I have not posted for awhile. These past few weeks have been crazy once again, with this last week being especially nuts. Last week my back went out and Jackson got sick, then this week Baron has been throwing up and pooping 10's a day sometimes. On top of all that, this past weekend we FINALLY got keys and signed all the paperwork for the managing apartment at our complex. They didn't finish cleaning it until Saturday night though, making it available to move-in starting Sunday. I was suppose to start working as the new manager on Monday, meaning we needed most of our stuff over at the new place before Monday so I could manage from the office and take care of the kids because John still has to go to work, especially since he is a tax accountant. Not the best time of year for all of this. Great. So since we don't have much family around that can ever help out and we couldn't really ask the EQ to help out on Sunday, we ended up moving by ourselves most of our stuff with the help of our new recent and very worth it purchase of a dolly. (Why did we not buy one 4 years ago since we have moved a million times?? It made it SOOO much easier and faster!) We worked hard though and got most of our stuff moved over so I could start work.
So far, managing here is about 1000 x's better than the last place and company!! It is WAY more organized, plus it is always nice to have a separate room for the office complete with company computer (we don't have to use our own for work!!!), a nice big desk, filing cabinets, a fax machine and line, a copier/printer/scanner, internet and phone line and plenty of supplies. AND our apartment is bigger, located on the corner (no neighbors/shared walls with our bedrooms!! Baron- you can cry all night if you'd like now :)) and most importantly, IT'S ON THE 1ST FLOOR!! No more making my knee worse by climbing 3 flights of stairs with 2 kids multiple times a day like I was doing at the last complex! Wahoo! Now I am working on getting my knee back in shape so I can finally start running again and so I can finally loose the weight from having #2... more than a year and a surgery later!
SO, things have been going very smoothly with managing for the first week and we are looking forward to paying off some debt and getting ahead! We still have lots to unpack and decorate, plus Baron is still sick and John still busy at work and studying for hopefully what will be his last CPA test on April 17th. So life will continue to be a little hectic for a few more weeks, but after that, we want visitors and to hang out with friends again!!! We really miss normalcy. So tired of all this insane craziness. I just hope everyone didn't give up on us out there!! I guess time will tell :) Sorry, no pictures today... gotta get back to work! Just thought it would be nice to give an update/explanation of our where-abouts (sp?)!

Yeah!!!! I am so glad that you guys are all moved in. Hopefully you can get all settled in quickly.
oh my goodness, you moved everything in a day?!! we should have been over there helping too!! if there's a day next week (after all of our kiddos get better) that you want to drop the boys off (can you leave while you're managing?) or have us come there, I'd be happy to watch the kids so you can get some things organized. Seriously.
No wonder your back went out again! :S Moving yourself in a day and having to unpack enough to funtion, too! I hope that everything comes back to equilibrium soon and that Bear is feeling better. Throwing up AND pooping is the worst!
It is no fun having sick kids that is for sure. Especially throwing up...it makes me sad that all a parent can do is wait till they are done before giving them a big hug!! I hope everyone gets better soon!!!
ugh! Glad you made it through the crazy week okay! that is nuts. I wish I could be there to help so bad! I'm soooo glad you guys moved to this place, and it sounds so pefect! Hopefully things slow down and you guys get to do something fun soon!!! 10 diapers a day... yikes baby Bear, what are you eating!
