Saturday randoms

[sweetchix]

I have all the cleaning and prep for Easter to do today because I had a huge headache for the last two days and pretty much slept all night after getting home from work yesterday. I started with DDs' room and rearranged a bit. DD1's bed and dresser swapped places and this arrangement gives them so much more space (don't mind the box of books on the floor. I need to donate those). I also need to get an area rug for the empty space now.

Now I'm on to the rest of the house. And laundry. And baking...

What are you all up to today?

[arielroux]

The sellers accepted my offer on the house yesterday. I am under contract! Now I just have to get through inspections. Fingers crossed!

I don't think it's quite sunk in yet.

Between the big talk with the bf, and now the house, I've had a lot happen in the last couple days...jeez.

Kids and I have been doing laundry today.

We ran out and got presents because two of them got party invitations.

Now we're outside playing in the yard. I found out that I need to reseed the backyard...whee?

I wish my bedroom looked this good!

Lol, me too! Mine is a disaster right now. And sadly, this will only last for one day. They come back tomorrow.

I had a great day out getting mani/pedis with one of my friends. Did some shopping, picked up some cute spring tops, ran a couple errands...

I finally get home and go to do some much-needed laundry only to realize that I was supposed to get laundry detergent while I was out. Ugghhhh, now I have to go back out again. I really just want wanted to sit on my ass for a few hours!

 It's pretty much our last night in NY.  We're leaving late tomorrow (Sunday) night.  I'm trying not to think too much to be honest.  I'm nervous and don't want to get upset.  I am excited, but I've never made a big move before and I'm so scared.  It's hard to think that I won't live here anymore.  I'm feeling even more nostalgic because I've been in my childhood room this past week.  
J is feeling the similar, but doesn't say much.  I think we're just trying not to show each other that we're nervous.

@blueyes623 try not to get too stressed...new York isn't going anywhere, and you have a partner to lean on. On my flight when I moved from FL to CA I would randomly begin to sob...embarrassing! But it's a big thing to do, and that causes all sorts of stress. (((Hugs)))

Yes! On our cross-country move our cat was freaking out too (even though we drugged her, a method that usually worked) which just added to the stress. There are a lot of feelings that go along with big changes like long distance moves. I'm sure you're both feeling them, but in the end it'll be great!

Thanks jigsy and bg.  I'm definitely worried about the cats on our road trip as well.  I'm sure I'm going to be crying in the car.  At least only the cats will see me.

I'm watching Sisters and reformatting my Mac mini before I sell it tomorrow. It's time to downgrade a little and put money on debt. I did nail that interview and now I'm just waiting for a call back (hopefully) next week for the offer. I need this, but whatever will be will be. S and I did 2 Easter egg hunts today and the bunny came tonight.

@blueyes623 big hugs. When I moved from NE to TX, I took the first leg of driving, and my mom and exh passed out. I sobbed like uncontrollably for at least 2 hours, I even had to pull over a couple of times. I was only 24, and had never really been out of my hometown in NE, and I hated change so much back then. It was hard, but it ended up being the right move. When I moved from TX to FL, I was older and moving without a SO, it was still hard. I didn't sob like I did previously, but would catch a tear falling down my face occasionally. Again, it was the right decision, and I am much happier. Change of that magnitude is hard no matter who you are!

Thanks for sharing.  I've never lived outside of NYC so this is all new to me.  J and I both need to drive our own cars so we'll be separate which sort of sucks, but it is what it is.  I'm trying to hold it together, but feel that I may be sort of in shock when I actually get there.  It almost doesn't seem real.  But I'm lucky to have J with me.
