Today I was able to plug in our wireless router and * POOF * I had Internet service. Yesterday the Direct TV guy came and the boys were able to watch 15 minutes of a PBS Kids show. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good night's sleep last night because I was able to sit on the couch and watch TV. I'm thinking that my reasons for not sleeping well are due to the fact that I cannot shut my mind off. Then I decided to watch TV to try to go to sleep and end up watching something interesting. The result is that I'm awake until 3:00 am - not good.
Still, the events of the past week have been scary - scary in a good sense. I say scary because things are looking better everyday. Remember the post about moving that I wrote this past September? Picture the exact opposite of that move where things go ridiculously smoothly, don't cost as much as I expected, and as of day 2 of the move most of the boxes have been cleared or unpacked. As of 2:00 the day of the move the beds were put together and the boys were fitfully napping on them. As of day 2 of the move, all the china and crystal have been washed and put into the china cabinet; the cable is up and running; and a lot of extra stuff has been put away.
Then there are the cats - yes, we have cats (THREE of them). With every move 2 of the 3 cats are out of their skulls for weeks on end. With this move, only 1 is even slightly bothered. The boys are eating and sleeping on their regular routine even though our move spanned the "Spring forward" time change. With all the good stuff happening, which is a welcome contrast from the last time we moved or closed on our house, I am afraid that something not so great will happen to counter balance it. But, I suppose I can think of all the good stuff as payback for the crappy stuff that's happened in the past year.
This is definitely your year, Irene. Good things are coming your way.

Can I come and touch you or something? I could use some of that luck!
Enjoy the smooth transition and stop waiting for the other shoe to drop already!
