Imagine wildebeest, so very fine

The dotter has been singing “Happy Together” with the Turtles CD in the car, but she doesn’t have all the words down quite right yet.  I thought the post title was especially fun.

One and Only True Love stopped by with his mom and dad to present an oh-so-sweet piece of artwork, full of hearts and and flowers and “best friends”, to the dotter.  So OAOTL’s mom and I sat around chatting, while dad went off to look at yard sales, and then, when he returned, he asked what we were going to do with the Trusty Justy.  Sold!

Then they hauled the dotter and her bike off with them for an afternoon with OAOTL.  Ah, joy!  Another few hours of being able to pack and paint and clean (even more) without the dotter underfoot!

OmegaDad and I have a yin and yang thing going on.  Remember how totally freaked out I was?  Well, now that we have less than a week (the packers are coming on Thursday, the loaders on Friday), and we’ve painted and fixed up bathrooms and hallways and had Merry Maids in to scrub cabinets in the kitchen, and removed many boxes from various spots of the house and tossed a large quantity of stuff, I am feeling much more relaxed.

OmegaDad, however, was all laid back and nonchalant when I was uptight, and is now frantic.  “We have only four days left!  How are we going to get everything done in time!”

Hah.

Well, it doesn’t help that the paperwork that the residential property handling company sent us had both our names misspelled.  I noticed that mine was wrong right away, so called up to have them FedEx us a new packet.  Then OmegaDad read it and noticed right away that his name was incorrect, too.  So they have to send us yet another copy of the packet.

But things will get done.  And I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
