I hate last minute "Change of Plans"

Life is full of challenges and unplanned collisions of circumstances. For example: My challenge lately has been relocating from one house to another while desperately missing Eric who was in Ireland all month. Now that the "Moving week" is here he is is Atlanta and Chicago for some interviews at job fairs. Throw in the 2 toddlers who are super desperately missing their daddy and you get a big challenge, yes? So the unplanned collision of circumstances? We were planning to pick up a u-haul truck Friday night, pack up early Saturday morning after Eric is home and unlaod all our stuff at the new place late afternoon. You ready for the collision? There is a HUGE city event all day Saturday - a major cycling race! The finish line is basically my front yard! This means NO DRIVING and NO PARKING on the road where my house is!


I juggled with the decision to be made- move Friday night, or change reservations with a possible increase in fees and move Saturday night. The races are supposed to be done around 6 PM. So I called U-Haul and they said it didn't matter when we picked up the truck so I decided Saturday night.


This actually all works out great! We have a family in the ward that is moving accross town and another family moving into the ward, both in the morning. Now Eric can help out where he can in the morning and hopefully everyone else won't be to tired and will help us move in the evening. Now if I can just get everything packed up and cleaned before everything goes crazy again!!!!!!!!!!
