Did I tell you my Mom was moving?
She's moving to Friday Harbor which is where she moved from when she moved here to Oregon in 2005 and where we moved to from here in 1977.
Did you follow that?
In 1977 we moved from West Linn Oregon to Friday Harbor Washington where we lived in a tent and took showers at a trailer park which is a story for another day.
Anyway, now she's moving back and Six is assisting her with the move and even though I am not involved in the move in any way it's driving me crazy because if anyone knows how to move it's me.
I can assemble a moving team, pack a truck, have the furniture in place and the kids enrolled in a new school before dinner time.
Seriously, I'm that good.
I wrap dishes and chotchkes in clothes, T.V's and computers in blankets and everything else goes in black plastic garbage bags which can be re-used later for trash, so I guess I'm also a green mover, re-use and re-cycle is my motto.
And since I'm talking about re-using....
I was married to Wyatt's Dad twice which makes him 4 & 5 and I can NOT count how many times I packed up and moved us out of that relationship.
I think Trina or Shelley could tell you the exact number, but I personally lost count.
Moving out when I was with him was easy though because I never fully unpacked from the time before so I think the last time I left all I had to do was load the car and close the door.
So back to my Mothers move.
She has been packing for a week and Six has been over there twice to help and today is the final load day before the big day tomorrow when they hit the road.
I tried explaining cost saving to them by getting the truck the day they go but they want to be "organized and stress free".
Organized and stress free?
That's not moving!
I wish I could just go over there and boss everyone around and get everybody worked up, but they won't let me on the job site..
What a bunch of Nancys.
Can you believe they wouldn't let me help?!
ReplyDeleteI guess if it takes twice as long and costs twice as much they get what they deserve!!!
Well calling me would be your best bet, but how fun would it be to curb everything and start over!!!
ReplyDeleteI would still come just to help you shop :)
We did have some pretty good laughs at his expense didn't we? Nothing like a good Jack story to lift a girls spirits. Remember when he used to call the shop and we would put him on speaker phone and DIE listening to his stupid fake Texas accent!!
ReplyDeleteFun to hear your mom is moving back to the island! Three Meadows?
ReplyDeleteI am just getting caught up on some blogs. You crack me up. Can you come and help me move when we get the house done? I've been moving a bit at a time, but I really think I like Deb's idea!
ReplyDeleteHey how did you get the 'reply' to work? I've tried doing that and it never works.
