See, I am  NOT dead. Just in the midst of a move. 

Which is very similar to death. 


 Can you tell I hate moving? I had a ton of help though so the packing and the actual hauling of the household crap wasn't too bad. I did get kinda worn out the actual move day and had to hang out in a friends car while the last of the heavy stuff got hauled away. But hey, I figured it would be better to be thought of as lazy than to fall down and embarrass myself again.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the apartment we moved into. It is actually more like a condo cause of the attached garage as well as the upstairs and downstairs thing going on, but more importantly, I can actually handle keeping this clean, we don't have to worry about maintenance or yard work, we have a POOL, and Oh Thank The LORD Above, we don't have to worry about landlords going bankrupt or the big bad banks coming to tell us the house is in foreclosure even though we have been paying our rent religiously, and we gotta get our booties out. ( *happy little sigh)

And the icing on the cake is that the neighbors are WONDERFUL!  All of them seem to be, but imagine this--- we live 3 doors down from a mom with 2 Jedi kids (Translation: autistic, for those of you unfamiliar with my side bar favs) So hopefully we won't have the nice policey mans call on us when a child goes giggling into the night clad only in underwear and a batman cape... And yes that has happened. (In all fairness to us as parents, that was before we discovered those little alarm thingys you can tape on your doors to screech at little wanna be escape artists and thereby preventing the neighborhood from thinking that you are the worlds worst guardians - bar none).

So here I am struggling to get everything organized and unpacked - but not doing too bad actually. Yes I get worn out,and yes I am slower than molasses in January and yes, I sure do wish for that super speed bit, but slowly and steadily we are getting thing together. And if I have to move again in the next ten years I swear I might just... welllll lets not temp fate shall we?
