update

Exhaustion...that is all I'm feeling at the moment. We...or should I say I packed up the rest of the house and moved it to my In-Laws house Thursday. Friday the movers arrived to carry our furniture and major appliances to our new house. I cleaned our old house for the new buyer. I have never been so tired.

Caleb is doing great. He is on cloud nine to be with Mere Mere. Kinley hasn't missed a beat. Cohen and Zoe on the other hand, are not fine. Zoe has cried and whined and paced the entire time. Judie let her inside, where she has been ever since. She seems better when she is near us. She just lays on the floor and twitches. I think her arthritis is flaring up.

Cohen is terrible. He is throwing things and crying at the drop of a hat. He is not listening. I feel so bad for him. All you could hear this weekend was "COHEN!!" "COHEN PARKER NO!!" I know he is just acting out because things are different and he doesn't understand but ....come on! Last night when I put him to bed he looked up at me with those BIG BLUE EYES and said "Mommy...HOME!" Oh, my heart sank to my feet! I could feel the tears well up in my eyes. I just gave him a big hug and a kiss and told him we have a new home and we get to move there soon. Geez, this Mothering business is soooo hard sometimes!

To top all this off, he starts Trinity on Wednesday. I'm so afraid taking him away from the routine of his home and 'Mrs. Angie' is really going to take him for a spin. He seemed so happy when I dropped him off there this morning. I drove the long way deliberately so we wouldn't have to drive by our old house. I did drive by afterward and let me tell you...it was hard. Different cars in the drive which seemed.... wrong, so I know he wouldn't deal with it well. I never would have thought this would be so hard for him. My poor sugar baby.

It really has been fine though! They are a big help. Especially since Cohen has gone hog wild. The only hard part is the bathroom. They are having one remodeled so we all have to share the guest bath. The other hard thing is...I don't really know how to explain it but just...I feel like I need to apologize to Judie for the messes and the yelling and Cohen's behavior. I am in her house and it has been turned upside down! She seems fine....although she has had TWO mudslides since we've been there. I must admit....I'm jealous. Ooops. Nursing Kinley hasn't been a big deal like I though it would be. She is pretty much a pro and they really don't notice. I do go to the room sometimes but I don't want to leave the boys alone that long so I do it on the couch some too. All in all it's been ok and I'm so thankful for that. Now ask me again in a few days. I just don't want to drive them crazy with my kids and their messes!
