Last chance

Today was our last chance to buy anything that we wanted to get into our sea freight. The movers come bright and early tomorrow morning. We have been "filling" orders for several of hubby's expat coworkers. Deodorant, medicine (children's benadryl and ibuprofen being the most popular), pancake mix. And of course, every time they tell us to pick them up something, we think...hmm, we probably will need that too. Our front room was completely empty --all the furniture in that room had been put into storage. But if you walked in and looked in that room, you would see boxes and packages of food and personal items for us and the others waiting to go tomorrow. Hubby even had an order today from his assistant --grape jelly. And she is even British. But apparently they don't have it there, and some expat has turned her on to the wonder of grape jelly, so off to Sam's club he went to buy her some --and of course, some for us too. Gerbie loves grape jelly toast. There are three guys coming tomorrow to pack and load the truck. I am worried that they will take something meant for storage or for our suitcases, and/or not take something that we want them to take. So, between hubby and I, we need to tag team and follow them around the house. It will be a long day. They are coming bright and early, and said they should finish around dinner time. Tonight, we are trying to make sure things are ready for them as much as possible. I stopped to eat a piece of pizza and type this up, now I am back to work. Hoping tomorrow goes ok....
