Fish tacos at the new apartment |
Celebrating Peruvian Independence Day |
At Mc Donald's cooling off from another 100 F hot day |
While Isis, Isaac and me were hanging out in the little park across the street, the previous tenants were still moving out. Boxes, bags, furniture, toys and even all kind of garage sales items were hult out of the apartment by a groups of Middle Easter dudes. In the other side of the street, our movers (the Mexicans) were waiting with three trailers each with a mountain of stuff to move in. It was a brief representation of the multicultural face of Madison. The couple moving out were absolutely stress, almost losing their minds. They are now getting divorce and I am wondering if moving maybe the most stressful activity for a family.
We are passed those days though. Now we have cable, internet and even a house phone because when we "BUNDLE" the cable company give it to us for "free" (you know what I mean) Some boxes and I really have to say SOME boxes are put away. There is still a great amount of laundry to do as usual and lots of toys laying around every corner. I guess if I would LOVE to have everything in some sort of containers but... like I say there is always a BUT, it will be too much. I just hoping the apartment will look like home at some point. My hopes are high and Gorman's too. He bought his FIRST HAMMER yesterday to put up some pictures and wall decor. THAT IS MAJOR! We never, almost never put pictures up because we believe we DID NOT find OUR PLACE TO LIVE FOR EVER. I wondering if we ever will find it????
Feels good though to go back to NORMALITY! walks to the park, watch Elmo in the morning, visit the Library, blogging a little, catch up with some bad TV shows and some good ones, have wine in the deck and put the kids to sleep with the Lullabalies in Pandora. It has been a long and exhausting 12 days. I am ready for a break but (again BUT) there will be no one anytime soon.
Mila- Thank you for the update on your blog!! As always I love reading your blog and I wish I had the talent to write publicly but I don't. I wish I could have seen you and your family during bluegill fest but I was very busy with work. I am starting a new job on Monday which will give me 3 day weekends each week....maybe Travis and I will have to pay a visit to you guys, now that we have a reliable vehicle! I would LOVE to help you organize your place and make it feel more like a home! I understand the stress of moving and how it takes so long to finally feel normal again.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon!!
