It's true...and I think my children are getting cabin fever. Oh wait, I did have a eye dr. appt. on Monday that I made it to, but that's about it. I have had a particularly bad Gleevec week and most of my week has been spent lying or sitting on a heating pad and popping Advil. That being said, I felt waaayyyy better yesterday and today and even managed to make dinner and unpack the kids from our trip yesterday and today we are going to venture to Target. I don't think I'm quite up to a big trip to the grocery store or Wal-Mart, but a smallish trip to Target for two birthday gifts is right up my alley. Seriously, when have I ever turned down a Target run? Then, tonight while Eli is at a birthday party, we are going to look at new appliances and washers and dryers for the house. Yeah!
I think of some of my not feeling very well comes from the fact that Brad said we are going to put the house on the market in three weeks! Three weeks!! My slight anxiety at cleaning out and moving is amplified by the Gleevec because one of it's side effects is anxiety (no joking) and it makes my insides quake and I start sweating bullets as soon as I think about moving. Oh, the actual day doesn't bother me. It's the cleaning out closets and drawers and garages and organizing and keeping the house clean and showing it to people and then worrying about when it will sell and about what if it sells before our other house is ready and what happens if it doesn't sell and then actually moving and then unpacking and organizing the new house that overwhelms me. I mean literally overwhelms me. Trust me, it doesn't take much these days. I told Brad I would make a list of everything that needed to be done in next three weeks. I haven't done it yet, but I can't decide if that will help me feel that it's manageable to just throw me into a stupor where all I can do is stare at the wall and babble. I'll let you know.
In the meantime, I have an ungodly amount of laundry to do (it's bad when your five year old says, "Mom all the clothes in the hamper are overflowing to the floor.") and I should probably unpack my own clothes. I wouldn't want to get too ambitious though! :)

I am reading this blog and thinking to myself - wasn't that me a month ago? At least the moving part. I know for me it was much easier to make a list and mark off things. That way at least they were on paper and not wondering around in my head. I swear I would thing of the same thing 3 times and FEEL like there were 3 things to do instead of one. Let me know if you need any help - I really do mean that. I am just a phone call away.
I am right there with you on the cleaning out of stuff! And I always have clothes overflowing! If you need help packing and cleaning out let me know!

I feel you! I HATE moving and we are about to do that. I have all the same worries right now. Call if you need to vent about them or just need some to worry with. We are in the same boat! YUCK! Wish I could help! :)
Love you!
So when can I come and pick up your kids for a week with Nena and Aunt Carrie in Dallas? You know you need it and so do they!!
Think about it!!!
Love ya!
Aunt Carrie
I'm so sorry that you've had such a crummy week. Shopping for appliances is pretty fun though. We recently bought the Whirlpool Duet Steam washer and dryer. I absolutely love them! I can do all of my kid's laundry in one load. It has really cut down on the number of loads that we have had to do. Let me know if you need any help with packing or cleaning--I definitely do not mind helping!
