Moving Van Day

It's been a long day of packing, loading and emotions.  The highlights and lowlights - the movers charging us extra (including $100 for tape), spending an afternoon with wonderful friends, stopping to put out a grass fire on the way home from picking up the kids, a teen filled with testosterone, a mouse running between one of the kids' feet at bedtime, and then getting to sleep on an air mattress because the movers were so late getting done we couldn't leave like we wanted to.  We will see what the first day of travel unfolds for us.  Right now, I'm ready to attempt sleeping on the air mattress and praying my back doesn't give out because of it.
