We haven't had any adventures in a few days because we've been moving, which is an adventure of it's own. Thursday morning we got up and Tot was sick as a dog. I ended up spending a lot of the morning cleaning up various bodily fluids. But then she laid down on a pile of blankets in the nearly empty living room and fell asleep. And that's where she stayed for most of the day. I felt bad for her, but it did make it easier on everyone else to have her just lay there and sleep. She wasn't getting antsy because she was bored, she wasn't trying to help and undoing hours of work all in one fell swoop, etc. We finally left at around 8:30 that evening. Brother was instantly asleep in his car seat, but Tot, who'd slept all day, was wide awake. She finally slept for about 3 hours from 9:30 until 12:30 but other than that, she stayed up and kept Mommy company until we got to our new place at 2:30 am. We went inside, slept a bit, and then the movers came to unload our truck at about 8. Tot did better than I had expected. We had to stay and open the door every time someone needed to come in. If we tried to prop it open, the alarm went off. (Sigh...) So we sat there for 4 hours and opened the door over and over again.
Saturday morning we got up early and drove back to Asheville. Since Daddy drove the moving truck to Chapel Hill, we needed to get his car and bring it back and we had a little birthday party for Brother with our friends. It was a great day. Then we got in the car and drove back to our new home. It really wasn't until the next day that it started to sink in. We have a new home, in a new city, where we know no one. It's kind of intimidating, but it'll be an adventure for all of us to enjoy together!
