Gettin' it done

Sara had her wisdom teeth out this morning. Bryce took the day off and we've been packing while we set the timer for twenty minutes ice packs on, ten minutes off, and then tempting her with soft foods so that her medicine wouldn't sit on an empty stomach. Mostly she's been sleeping.

We chose a job that would keep us close by Sara's room. I picked up some "dish pack" boxes from the moving company yesterday and we did the china hutch. I really thought dish pack boxes would have some special dividers or something, but no, they're just a really tall really heavy cardboard box, and the used ones are $4.50! I think Jerusha has saved us several hundred dollars with all those boxes she collected and saved for us. I got online and found instructions from Allied for filling the dish pack box. We wrapped everything carefully, finishing off both of our newsprint roll ends and starting into the paper that I bought from Allied. But, the china cabinet is empty, the glass front cabinet in the kitchen and the one under the bar are all empty. Whoo hoo!


Several rooms in the house now have piles of boxes, including the living room where the couch used to be.

Sara's sure lucky to be there at home and have you to take care of her--there's nothing like a mom to help you feel better after surgery. And Good work on all those boxes! It will make the move much easier.
