very much under the weather, but i was a little frazzled with my organizational achievements. with this big of a task, i like to have a little more control being organized. having jacob home was that much needed breath of fresh air.

we've had a very fun afternoon. wrapping pictures in bubble wrap. laughing. joking around. patching walls. filling more boxes. more laughing. vacuuming. making lunch. taking down the surround sound. reconfiguring our tv. taking care of, still, two sick girls. laundry. and more laughing.

it really was all quite thrilling. especially when you have someone to share in the process. i've missed my two extra hands this week.

tomorrow will be errand day. i'm hoping that the fresh snow air will be soothing to stuffy noses. maybe a little home depot. a drop off at the thrift store for donation. maybe a bite to eat out as a family. starbucks? yes, yes, i know i said i was decaffeinating my body this year, but it's still early. and i don't want to go wasting good gift cards, do i? that's what i thought. oh, and probably a successful trip to good 'ol wally world. and then home to more packing.

life is good.
