I guess I'll get some decluttering done now ...
We're moving
Another step down in the world. Dh got in an arguement with the landlord and told him we'd be out by the end of the month. We'll be moving into mil's house. She has an apartment in another town. On the plus side, no carpet to vacuum and a dishwasher.

I don't know whether to celebrate the dishwasher with you or cry because you have to move.

It's times like these I try to remember everything happens for a reason. I'll be thinking about you.

It's not as bad as it seems. The house isn't really any worse than what we're in now and it will be less expensive. The babies' room turned out so cute, though.
The living room is a little smaller, but doesn't have doors in the middle of 3 of the walls, so I'll be able to arrange the furniture better. The dining room is big and has sliding glass doors out onto a large, covered deck. The kitchen is bigger, has more cupboard and counter space, plus the dishwasher. The bathroom is bigger and has TONS of cupboard space. Mil also had a sewing room. Dh hooked up the washer and dryer in there for her. Dh has a friend that will be able to figure out how to fit the washer/dryer in there along with my computer and sewing desks.
The upstairs hasn't been used for years. The wallpaper is old and peeling. The floors are covered with that old, funny linoleum. The lights don't work and there is no heat up there, except in the room the little ones will go in. Our room will be about the same size. Ds#1's room will be a little smaller, but it's a really cool room. The babies' room will be much bigger and could easily be divided when they get older. There is no carpet in this house anywhere.
We're just going to do some paint and dh will re-wire the upstairs. There are some other repairs to be done as well. Will you guys come help me move?
