So, we found out yesterday that our movers that we had paid a $3000 deposit to move the house had disappeared.  Their phones are all turned off.  Vix went by the address on the contact yesterday and the house was empty.  One of the neighbors was nice enough to come out and offer Vix some information.  Apparently, sir mover is in jail.  Yes, just my luck.  He's in jail.  DUI.  Great.  That's all I needed.  So, the chances of us getting our deposit back from this guy in time to move the house is none.  His hearing date isn't even until after he was supposed to do the job.  So, I have been on the phone trying to find estimates to get the job done in the same time frame and for a price we can afford.  Some of them want the whole house empty.  Some of them will move the place with the beds and stuff in it.  I'm looking for one of those.  

I've been back in the kids rooms today working on a wiring issue and getting things ready.  I'd like to have that archway totally done and cleaned up by tomorrow afternoon.  That might be a far reaching dream but that's what I'm hoping for.  I got the wood of the archway up today with B's help.  I need to go down there with some big staples and tack the wiring up so I can cover it.  I'm basically dry walling over the top of it.  I really will try to remember to take my camera down there tonight.  I hate to take pictures the way it looks now because it looks so bad.  *giggle*. 

I decided that rather than beating myself up I was going to take one thing at a time.  Right now, I have to get through the baby shower this weekend.  I think I'm pretty set on that with the exception of printing out the games.  Vix and I went shopping this past weekend.  We got red and blue big plates, I got a table center piece and and banner.  We got clear cake plates, cups, and forks.  I got a big blue piggy bank.  I got a red table cloth and napkins (they were out of blue) and balloons.  We got mini egg rolls, little sandwiches, a couple of different dips, the makings of queso, different chips, and stuff for me to make my hot wings.  Plus the cake.  I think we've got more than enough.  I still have to go pick up a big balloon that says "it's a boy" or something like that and I need gifts for the games.  And I have to survive the shower.  Then I can worry about getting the remodel done.  And if it gets to the last week and I'm not done with it - then tough.  Cause at that time I will have to finish the packing.  Right?  Right.

Well, back to the grind.  I have dinner baking in the oven and have time to clean up the mess I made today before it's done.  

Have a great night!
