Well as I said last post - things have gotten hectic again.. and just keep getting busier.  We have found a house that is big enough for us and all of our stuff and we all like, in the school zone we need to be in before August 2012.  So - to avoid losing it and not finding something else in time - we have decided to take it.  Problem is no one wants to "hold" a house off a market for more then a few weeks nowadays - so.. moving time it is.  Last night husband and I went to the storage unit and organized it so we can put some things in there that we dont need anymore - but dont want to get rid of (keepsakes etc) as well as a bunch of my mothers things that were here in the house.  We also did the application for the house the other day and the landlord approved us - so today I went down there to start the lease stuff up.  I was told that would be completed and ready for signing by Tuesday 4/10/12.  At that point we have to put down 1 mo rent for them to hold it just until April 27 - which is husbands next check.  After doing that I came home and started bring in the empty boxes I have been collecting from stores for awhile now into the house and got cracking on some basic packing.  Husband and I went thru the boxes we brought back from storage last night and then he got down all the "decorations" around the house (pictures / nic naks etc) and I got it all packed.  Except for actual furniture (which doesnt get "packed")  I have completed the formal dining room, the family room, the eat-in kitchen area and the exercise rooms.  I got all the decorations packed from all over the house as well.  My daughter got a few boxes done from her room and my son got a couple bags of give-away stuff bagged from his room.  So all in all - a productive day.  My stomach hurts a little tonight.  The Dr said I could lift a little now- but I think I over-did it.  Tomorrow is regular household weekly maintenance - ie laundry, ironing, floors etc.  So doubt any packing will get done and Sunday is of course Easter - and in-laws are coming for dinner - so nothing done that day.  And - my week starts in real full blast on Monday as even husband goes back to work.  I have to get daughter to school & husband off to work - then sort son out and him off to school, two dr appts, then a bunch of phone calls that need to happen, then daughter picked up @ 3:30, son home @ 4:30, husband home @ 5 - dinner, then daughter has appt @ 8p.  So... from 6a - 9:30-10p I will be pretty much non-stop.  O my my my. Reminder*** I HATE Mondays!! lol
Next chance I am going to get to pack anything wont be until Tuesday now.  But I plan to have all three bathroom "extra stuff" packed that day and get some things packed from kitchen that I wont need.  Hardest "room" will be garage.  It is STUFFED with a ton of CRAP! lol  Thats gonna be a weekend all by itself.
O well - enough about that.  My "glue" is almost all off and my incisions look really good.  
Still having a hard time getting the three full meals, 1 snack and 1 shake all in - so not hungry and the gag issue I have in the morning hasnt gone away.  The Drs nurse suggested I drink a cup of ginger tea in am and that might settle my pouch so I can eat breakfast - problem is I cant find ginger tea in decaf - which I still have two more weeks of having to drink decaf.  So this morning I figured I would just try a cup of tea - but I was going thru boxes etc and lost track of time (since I dont get hungry to remind me lol) - so .. tea idea actually hurt me this am - cause I didnt even get the shake in.  Threw me totally off for today.  As of right now (10p EST) - I have only had 44 grams of protein - so not good!  I am going to force myself to stay up and have a shake so I get within my necessary amts - but Im already tired.. gotta get a better schedule for all this.
Well - Im off for now.. talk more later.
Hugs & prayers
Liz
