Packing Day

It's 8:41 a.m. According to the rep. from Two Men and a Truck the packers should be arriving sometime between the past 41 minutes and 9:00 a.m.

I'm happy to report that I managed to write my paper, along with the executive summary and the .ppt presentation. I submitted them last night. That's a huge load off! Of course, I have an exam Thursday night that I need to study for, but I think I'll be OK just cramming on Wednesday and before class Thursday.

Lizzy finally decided to go with the room that was already painted green so we ended up having only two rooms to paint rather than three. So Saturday we got Grandma's room painted (I now refer to it as the fish bowl; Lizzy calls it the baby's room because of the pretty baby blue color). We have almost gotten William's room done. It still needs one last coat of red, though, I think. Donald got a lot of the packing that we'd planned to do completed yesterday. I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and spent tons of money buying more frog "decoys" (I'm evil, I know) and other miscellaneous household stuff we needed.

I'm tired today--wasn't able to get to sleep last night until nearly 3 a.m. and then had to be up at 7 a.m.--but I'm a lot less stressed out than when I wrote that last post, thank goodness. I just wish these packing people would get here and get it over with.
