Yep, one of "those" days....

Today we got up early and went and picked up the U-Haul as soon as they opened at 0900. Came home and started packing and loading things up. First trip we managed to get most of our large stuff. And by our, I mean mine and J's stuff. My mom had been staying with us and we have all of her stuff also. Got that unloaded at the storage facility and I had to run down and get my hair cut. Came back and J had the truck about half way loaded again so we finished with a bunch of boxes and the rest of our large stuff. Got back to the house and started in on Mom's stuff. She has a LOT of stuff here. More than any of us realized. We have been at it since 0930, the house is a complete and total disaster, it doesn't look like we have accompolished a single thing, it is 2345 hrs and the freaking power just went out in the neighborhood. Everyone is dark. Sheesh! We have most of Mom's stuff by the front door but we still have to move it in the morning, drop the U-Haul off by 0900 and be over in Justin,TX by 1100 hrs to pick up our load. I absolutely hate leaving the house like this, but there isn't much we can do about it. As much as I want this place to sell, I really hope no one looks at it before we get back for Justin's graduation on June 9th. I am hoping when we come back for that we can take another couple of days off and get most of this finished. We just can't afford to take a full week off right now since we have just started with Prime and don't have enough saved up to miss that weekly truck payment.

Anyway, it is now after midnight, we have to get up in less than 6 hours, so my ass is heading out to the truck to go to bed. Why the truck you ask? Well, our bed in the house is in storage and we were going to sleep on the couch before we load it in the morning, but now the power is out and that means no A/C in the house. That is unbearable here in Texas. It is HOT!

More later tomorrow when I am more coherent.
