One Week!!!

We're down to one week til closing!  And so, of course, our bank decides to let us know (on Monday) that the VA doesn't like the termite inspection, wants a board repaired and another inspection done, before we can close.  *big sigh*  So... We wait for all of that to come back.  And the bank's supposedly still waiting on the title company to get back to them with figures so they can give us a more accurate closing cost number.  Well, of course this is all happening now!  There's only one week til closing!
Thinking about "all I need to get done" the other day, I realized that next week is going to be uber busy!  My dear "sister" friend is coming in to visit from Ohio from Sunday through Wednesday.  There are two doctor appointments during those days as well.  One for the Daughter's lumpy wrist (it's just a cyst) and one for my old lady hip (more PT).  Then Thursday is closing.  (Huzzah!!!!)  And Friday I leave with my Mum for Florida to visit family and pick up some of her mother's things.  (Granny passed away a year and a half ago. *sad eyes*)  I'll be gone on that trip for just over a week.  So while my family should be moving into our new house in 1 1/2 weeks (sellers are retaining possession for a couple days to move their stuff), I won't get to move in for another 2 1/2 weeks.  *really sad face*  Ah well.  Such is life, no?
Packing up the Cave is coming along nicely!  But I realized yesterday, among my other farm related musings, that I must get everything packed this week!!!  Oh boy.  Good thing I've been working so hard on that for the past week or so!  Let's see...  The kids' rooms are packed except for their "essentials".  Dining room and study are packed.  Every other room in the house?  Half-packed.  I still have pictures on the walls!!!  Not all of them but quite a few.  Honestly, there's a method there.  I'd rather have to take those down on moving day when it's time to load up the pictures and wall hangings than have them laying around or leaning up against a wall and possibly getting damaged.  So there you go.
Well, better get off this thing and get my bum in gear!  Lots to do today!  Have a great day!
