I finished the whole upstairs unpacking today--it looks great! Nevermind the downstairs, that's for the next four days. It feels so nice up there--so peaceful. We had our FHE on "peace" tonight, inspired by a quote from our Sacrament meeting speaker yesterday, "Peace cannot be imposed, but is a direct result of righteousness." Dang, we were trying hard to impose peace by martial law.
And, best of all, thanks to our nightly baby torture routine for two nights, night three (last night) was the FIRST night EVER that Lucy slept through the night. Yes, she is 21 months old. We're trying one more night to be sure, then she moves in with her sister. My sanity will be saved after all. She slept until 10:30 (granted, we didn't put her down until 10, since we're all off due to daylight savings and moving a time zone in just a few weeks). She was SO happy today--more upbeat than I've ever seen her! I think getting a full night of uninterupted sleep, even though it was against her will initially, will be helpful to her.
I didn't even go outside today, just trying to get the house in order. But I did inventory my seeds and learned that I have a TON of what I need (thanks to Ted Gooding, always giving out free seeds). I have lots of cool-crop seeds ready to go in as soon as I get the ground tilled, which hopefully will be next week.
My friend Elaine is doing chickens with us. She has ordered the chicks and will get them to 4 weeks before moving them to our pasture--around May 15th. The workload will really be gearing up about then.
