Movers.........Need I Say More!

So the movers arrived yesterday and actually did a really awesome job at getting the house boxed up. They did arrive with the big boss man though as it appears that none of them have driver's licenses and no drivers had shown up for work that morning. Made for a lot getting achieved in one day though and I was really pleased with how fast and how thoroughly they wrapped and boxed everything. There were 5 of them total and they really knocked it out. The big boss man told us at the end of the day that the plan for today was for them to finish the little bit that still needed to be boxed, and to start loading the boxes into the crates on the truck. Imagine my surprise then when the movers showed up this morning and there were only 2 of them, and they arrived in an old beat up Accord. It appears that no driver showed up again today (is it just me or would you be firing and rehiring drivers that actually wanted to show up, especially in this economy, just a suggestion to the big boss man) so these 2 poor fellas loaded up their little Accord with as much packing paper as they could possibly fit in and are just going to get as much wrapped up as they can. I'm thinking that this means that tomorrow is going to be a REALLY chaotic day as now, they are going to have to finish boxing, wrapping, and physically moving every belonging we have into the truck, all in one day. Add onto that the fact that they have forecasted 80% chance of severe thunderstorms for tomorrow morning and I start to get a little nervous about the outcome of all of this! To end on a happy note.........not only do I still have a couch and chairs to sit on and a tv still to watch tonight, I also have my own bed to sleep in for another night, and for that I am thankful :-)

  1. Heather,

    Honey...you are right! It does seem like there would be people - who can actually drive one of those bad boys - who would want to be employed and want to keep a job in this economy! Thank goodness, though, for the two fellas in the Accord! :)

    Heather, your wonderful attitude and humor will help get you through these exasperating and trying days that come. Just keep thinking....., "This is an adventure and each day is a memory in the making. AND, we are headed for Alaska, baby!!!" :):)

    Love you and wish I were there to help pack a box or two...or at least sit on your sofa with you tonight eating popcorn and watching t.v.!

    Our prayers and love for you, John and the children, Aunt Debbie

  2. I agree with Aunt Debbie --- you have a GREAT attitude (and you're really funny!). You posted this several days ago and I'm wondering how your weekend went (are you still in Texas, or on the road by now??).

    Can't wait for the next installment! Love to all, Aunt Nancy
