Big, big mess

So moving is a messy, ugly business. As I mentioned in a previous post we moved a 26ft (the largest we could get) moving truck with MOST of our worldly possessions to Georgia a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, we couldn't fit it all, and now I'm left dealing with the odds and ends (AKA crap that I have no idea what to do with).

The only method of attack I could come up with was to pull it all out of the closets, the attic, and cabinets and put it in one place (my otherwise empty living/dining room area) for sorting and packing. This resulted in a mess A LOT larger that I had anticipated (who knew that much 'stuff' could hide in closets, cabinets and an attic?!?).

When I brought Clara home from preschool she walked into the living room, put her hands on her hips and said "Big, big mess" with more disdain that I would have thought a 2 year old could muster. I swear she made me feel ashamed for creating such chaos. But if you look at these pictures I think you will see that her assessment is dead-on.

Where in the world are the Pecunia's

Life has been a little busy for us lately. Last week we moved most of our stuff up to Macon, Georgia in anticipation of Patrick's first day at his new job this Monday, April 12. For now our stuff, Patrick and Clara are in a two bedroom (aka - small) apartment in Georgia while I stay in Florida to work and hopefully sell our house... but we don't even have it on the market yet. I miss my little girl (and yes, even my husband :) oodles, but it looks like we have several months of this split living ahead of us. Luckily the Grandmas are stepping up with the Clara-care and I have every other week off to run up and visit everyone.

The move I am sorry to say somewhat overshadowed both Easter and Clara's 2nd birthday. We still celebrated, but unfortunately my camera was lost in the moving shuffle so I have no pictures to post. Grandma Dayna has some birthday pictures on her camera that I'll try to get soon. Easter was not documented at all, but rest assured, Clara had a very nice egg hunt around her new apartment and despite the move that 'ol Easter bunny still managed to find her and deliver a nice basket of goodies.
