Life On The Move

Things are a little hectic in the Stek household this month. We are getting ready for the big move this Thursday and Friday, the jeep has broken down (sob) and Ian and I are both struggling. Ian has been misbehaving since the first box came out. We are both (Aaron and I) trying to be understanding of the fear and insecurity the move is causing in him but at the same time trying to keep his behavior in line. It's exhausting. Nothing is accomplished without a tantrum or maybe I should say nothing that involves a change. It seems that he is trying to balance the insecurity of the move by not allowing any other change to happen in his life. This includes taking on or off of any article of clothing, changing of diapers, going outside or inside, not being able to take the jeep, not being able to take the wagon, etc. You probably have the picture.

I'm just struggling for the obvious reason of being a bit prego. Which makes me unable to do some of the things I want to do - like packing and cleaning. Oh, I do a bit, but I am having to let Aaron do the majority of the work. Which involves me letting go of control and letting others help me and all sorts of other things that this very independent lady doesn't like to do. So sometimes I get a little cranky which combined with Ian (see first paragraph) isn't always a good scene. We are managing though, and it will all be over soon. I can't wait to have a dishwasher!
