I think I will be just fine staying in a hotel for the next couple of weeks.  The kids were bouncing off the walls waiting to go to the hotel yesterday.  We finally made it into our room around 4pm.  We had seven pieces of luggage and 5 cardboard boxes.  You would think we were moving to Paris or something.

Once we checked into our room and unpacked, I took a nice long soak in a huge whirlpool tub and as I lay my head back against a soft towel I whispered to God "Thank you for this gift".   I am absolutely spent with a few more full days ahead and I needed this small setback.  He knew.  (I am so glad I didn't pitch a fit, I would have felt really terrible). 

Today the movers will be coming and I need to open up the house for them and make a quick run through the house with a couple of large "hefty" bags and dump some old toys while the kids are busy with Daddy.   I also need to take care of "fish drop off" with my dear friend who volunteered to watch them for us.  Thanks Heidi!  I will miss you terribly.  I have enjoyed your beautiful face, witty personality, parenting example (you didn't know that I watched and have learned a lot from the way you Mother William and Ana, you are an amazing Mother) and friendship the last few years.  You will be missed!
