The packers are coming next Wednesday and Thursday, and the movers will be carting everything away on Friday. Yes, that's next week. And we found out yesterday afternoon. To add some excitement to the mix, Trev has to work this weekend, and will only be able to get here next Thursday. Needless to say, there's a lot to do and not much time to do it in.
On the plus side, we'll be in our new home very soon - I'm so excited about finally seeing the inside! We'll be leaving a bunch of our furniture here to furnish the downstairs suite, so we'll be getting new living room furniture and a dining room set...likely at IKEA. Love that place.
Still no condo for Mom, so to prevent Zoe from having to stay in a kennel for weeks, and to avoid being bored and living in our spare room for weeks, Mom will be staying up here for a while. Her stuff will travel via the movers with ours, but since the basement suite is going to be furnished, she doesn't need much other than a suitcase of clothes. Once we have papers signed for a condo purchase, she'll look at picking a date to come down to Calgary.
It's been very warm these last few days, and there's no air-conditioning. The kids are hot, cranky, and confused by all the moving preparations. I'll be glad when we can leave for Calgary (the new house has air-conditioning too!).
