The house is done ALREADY?!!

I must continue blogging just so I can remember all that we are going thru with this move, cause I am sure after it is all over and life slows a bit we will not remember all the trials and tribulations of our decision.

Well we find out today, that our house is finished, and it will be shipped as early as Monday!! So we begin to FREAK OUT, because we were not expecting it until mid-April, so now Tony goes into overdrive mode and starts calling around to rent the equipment we need to dig the footers (42 of them to be exact) and also calls to order the 18 yards of concrete (that's 2 truckloads) to be delivered tomorrow.

I somehow managed to get my payroll done and processed and organize my desk slightly before my mom invited me out on a shopping trip with her to Boscovs ( I needed a break, have not gone clothes shopping in what seems like YEARS) in which I spent too much money, but got a beautiful pants suit with a jacket, and another complete outfit and some extra blouses and spent like $160, I was feeling rather sick about the whole thing when she reminded me of Tony's and I's business trip in 2 weeks to Nashville (where some new clothes would be perfect!). We got home and got the kids, and headed out to the house site to find them slowly but surely digging holes...Tony kept hitting rocks and each hole has to be 32" deep, and on and on, we got about 19 holes dug before we lost light and everyone quit for the night, so hopefully they can get an early start and stay ahead of the concrete truck in the morning!

I feel really bad for my Tony, he is stressed beyond comprehension, trying to keep the creamery running, and trying to get the house site ready, and then we have to disassemble the playset and move it and move all our stuff...it is just alot right now! I am very proud of him though, because he never complains, and he gets into whatever he needs to with 110% and gives it his all! He will be running a back hoe here in the next few days to run our water and sewer lines (which he has never done before!)

It is almost 8:00 and I am patiently waiting for Tony and Gabe to get home with our Chinese that we ordered out for dinner...Sophia was begging to be put to bed, so I got her bathed and down as soon as I got home, she was practically asleep before her head hit the pillow...(I think I know a few more of us that will be the same way tonight)!
