moving. is. chaos.

i love this picture.

we are done.  

well, out of the moldy house, anyway.

now we are getting the new place together.

it has been a long and stressful week and a half, 

and there are so many people that stepped in to help us.

it makes me want to cry just thinking about it,

how grateful i feel.

because i know how sore and tired i am, 

with all that went on.  i pushed myself.

i did try to take it easy, 

and took multiple breaks

and moments to sit down

or just literally crash on a bed.

but i also know how many boxes i didn't lift and carry,

or even pack and unpack.

and how many meals i didn't have to cook,

and how many loads of mold-infested laundry that i didn't wash,

and how many cupboards i didn't fill,

and how many beds/shelves/dressers i didn't put back together.

and i know those who did do those things so that i didn't have to.

so an enormous thank you

to all those involved in our emergency move.

from the bottom of my heart, and the top of my big belly.
