Crazy Busy

Life with a young family and two working parents is always crazy.  That's a normal fact of life at this lifestage.  This is also the reason why moving is so, so, stressful.  Moving is, by nature, always  stressful and overwhelming so why do we always like to take it one step further by doing it with young kids????  WHY???

To recap our moves since becomming parents:

#1:  Move from House #1 to House #2.  Buddy was 10 months old and I was 4.5 months pregnant with Little Man.  We thought it would be a frugal idea to do it ourselves.  By the end of the day I wanted to kill myself.  Really.

#2:  Move from House #2 to Toronto Rental (our current nightmare).  This was easier in the sense we hired movers but was also horrendous.  We doubled our fun bu having two moves.  The first move took half our house to our friends' house to store in their basement and the second moved the balance to our current place.

#3....Impending.  Now we get to move again.  This is the 3rd move in as many years.  And again....we get to do 2 moves in one.  BUT at the end of it we will have all our stuff with us again (yippee)!!!

AND

No Trolls!

AND

Live in a great neighborhood!

AND

Save Money!

Oh, and for the record....

The Trolls were originally asked to leave on December 20th.  That was 4.5 months ago.  They haven't been "able" to secure a suitable place as of yet, apparently.

It took Super Husband and I less than a week to:

a)  Decide to move
b)  Make appointment to view a place
c)  View twice
d)  Submit rental application
e)  Obtain Equifax credit reports
f)  Sign Lease
g)  Obtain legal copies of lease

LESS THAN A WEEK!!!!!

WTF is wrong with those people???

So now we are on to the really fun stuff.  Booking movers, packing, calling insurance, utilities, blah...blah...blah....

That's the stuff I despise.  I am really looking forward to picking up the keys and starting to get set up there.  Here's what I am over-the-top-kid-in-a-candy-store excited about:

* Dishwasher
* Central Air
* Full size washer and dryer
* Two full bathrooms
* Room for everything we own
* The ability to play music, run around, have fun
*  The ability to hang outside (huge yard)!
* No more green bins being attacked by raccoons (we have a garage)

And let's not overlook the obvious....NO TROLLS!  No Drug Busts!  Yahoo!

So, all things considered....the benefit is more than worth the effort in this case :)
