We made it

It's been a crazy week! Pappy arrived on Christmas Eve to help us move. The kids opened a couple presents on Christmas morning and then we spent the day packing. Tuesday we got everything packed into our U-Haul and cleaned the apartment, it was a long day. I hate packing and I'm so tired of moving. Anyway we left Utah early Wednesday morning and drove ALL day, 16 straigh hours in the van with two toddlers. It was okay at first but they spend the last 5 hours screaming (because it was dark and they were tired and wouldn't sleep.) Then Corey got food poisoning (not a good thing during a road trip.) I got no sleep at all Tuesday or Wednesday night and no matter how tired I was I could not sleep in the van. The kids cried the whole trip the second day. But we did make it, got in yesterday afternoon and finally got some sleep.

Today we unpacked everything and things are slowly beginning to get back to normal. John is so upset about everything. He isn't happy with Nana and just wants mommy to hold him. He's so sensitive. Bella LOVES it here. She's a real natural farm girl. Loves the cat that lives outside (she calls it Cow) and loves her new rubber boots the Popeye (that's what she now calls Pappy) bought her. They're her Bobbies and she wants to wear them everywhere.

Anyway I gotta shower and get to bed. We're driving to St. Louis tomorrow and it's a long trip and I don't want to go. The kids will probably not be happy about it either but we have to take Popeye to pick up his rental car that he left of the airport.
