Grrrr~

Current mood: frustrated

I am totally frustrated! Plain and simple. This move had so far been going smoothly until... today. Well, I take that back. I have been hounding Patrick the past two weeks about contacting/following up with the relocation department to make sure we have got a date set for them to come and pack us up and move us, etc...he would say he was "working on it"... well, today he followed up and found out that (not his fault) HR lost his relocation paperwork!! Grrrr!!! So... we start from scratch, we wait yet again. This time we will already be gone to PA before FedEx comes to pick up our shit! It will work out I know, but how frustrating it is to feel like it is all under control and BAM- something falls apart.

I am overwhelmed in everything we really need to do around the apartment. There are certain things we need to pack up for the movers, and then there are certain items we need to pack up for our road trip. Now... this road trip will be all four of us, Patrick, me, Ally and Nadia- in the truck, towing my car. So needless to say I need some time to pack appropriately for this trip. We are behind in laundry and the place is a mess! I have been working on a ceramic piece and I need to finish it before this weekend. I called Ally's grandmother today to see if she could pick Ally up from school tomorrow, (so I can get caught up and so they can have Ally time before we leave) and she ALWAYS has some excuse not to. She's tired, or too busy, or she just doesn't want to. What grandparent doesn't want to spend time with their grandchild especially when we are moving away! I think they just have in their heads we are only going to be gone for a little while. It's a permanent move people- not a vacation!Because the other day we called to see if they wanted to meet us for dinner- no they were too tired. Well- i definately understand tired!! We have been trying hard to see people who really could care less to make an effort to see us, and honestly I am exhausted from trying. It is not just with them, it is with some of our friends too, but it really hurts our feelings that they don't make time for us, or make the time to come see us rather. Patrick has a "oh well, fuck it" kind of attitude and I am beginning to feel the same. I think we are just so stressed right now. This to shall pass... the feeling of stress I mean.
