it came to a head last night. finally, jamie and i looked at each other and said, “what the heck is the deal with us? we have been grumpy, snappy, and just mean to each other for the past few days!” we’re usually very gracious to each other, but this week has not been a good one. i’ve been easily annoyed and quick to point out faults, etc. it’s sucked. seems the smallest things have irritated me.

i think this week of packing, cleaning, selling, buying, and transitioning has just made it all weird at home. we realized that since monday, we have not left the house. we haven’t done anything fun, we haven’t gone anywhere… just the 4 of us in a messy half-packed house. the kitchen counters haven’t been cleaned once, they are stacked dishes and glass waiting to be packed. the garage is stacked to the ceiling (almost) with boxes and things that are to be sold, etc. if you’ve moved, you know what i’m talking about! it’s a wreck.

poor kids haven’t had any FUN this week either! (they’ve been grumpy too). i think all of this + knowing how much more has to be done has taken a toll on jamie, me, and kids. so, we’re taking a little break tomorrow. we’re going to get everyone out of the house and find something fun to do. maybe drive out to Bell Buckle since we’ve never been. jamie has been wanting to go there for a while, so maybe we’ll check it out.

we’ve got 6 more days… lots to do… but we gotta stop the grumpiness!! i want my fun/happy family back!
