The past couple weeks have been tough. Living off take out/fast food and 2 Aerobeds and a Playpen as furniture - not fun. These are some of the highlights from our life the past couple weeks, as we prepare to leave the country.
We had the following conversation maybe 10 times:
Coleen: Do we really need this? Should I pack it?
Melvin: Yes
Coleen: But we haven't used it since we got it. I forgot we even had it.
Melvin: I know, but we might need it
Coleen: I'm not packing it
Melvin: Okay
We had the following conversation maybe 20 times:
Melvin: What do you want to eat?
Coleen: I don't know, what do you want?
Melvin: I don't care
Coleen: Neither do I, just pick something
(mind you, delivery in the suburbs consists of chinese or pizza)
Questions from Julian:
Where's my stool?
Where's my bed?
Where's my bed?
Where's my train table?
Me on the phone with Dry Ice, Corp:
Coleen: Hi, do I need to reserve some dry ice to be picked up?
Man: No, we don't reserve, but what is it for?
Coleen: I have to check-in my breast milk on a flight out to Vancouver
Man: Well, how much do you need?
Coleen: Well, I don't know, I have about 50 ounces in bags. (awkward)
Man: Are you sure the airlines will take it? We sell a minimum of 10lbs
Coleen: Yes, I've confirmed about 3 times already
Man: Well, sometimes we have it in stock, sometimes we don't
Coleen: Well, I really need it or my supply will be ruined (sweat is running down my forehead)
Man: Well, come by tomorrow, you should be fine
Coleen: Okay, thank you (UGH, they better have it!!)
Here's another one:
Melvin: How am I going to work without my desk and our kitchen table?
Coleen: Let's pull in the patio furniture!
Coleen: Let's pull in the patio furniture!
Melvin: Good idea!
All of us, including Julian, everyday after we pulled it in: DAMN ANTS!!
