utter exhaustion

Today's Wednesday...I think. Hard to believe that we only moved here 2 days ago. It feels sort of like forever. We are getting settled in fairly quickly although there are still several boxes to unpack. And a whole storage room full of crap. I think we seriously need to toss some things...or donate them to goodwill!

Monday started later than we planned. Chris was supposed to get the truck at 7:30 and got home shortly after 9 with it. We started loading since babies were napping. Fortunately his mom called out and came over to lend a hand. We had most things packed but had to dismantle the computer, our bed, and the crib that day. Plus I was washing the few dirty dishes we had and packing them as I dried them.

We left Gorham at 3, made a few stops, and arrived in Friendship at 5:30. My mom and brother were there waiting to help unload. I went to bed around 10 or 11...Chris around midnight. He had to make a 2nd trip to get the rest of our stuff on Tuesday. He arrived back here around 3 along with my dad and our car. We spent yesterday unpacking, getting phone and internet, and then in the evening waiting for the direct tv guy.

All went to bed way too late as we had the DTV guy coming so late. That poor guy was here till 9:30 and I couldn't put the babies to bed as he was in the way.

I'm ready to drop and hoping that I can convince Alexa to take a nap...or at least let me nap on the couch while the twins sleep. Then we have to go pick Chris up at work. Unfortunately my dad took our car keys home with him so we can't drive the car till we get them back!!
