  • Minnesota, Here we come!!

    I think I am about to lose my mind!! We are under the two week mark to move. I am so excited, but then I think about all that we have to do between now and then, and I just want to take a nice LONG nap and have it all behind us...
    As of now, we only have one room semi-packed up. It seems to be a race to see if I can put things in the boxes faster then they can take them out. I made the mistake of packing up some of their toys, so now they think every box has stuff for them in it... and constantly try to retreive it! I am trying to pack while they nap, but lately the baby has been wanting his 'mommy time' during their naps... AAAUGGG!!! I am also trying to get moving cards out, alng with Benjamin's birth announcements (3 MONTHS late... but oh-well). This weekend is DH's last weekend off before the move, so he wants to do a trip toBoston since he hasn't been the whole time we've lived here. It should be fun, but that means that I get to plan all of our endevors on that trip as well.
    Our house looks like a tornado just swept through and we have random things EVERYWHERE!! I tried to clean and organize for a few hours on Monday, but just gave that up completely since everything is going to end up in boxes anyway.
    Not to mention that on our move, I am leaving a week before DH finishes his rotation (we have to be out of our apt here), so I get to travel mid way across the country alone with all three kids and the dog. Fun times, indeed!!
    I think by the time of the Minnesota get-together, you will recognize me as the one in fetal position just rocking back and forth in the corner .
    Well, I better run, so many boxes... so little time!! Thanks for letting me vent for just a bit.

    wow! good luck with your move - I say skip the Boston trip. I've been here twice as long as you guys, and haven't been up there either. Sounds like you've got more than enough on your plate without planning a vacation as well.

      Jen,
      Call if you need some help when you get to town. I know Megan, one of the other spouses in your program, is already here as well. PM me and we'll get together.

        Jen B., My heart just sank for you while reading all you have to do!!! :! I feel for you so much! I was in a similar situation last year...had to move with 3 kids almost by myself so DH could study and take boards but you have got me beat! A cross country road trip with 3 little ones and all the packing. Hang in there and vent anytime, you definetely have my vote for mother of the year! :star:

            Jen,

            Hang in there. Before you know it, you'll be in Rochester enjoying learning all about MN and your new neighborhood etc. It's always so weird after you move...suddenly, the life you've led for the last several years seems to have just .... vanished. At least it always seems like a distant memory to me.

            I'm so excited...we're going to have a huge MN get-together at the end of this summer.

              YIKES! I couldn't even imagine having to do this! Just take a deep breath and focus in on the fact that it will be all over in a few weeks.

                  I may laugh, but I completely second what she said!! Take care. I am going to move with DD by myself....but that's nothing like taking THREE little ones (PLUS a dog!! ) You are definitely mom of the year!!!

                    Jenn, don't forget that if you guys do decide to come up here to Boston you have a free "hotel" to stay in.

                    Oh yeah, and benadryl is a dream come true!
