Blessings

I feel so lucky right now and blessed. This move has just been kind of a whirlwind thing. The house we found had just been put on the board and we were able to get it. I was begining to stress out about if we were going to be able to find a house close to the girl's school. Life is crazy with 4 kids...2 of them being 18 months and 7 weeks so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get our stuff packed in time and be able to move things...we sign our new lease on the 1st of April and we have to be out of this house by the 14th. Then there was the cleaning and yard work and all that. Well, we found movers who are packing and moving all our stuff for a VERY reasonable price. Today I was talking to my cleaners about scheduling a move out clean and can I just say I have the two nicest and sweetest cleaners ever! They are always so sweet to me and my family for holidays and for my kid's births (they always give the nicest gifts) and now they are doing this favor me. The carpet cleaner guy I always get is giving me the price he always gives me even though he's covering more carpet and so I'm spending less than I imagined on this move out. (I do usually clean the house but I just don't have enough time or energy.) Our deposit, even if the landlord takes some out will still cover this move. Then I've had volunteers to help watch kids or do whatever which has been so nice. I don't like accepting help (it's the Trapp in me) but it has been so nice to have all these special people in my life and I just feel so blessed especially since I've been feeling SO overwhelmed. My house has been a mess (ok, so to my standards), I don't always have dinner planned like how I like and my family has been more than willing to help out or even better, just look away and wait patiently until I get to it. I feel since things are running so smoothly even though at the moment I'm stressing out, things are falling into place and our prayers were answered and I am doing the right thing staying here. Perhaps some day soon I feel on top of things once again....then again...maybe not.
