Back, and Alive, But not Kicken.

We are back. And we are alive. And I feel half dead. hehehehe

Wednesday--Got up to 5 inches of snow on the ground and roads. Did 35mph with 4 wheel drive on for 50 miles. Was able to get up to 50mph for 70 miles. Dropped back down to 35 with 4 wheel on for another 68 miles or so. Then it was like "poof" no snow no ice no where. Made up some time the rest of the way. Got there in 9 hours. Got to dads, rested for a half hour or so. Immediately start packing up his trailer. Pack till about 6, then go eat. Felt like we were dying at about 8:30 was so tired. Tripped and fell down dad's steps, wrenched the back of left knee major bad. Drove all the way out to the guys place we were staying at, and he wasn't there. he was supposed to be there by 7. Waited around till 9. Yelled at Gigantor, "fuck it we are going to a motel, I'm dead ass tired" and went to leave. Guy showed up. Guy wanted to talk for another hour or so, and give tour of house. I Was rude, went and put kiddo to bed, and fell asleep on chair until Gigantor decided to come to bed. (we all slept in one room, me on the dinky bed, and Gigantor and Kiddo on the floor in sleeping bags).

Thursday--Woke up early, guy was gone to work. Took showers, went to dads. He had unpacked all that we packed. Said he was looking for something. Packed that back up. Went to breakfast. Went to bank, ins place, post office, Ace hardware, walmart, to wash suburban (all the mud from snow and ice roads), to grab lunch, back to dads. Ate, and started packing again. Friend of mine came over with son to chat for a few and say hi. Guy showed up, showed Gigantor what he had to do to unhook all utilities for the trailer (guy helped set it up). Took Guy out to dad's storage shed, went through lots of stuff. Decided it would all fit in suburban and tracker and trailer. Back to dads, more packing. Dad and Gigantor went to walmart for things forgot yesterday. Kiddo and me stayed, babied my sore knee. Boys back from walmart, bought bunji cords, started bunji ing cubbors shut that were packed up. Went to dinner, back to dads. Tore down table, made it and benches flush (travel trailer remember). Started stacking packed stuff neatly on top. 10:30 announce if we wait any longer I'll be to tired to drive those few miles out to guys place. Leave, get to guys, he's in bed. It's late. Get kiddo and ourselves in bed.

Friday--Get up drive to dads. Find all the stuff we packed on the table benches, in the living room, and bench storage opened and stuff scattered. Helped him find what he was looking for, re packed, put back together, moved boxes back. Found all cupboards un bunjied and gone through. Re packed and bunjied. Went to breakfast. Went back to dads. Loaded all 4 million cinder blockes he wanted to keep and transport up there. (my ass) Went to storage shed, went through everything. Loaded what he wanted to give to guy and trash up. Went out to guys, unloaded suburban, left him the 4 million cinder blocks to build a bbq pit he wanted too. Told dad, it would be cheaper to buy more cinder blocks then to haul the son of a bitches. Went back to storage shed, packed everything up in suburban. Went to dads. Loaded his tracker with 1/2 of storage shed stuff. Put a few things in front yard till in the morning. Dad and Gigantor went to get some lunch, while I iced me knee, and repacked the three cupboards dad unpacked just a few minutes before. Ate lunch. Went to visit the friend I had seen to see her house and other kid. Dad stayed, waited for propane guy to come take giant tank. Gone about an hour. Back to dads. Re packed cupboards for 5 thousandth time. Table and bench area big mess, dad went through everything again. Finally had had it. Yelled at dad to knock it off, nothing couldn't wait till when we got up here for one more day. Worked on defrosting fridge and freezer. Gigantor and dad back to walmart, for more stuff. Kiddo lugged in giant ice chest, and helped me bubble wrap dishes and pack in ice chest. Straightened bench seat/table area. Informed everyone when they got back, that it better be the last time I have to repack and bunjie the cupboards and straighten that area for hauling. Get suitcases out for him to pack some clothes for here. (he has to stay at my house for about a week or so till we get his trailer all hooked up, and utilities on). Went to dinner. Back and went through locked box we found in storage shed. Found grandma's coin and money collection that everyone thought was stolen. Found some canadian and us paper money dated from 1920 to 1933. Need to find out what that's worth. Found some confederate money. Found tons of coins. Mostly silver dollars. Most dating from 1881 to 1909. Decided to put box away and go back out to guys to get some sleep. Dad gets out his three lock boxes and starts going through them and reminiscing. Dad has door blocked off. Finally tell dad to let us out, so we can go to bed. Get out to guys at 11. Put Kiddo to bed. Visit for an hour or so. Go take showers, and get in bed about 1. Alarm goes off 4:30. Start packing all our stuff up. Leave guys at about 5:45. Get to dads, re pack some stuff. While I'm doing that, Gigantor starts unhooking utilities. Turn off sewer and water. I have to pee. Dad drives me to convenience store. After using potty and getting munchies for trip. Find out back of tracker is open. Gigantor was in it for tools, we drove up town with it open. Lost my pillows. Back to dads, Gigantor not finished yet. Broke crank on tongue of trailer. Have to use a screw driver and takes almost an hour to get that post thing up far enough to drive with it. Get everything locked up. Gigantor drives it for about 5 miles so I can get the feel of it. Pulls off. I drive it for the next 11 hours and 52 minutes. We pulled into my place at almost 9. Parked trailer on street, got pizza, ate, and went to bed. Got up today, and did a few things. Got the trailer unhooked, but not much else. I'm back in my arm brace, cuz fighting that trailer all day yesterday, hurt me. And I'm having a hard time with my knee. But all in all, it's all good.

Hope to catch up with you all soon.

I don't know what it is with dad needing to unpack everything over and over. He kept doing that to me when I moved him into the smaller trailor. Good lord I couldv'e killed him dead. :-)

(((Burfica))) welcome home!!! I bet you're glad that's all over with! At least you know that you won't have to help your dad unpack everything! ;-) He's pretty good at it already!

BTW, I haven't heard too many stories about Gigantor being clumsy.. have you taken over for him???

WOW! Busy, Busy, Busy! You have more patience than I - I'd have hurt my dad after the 2nd round of unpacking stuff. Glad everyone is home safe. Take care of that knee.
