Well, we've completely lost it

So, in case our lives weren't crazy enough, we decided to list our house for sale in September.  Our house was located on the corner of a relatively busy street, and we'd been concerned for some time about the safety of our boys.  Plus, the layout was not great (laundry in the basement, two story, no master bath, one car garage.)  We considered waiting, but recognized that life is not going to get any easier as the babies get older.  Showing the house was a bit of a nightmare.  Have you ever tried keeping a house clean with a four kids four and under?  Plus, showings always seemed to be during naptimes or mealtimes-yuck!  Fortunately we got a contract on the house at the end of November and then the real fun began!  Have you ever tried PACKING with four kids four and under?  This is pretty much the progress I made:  two kids in boxes that I had just filled with stuff 

 

My parents came over the first week or so and helped finish packing up the kitchen and stuff I was anal about.  Then, the boys and I went and lived with them for a week, before coming back for closing (we stayed with Ethan's parents) and then back to my parents for Christmas.  Right now we're staying at Megan's house while we move into the rental in Greeley.  To say the least, I've had it with living out of suitcases.  I'm ready to have my own space again-but feel discouraged because I know we have to move one more time into our real house.  I know it will be worth it in the end but what a hassle!  We are praying that the most perfect house shows up here soon and we can become more permanantly settled.  I am thankful that so far the boys have handled the transition well (except for some meltdowns at preschool) and that Ethan and I are still friends!
