Life continues to be kicking my butt, sigh. I seriously don't know why I'm having so much trouble keeping up with my online presence, but I am. I didn't even sub last week. Don't know if my kids are being more needy or what ( Read more... )

Today we packed up the rest of our house, gave it a cursory re-cleaning, and left. Except for when Will has to swing by later this week to pick up the radon tester (now that the de-radon-ator has been installed), we don't plan to be back in our house ever again.

We essentially moved this past Thurs, although there was a bit more back-and-forth for remaining cleaning and leftover items. The old house is officially on the market (anyone want to move to Eastern PA?) and is devoid of anything that really made it feel like ours (despite still containing almost all our furniture), so it feels weird now.
