Damn. I am pooped (the exhausted kind, not feces!) and covered in bruises.
This weekend was the big moving day for my mom. I swear I must be on some hidden camera reality show, someone must be playing an evil trick on me because once again my life resembled a really bad comedy movie.
On Saturday morning Cory & I were going to pick up the U-haul at around 10:00 AM. We would have got an earlier start to the day but my mom is not a morning person so getting to her house at 10:30 is early for her. We get to the place where Cory thought he reserved the U-haul only to hear the guy who owns the place say "Oh, I haven't had U-hauls here for rent in 6 months." Great. So we went to the other U-haul place in town only to find out that the phone calls for the first place we went to is automatically re-routed to the second place but we were not aware of that. Luckily they had Cory's reservation, but then Cory realized he didn't have his license on him so we had to go back home get the license, go back and get the U-haul, drive out to my mom's and start loading it. By then it was almost Noon. At around 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM we had my car and the U-haul as full as they would get and there were still a bunch of things leftover in my mom's apartment so we knew we would have to come back on Sunday to get them because there wouldn't be time to come back that night.
Cory gets in the U-haul and turns the key. It was dead. After 4 or 5 hours out on a busy road with the flashers on I guess the battery died. Agghh!! We had to go buy jumper cables and that worked, thankfully. We made it to my mom's new apartment and we didn't have any major disasters after that but it was tiring unloading everything since it was just my mom, Cory and I and her new apartment is on the 2nd floor. We were still unloading stuff at almost 11:00 at night and then I had to drive my mom to a 24 hour Wal-mart to get desperately needed items. I didn't get home and in bed until around 1:00 AM. We had to get up at around 9:00 on Sunday to return the U-haul and then the 3 of us took two vehicles back out to my mom's where we once again packed the rest of her belongings in. Everything JUST fit! My mom had to ride with a huge box on her lap on the passenger side of my car.
When we were unloading my car I happened to look over to see two guys cutting through a path at the end of her new apartment building's driveway. They stopped in some not-so-thick bushes about 15 feet away from me where they apparently though was a good place to pee. Lovely.
I was at my mom's last night until almost midnight so today I feel like a zombie. My eyelids are so heavy. I can't wait to go to bed but today is my mom's birthday so I have to go pick up my sister, we will eat dinner at my house, then we will go out and buy my mom an ice cream cake because I'm in no condition to be baking and then wait for my mom to get home at around 8:30 or 8:45 to bring the cake over to her. Another late night. I'm not used to this. Usually I'm lounging around in my pajamas by 6:30 every night!
