The packers showed up a day early. I wasn't ready.....
There was only ONE of me, there were THREE of them. I was trying to stay ahead of them... racing to get stuff into the dumpster so it wouldn't be packed. I was failing!!
At noon they had ran out of boxes... ?? There was talk of them leaving...??? Funny, there were plenty of boxes on the truck parked out front....??? Seems the estimator estimated that there would be 39 cartons.... when all the dust settled, they had packed 61. I would say that someone needs a refresher course in MATH....
The movers showed up a day early. I wasn't ready...... AND the packers had NOT finiished packing. They left everything in the hall closet and the bathroom. Luckily the movers had MORE boxes and helped out.
We stayed in a motel on Wednesday night.... right next door to the bar/grill that was having a Harley show/party...NO, we did not get much sleep that night
We drove to Cordell Georgia and stayed Thursday night.... right next door to the room that had the deaf woman that screamed all night. Seems she was in town for a funeral and her son dropped her off at the hotel (she'd never been away from home in her life... so she said) Just how stupid is it to knock on a deaf person's door??? That's what the management did... Duh! They ended up giving us the room for free, since we didn't actually achieve "sleep".
We drove to Dalton, Georgia on Friday night. We requested the "quietest room available". We finally slept.
We got home on Saturday and the furniture got here on Monday.
We are still dodging boxes.... I swear they are breeding in the garage!
Only two phone jacks worked in the house. My friend, the telephone man, came and fixed all but one of them today.
Now I have to go and clean the apartment tomorrow.... gag me! But at least it will be over.
AND I retrieved my car from the in-laws....
oh, and SIL is about to lose both her jeep and her apartment. *sigh* The girl just never learns.......
