We had a busy, but good weekend. Bean had some playdates and played in the snow for awhile –building a snowman in our yard while I had a great visit with my college roommate, and sledding at a good friend’s house. Some of the moments were caught on camera, and turned out great. I guess I liked the snow a little this week, since my children had so much fun in it, but I stand by my last post about hating snow aside from that. When we weren’t having fun, we were packing. My mom was visiting and our closets have been cleaned and sorted. I think I have a general idea in each area of our house now, what is going into storage and what is going with us. It is very hard to decide what to do with some of our more personal things, like pictures. Do I put them in storage or take them? I don’t want anything to happen to them, and to be honest there are risks for whatever I do with them. Getting lost at sea? Let’s hope not. Pod storage facility burning down? Again, let’s hope not. Did I mention that I usually look for “what could go wrong in this scenario?” but ultimately, I think I stay optimistic…..even if a little worried. We are leaving in less than a month, and I am feeling the stress. Right when I feel like I have a handle on the calendar, the things that are booked and the things that need to be done, I think of more. It is really hard to pack up a house and move to a new country….not that I thought it would be easy, I am just saying. But there is good news –this weekend, while we were having fun in Ohio, my husband was having fun in England, buying much needed necessities like car seats and TV’s. The best news….he has a lead on where to find Mac and Cheese. Yes, this really IS a big deal for my kids, I have not been joking. However, still no word on Ranch Dressing.
