Moving! We're in our new house now. Moving with kids is tough. Moving the week before your first release candiate for a high profile project is even tougher. My office is a rats nest of cables and totally disorganized since the kids tore it apart while I was at work today.
The saddest part is that Hudson doesn't think of this as home yet. He keeps asking to "go to the old house." He's a little freaked out and emotional about it, but he's hanging in there.
We also traded in our cars for a minivan. I'm fine with the minivan, that's no problem. But since I needed a car to get to work, we took ownership of my grandparent's 1990 Corolla, with disabled person plates and everything (yes I'm ordering replacements and no I wouldn't dream of actually parking in a disabled spot). That's the decidedly less sexy part about trading in our cars, but it just didn't make sense to carry a big payment on a car that only went 100 miles a week.
It truthfully all seems pretty petty in comparison to what's going on in New Orleans. Work projects, moving, iPod announcements...who cares? It just sort of feels like going through the motions a little bit.
