Actually, you might like it, it is a perfect excuse to toss out all the stuff you hate and start fresh. <br /><br />As for the napping...yeah, mine are really into being in their own beds. The little one naps 2-3 times a day, the big one takes 1 nap, these naps overlap for maybe 20 minutes a day...I am a prisoner in my own home. I feel your pain, we clearly need a support group!<br /><br />Good luck with the move!Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535022454517229560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-84950289853460489452010-06-03T10:19:19.956-07:002010-06-03T10:19:19.956-07:00I've been wondering about the whole moving/ren...I've been wondering about the whole moving/renters/etc. thing, so I'm glad you posted about it even if you're reticent to write "what's going on with me" posts. Also, my kid is the kid that will not nap in a car or stroller or anywhere other than my lap at home. He'll sleep all night in his crib and in a crib at child care, but only my lap at home. Not even in bed with me at home, which I'd be all about because I could nap as well. I know people with kids who will nap in GROCERY CART seats and in their ARMS while doing errands, etc. and I'm talking toddlers, not newborns. Where do I get me one of those?Accidentshttp://bigpreg.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-51417621164621512502010-06-02T12:31:48.117-07:002010-06-02T12:31:48.117-07:00Whew, I'm tired just thinking of this all for ...Whew, I'm tired just thinking of this all for you! If I were a little farther north, I'd offer to help pack...well, actually you probably don't want my help packing. I'm pretty bad at it--I'm more a "sweep it all in a box and hope it works out ok" kind of packer. But I would still offer!Gingerhttp://rambleramble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-61793454180583871102010-05-31T09:40:36.493-07:002010-05-31T09:40:36.493-07:00It's true.

I'm okay with it. It will be weird, but I'm trying to look at the brightside, which is that at least I'll finally get to live in a place built after the 1950's!<br /><br />And, yeah. 1.5 hour commutes, are definitely not good. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314404326604784926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-85782422250366380052010-05-31T07:00:48.359-07:002010-05-31T07:00:48.359-07:00I wish I were on your side of the country because ...I wish I were on your side of the country because then I could help you move (really, I'm a great packer, and a great follower of directions).<br /><br />The good news is that in four weeks, you're done! New house, better commute, better everything. It's going to suck in the meantime, but the payoff is going to be great.<br /><br />This also helps me inadvertently because it reminds me that 1.5 hour commutes? Are NOT GOOD. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-54481781660861920812010-05-30T22:32:40.171-07:002010-05-30T22:32:40.171-07:00Thanks, Mom. :)Thanks, Mom. :)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314404326604784926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-58109168869283052772010-05-30T21:53:40.775-07:002010-05-30T21:53:40.775-07:00It sucks that you have to do it in three weeks, bu...It sucks that you have to do it in three weeks, but letting go of material stuff is very freeing. You'll be surprised what you can do without. (I say that like I don't have a shit-load of stuff in storage....) I'll do what I can to hel, and when it is all over, your lives will be better. Sadly, you'll be farther away, but it will be better for Chris.<br />Good luck, baby!KC Rawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184084337311564450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851562882838801276.post-21234974265977551202010-05-30T21:51:40.484-07:002010-05-30T21:51:40.484-07:00Thank you for the crossed fingers!

And, just so you know, none of my 3 children were sack-it-out-anywhere-types and I think that is ultimately a really good thing, because it means they have a will. It may feel tougher now, but a strong will WILL serve C very well in the years to come.<br /><br />Take care!janethttp://janetlansbury.comnoreply@blogger.com
