Last night Evelyn decided she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed even though we haven't put it together yet, so she went to sleep all alone in her room on just her mattress. I slept like crap because I kept worrying about her, but she did great. She did fall off the mattress (not meant to be alone like that) and that upset her a little, but she got back in and went back to sleep. Until early this morning, probably when the sun was shining in her room where we forgot to put the curtain back up, when she went to our bedroom door and layed down on the floor. She looked so pathetic and sad when I got her. She came back and snuggled in bed this morning and then around 9am literally pushed Cliff out of bed.
It was another long day packing the old house up and we're still not done. Bert again came and helped us out (do you see a pattern here?) but when we realized he was missing lots of time with his daughter we sent him home and finally called my brother to come assist us unload the truck. It was great having him and his family over. They brought us dinner (and Cliff discovered Little Caesars Pizza is actually really good with fresh basil on it) and all the kids got a chance to play together for a few hours. Something I know my kids really needed and we just haven't been able to do.
While at the old house Evelyn discovered her birthday toys that we never gave her so he opened her presents and went to sleep tonight on the couch cuddling her new night light friend.
The old house is so close to being done and yet somehow I've lost my kitchen again under a new mound of boxes. Where did we keep all this stuff?! It makes me think of a video I saw many years ago by George Carlin...
My own little pile of stuff with a cover on it.
