Comments on: Because Moving Five Kids Across the Country Isn’t Excitement Enough http://melissawiley.com/blog/2006/09/29/because-moving-five-kids-across-the-country-isnt-excitement-enough/ Children's Book Author Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:58:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Paula T http://melissawiley.com/blog/2006/09/29/because-moving-five-kids-across-the-country-isnt-excitement-enough/#comment-2609 Paula T Mon, 02 Oct 2006 14:19:47 +0000 http://72.29.64.190/~mwiley/blog/2006/09/29/because-moving-five-kids-across-the-country-isnt-excitement-enough/#comment-2609 Your post brought back memories I was trying to repress! A little while back, I fell, too. I was dropping my car off at the garage down the street from my office. I was walking towards the door to give them my key and - BAM - I'm on the ground. I was supposed to walk to work after, but was so upset (actually, embarassed and mortified, plus my knee really hurt) that I called DH. He picked me up and dropped me off at work after dropping DS at school. I honestly couldn't tell you when the last time I feel before that had been. I can, however, tell you when the next time was. Same day. I'm walking up the driveway from my office to pick up my now-repaired car on my lunch break. AGAIN - I fall for NO REASON. Didn't trip or anything, just ended up totally sprawled out on the pavement. Of course, it's lunch time, so there's a whole line of cars waiting to turn on the road there to see me. You know, not one person rolled down their window and asked if I was OK? Your post brought back memories I was trying to repress! A little while back, I fell, too.

You were even before all of this . . . but when I came in the door yesterday morning, knowing full well all the details of your madness this weekend and asked "how's it going?" . . . you greet me with a big grin and "Great"! Great?! WOW! Either you have finally lost it or you are AMAZING!!! You are amazing. Your sense of humor never lets either of us down. I'm so grateful for you! You are my hero, Lissa!

We don't want any inflammation interfering with the remainder of your packing (and oh, yeah, your MOBLOGGING)! NO, but seriously, hope you feel better.

Our last move we let the movers pack everything and we just found a whole bunch of wedding present-type knicknacks in a box of bathroom items. I guess they thought we needed a little man and wife statuette near the medicine cabinet??? Hope the knee and the wrist get better! LOL I can empathize about packing for the packers.
