To Do List for Today

1) Figure out how to clean vomit out a mattress
2) Figure out where to stash child who was going to have a playdate, but will now be moaning quietly in some corner of the house while we move.
3) Load crap into van.
4) Listen to sick child whine.
5) Move furniture into house from apartment.
6) Listen to healthy child whine.
7) Go back to apartment for 12 more runs grabbing those last little things that somehow didn't make it into boxes.
8) Grab lunch from Blue Ribbon for brother-in-law's birthday, which we wouldn't be celebrating at all if it were left up to my deadbeat husband who says things like, "Isn't his helping us move into the house on his birthday present enough?"
9) Clean the apartment.
10) Clean the house.
11) Wash sheets covered in vomit because we'll actually have a dishwasher again.
11b) Realize that it's been so long since I've done laundry that I can't tell a dishwasher from a washer and let Adam do wash.
12) Hope that the cable guy can hook us up otherwise we'll have an ad nauseum repeat of #4 and #6.
13) Clean the house some more.
14) Go to unpack but realize we have no where to put things as furniture doesn't come out of storage until Friday and closets won't be complete until Monday.
15) Try to get kids to sleep in their own new rooms.
16) Take a bubble bath in my new bathtub and have a glass--or five--of wine.
17) Spend the night--all four of us to a double futon mattress--in my and Adam's brand new bedroom.
