"Overwhelmed!"

Keeping the old house at tip top shape so it will sell, while packing to move is proving to be a rough task.  Add to that the massive project of getting the other house ready for us to move in; which entails ripping out carpet, washing walls, windows, light fixtures, vents, blinds, cupboards, etc, sealing the floors and some walls with a post-pet sealant, painting walls and baseboards, carpeting, and hanging doors.  All the while Darryl is traveling a lot and the "spouse trip" I've been suppose to take with him but had to cancel when my dad passed away, and when Cole was sick with what we think was whooping cough, is also this week!  To say the least we've been feeling incredibly overwhelmed.  We even hired a guy from work's sister to come help us clean because we realized it was more than we could do.  Then today our awesome friends, Chris and Becky Goode, showed up unannounced and completely unexpextedly with a huge spread of snacks and food.  They sat it all down and said, "Becky's mom is watching the kids all day for us.  What can we do."  That made such a huge impact on Darryl and I.  They are SO self-less.  I hope to be more like them.  But more than that it was really what we needed at a time when we just didn't know what to do because we were in over our heads.  They helped us get back on top of it all and so we didn't feel like we were drowning anymore.  So SO grateful for them.
