Ugh
So, it’s all like, “YAY, new house, yada yada yada!”
…And then the next day, you are still ridiculously sick with bronchitis or possibly pneumonia, and your kitchen looks like THAT (see above), and you have a mini fridge masquerading as a full size, which actually looks kind of funny….
WE DID IT!
After months of torturous delays, the genesis of George, and other assorted unbelievable shenanigans, we are FINALLY homeowners! So today felt a lot like this:
But now…we have 2 days to finish packing the house. Double OH-EM-GEE. And I have come down with bronchitis. 
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh
Aren’t kids supposed to SLEEP MORE when they are sick (you know, not like, hospital-sick, but just I-have-a-cold-and-want-to-make-my-parents-crazy-sick)? Geez, we stupidly figured that she could just as easily be sick with her cold at grandmother’s house as ours so we went up the hill for the weekend. K didn’t even NAP during the 2.5 hour drive, either coming or going! By the end of the trip home, she was whining/complaining incoherently about nothing, and I was babbling incoherently about nothing right back to her.
I’d try to construct a weekend summary post with some kind of intelligence behind it but quite frankly, my nerves are shot, my eardrums are bleeding (figuratively–possibly literally if tomorrow is anything like today) and no one else needs to suffer through all the whining, crying, drama, and sheer test of parental willpower of the last 2 days.
As FF says, next time she is sick and whiney, we will crate her up with a jug of water and some towels and overnight Fedex her TO GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE.
