Day Two of the Move-In

This morning, I headed over and did as much of the cleaning of the kitchen and the cabinets as I could accomplish. My ayi came directly to our new house and helped while Dustin played with the boys outside. The man arrived to put our furniture together, and finally our landlord, our agent and one of the workers here at our new community arrived. The man working on the furniture worked steadily from the time he arrived until 12:30 to put the sofas, chairs and Danny's bed together. Our landlord walked around with our agent and the worker, working on the things we had specified the day before. Much of this was not actually fixing it, but rather discussing the issue and to me felt like renegotiating whether it was going to be done. The funniest moment was when the worker was actually fixing the light in our upstairs hall bath. He was almost done and was working with the lightbulb and then going to put on the cover when the landlord begins flipping the light switch up and down. I thought she is either definitely crazy or just does not care or think of others at all (probably the latter one). I am shocked the worker did not tell her to quit it, or worse.

We got a fair amount done before lunch, and decided to head back to the apartment for the boys to nap. Dustin had to leave for a meeting at 3:30 and would be gone for dinner. I was so incredibly grateful that my friends were bringing us dinner. It was great to head to the house and not have to think about what we would eat.

As the boys slept, I tried to get things organized for the movers to come in the morning. We then just relaxed before the big move.
