Tired but Alive

Today is the first time in a few days that I have been able to even get online to check my email. It has felt like weeks, ugh. We are all 100% moved out of our apt and everything is at the new house in the basement or in the shop. This has been a very tough and trying time for Justin and I. Mostly me. Justin's vacation got switched so he has been working pretty much this whole time. Plus his supervisor or should I say STUPIDVISIOR gave him mandatory overtime. So his 4 days turned into 5 12 hour shifts. So it was up to me to get everything out of the apartment and get the apartment cleaned for our ghetto landlord PLUS get the new house's renovations and all the painting done to make it livable. Thankfully I have some awesome friends and some even better family that all pitched in and helped. Justin was able to get some things done after work at night, but there is only so much energy someone can have after working 12 hours on the paper machine. I would not have survived the last few days without my mother in law and my stepmom. Plus Eric and Kae sure stuck it out there for me. THANK YOU. The previous owners of our house tore down the wall to the 2nd upstairs bedroom to make a HUGE livingroom. We put it back up (with some help from Ryan.) But a 1 day project turned into 5 because of Justin's work schedule. The kitchen was a disgusting mess and required degresser, sanding, painting and new floors. All which are still not entirely done. Everything is happening, not as fast as I would hope. I am just praying for everything to come together soon. I'm tired, and really need a good shower and a razor. We did discover our new neighbor's are very cool people. For that I will take to bed being thankful I am not living next door to jerks who smoke pot on the porch and throw wild parties. Ah, Amen for that. :)
Also, check out Michelle Wolf blog (on my page) Eric and Kae had their pic's done from her and they are AMAZING... I believe the title was "ADORABLE".

I only wish we could do more, but when you have 3 kids in tow, not much is able to be done. Glad you FINALLY got a damn house!
