I LOVE Harris Teeter, and I go just about every day. I feel lucky that have two within a mile of me. And I’ve also heard that ad about the 23 boxes of cereal/year. I, just one person, probably eat more than twice that amount in a year . . .if not more!

See, she was waiting all along for the just the right moment, when you REALLY needed it…I knew the Bee had it in her. ; ) Missing you, friend!

Oh, you must not have spoken to Lisa Nelson lately, as I answer 500 questions like this each day from her. & she is 40!

I am dying laughing at your blog.

Meghan! I love this. I followed the link you posted on FB, and I look forward to reading your other blog posts. With regard to kids asking questions, my mom once answered a question of mine with a response, as an adult, that I love. She had a book, I think written by Erma Bombeck, titled, “Motherhood: The World’s Second-Oldest Profession.” When I was 10 or so, I asked, “But, Mom, what’s the world’s oldest profession?” She answered, “Ask me again when you’re 18, and I’ll answer you then if you don’t already know.” I never had to ask the question again . . .

This was priceless. Glad you (barely) survived your move and thanks for sharing your highly entertaining story with us!

Loved the part about the shoes in the closet. Saying “good-bye,” not saying “good-bye”…doesn’t matter. 19 years later, I still dream about spending the weekend in our Rhode Island house while the owners are away. Reading these blogs has reminded me of our move from that house. But you need to add in a husband who had emergency hernia surgery 6 weeks before the move (thereby precluding him from doing any pre-packing). Or how about the police showing up when the children are playing Red Rover in the backyard as part of their going-away party because the neighbor complained about the noise – at 7:30 on a June evening! Bob left earlier that I did, taking 3 of the kids. Andrew and I were in the station wagon with all the hazardous materials the movers wouldn’t take. I had to drive with the windows partially open to avoid the fumes (or at least I thought there were fumes). I was so exhausted I should have spent the night at a motel along the road, but I was afraid I would fall so soundly asleep that I would be late to the closing the next day. I still don’t know how I managed to stay awake for the 3 hour drive. We were also short movers, who called the next morning when they were 2 hours late arriving at our new house to ask for directions. How the heck do I know? It’s my first day in a new town/state! Glad you are safely in Temporary Home #1 and I’ll add prayers that you get to skip right to Permanent Home without stopping at Temporary Home #2.

Makes me teary eyed too! I had a breakdown the night before we left our house thinking of all things that had happened there, kids growing up, babies being born….I’m going to actually cry now so I’ll stop.
