What a week! Monday we took Matthew's parents to the airport and then spent the whole night seperating household goods from storage items, from unaccompanied baggage, from stuff we are going carry with us. Tuesday came with TWO movers showing up. They took one look around and said, we need more people! The moving company never sent anyone out to look at our household goods and now the movers were starting to flip out. Not what I needed. After taking yet another load to Goodwill, Matthew and I stayed up until after midnight packing, just to help out. Wednesday, they sent four people and put in a request for another day. Meanwhile, I had a IEP meeting for Ian. They proceeded to tell me that his cognitive and speech were that of a 16 month old. That is a deficit of 16 months. Not what a parent ever wants to hear. Now it is Thursday, we have the movers coming to finish household goods and the storage company coming. After today, we are going to be sleeping on borrowed air mattresses. The AF only allows fives days in TLF and will not pay for any more. After the 14th, when unaccompanied baggage goes, we will be in this house will no sheets, towels, dishes, plates, etc. We are scheduled to leave the 26th.
BUT, in this madness, we have some very good news. We got an offer on the house!!!! The inspected tried coming on Tuesday, but was unable to finish because of the mass chaos everywhere. We had to throw in all the appliances and the car, but that is better than the alternative. It is truly a miracle considering the timing. We are so grateful!!!
