Daunting

Thats what this week has been... in a nutshell-. Why is it that we wait until we're renting or selling our houses to make it look the best it ever has? Why don't we do that for ourselves?
Moving this last week has been evil. We started last Saturday & still have work to do. Once all the crap was gone, we had to clean, paint, weed, and repair everything imaginable. We're lucky to have a good friend with a trailer & a willingness to help us move the big stuff!!! Thanx Brandon :) We got the big stuff last weekend & have been at my parents since then. It's at this point when you realize how much "little" stuff you have & the getting rid of crap begins!... why do we have this? do you know what this is? where did this come from?
You'd think once the stuff was moved you would be in the clear zone.. but you'd be wrong! Then on top of all that, I got sick in the middle of it. Thursday- Saturday were filled with moving little stuff & CLEANING! Thanx a BAJILLION to Sean's fam for helping us do alot of the work!!!! Tif & Caio helped us paint a ton & clean a ton!! & did you know how much work is interrupted by a baby who can't tell you why exactly it is they are fussing? it helps alot to have someone willing io help take care of the baby too...(thanx Tif) & did you know how amazing oven cleaner is? Love that stuff! & Thanx to Seans mom, & Mark too for all the help cleaning!!
Here is Max & Tif painting grout lines.. glamorous work!! & thanx to Max (shown here in his Steelers attire) for mowing, pulling, grouting & dealing (with us).

& Des for pulling the worlds largest weed, growing right in our front yard!! How unbelievably embarassing!!!!

At about 7 ish last night I declared that I would no longer be functional if I was to stay at our house cleaning... I offficially feel like a piece of crap!! & my head is about 70% full of gunk! So instead of staying until ridiculous hours of the night cleaning, we came home... Hallelujah! ... to another house full of boxes we must figure out where to put now. Yeah!!! Wahoo!!!

Did you also know that even when your feel like the biggest piece of crap, you are still a mom?! You still get to wake up & feed & change the crying baby. At least (knock on wood) my baby isn't the sick one (like Tammie's poor little Benny on breathin treatments :( ) Thank heavens for a husband who wakes up with our baby too!!!!

Sam was sitting on the couch last night & started to fall over, revealing some serious crack!!..

Gotta love it!

Sean loves Sam alot. He calls him his buddy. I think it's funny cause that makes me think of the doll when I was growing up called, My Buddy (Phil, did you have that?) this was the male counterpart to, of course, Kid Sister... "wherever I go.. your gonna go!... My Buddy (or kid sister) & me!!! " I sing this song to Sean & Sam..

Here ar the buddies-

He loves to make him do whatever it is he is doing. I love that. I could deal with a little less teasing though... heaven help our poor baby.

and now I will sleep... like I've never slept before... all day long.. to decrease the crappy feeling & down as much oj as humanly possible... only to wake up to watch the Cardinals kick Steeler booty!
