HollyDay Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 it is so hot. I cannot recall a hotter summer ever (probably has been, but this one just seems awful!) And moving on top of it just makes the heat worse. And for the first time in almost 20 years, we have a 2 story. It is not as easy bounding up and down stairs with laundry as it was 20 years ago. My whine is over now, pass the chocolate and a cold drink....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CariS Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I agree! I've done it a couple of times, and I'll be doing it in 6 weeks. ~Cari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaMcC Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yep, and we are moving in two weeks... the heat of summer to the maximum. We are moving from a two story house to a 3 story 1/2 duplex. And the duplex doesn't have A/C yet :crying:. Hopefully it will be cooler in PA than in IL :glare:. But I am excited about the move... exhausted already, but excited. I have Vietnam Vets scheduled to do a pickup this Tuesday. Educational books going to library this week. Big stuff that VV won't take... going to Goodwill. Bunch of stuff that is in really good shape (kids stuff) I am taking to a kids used store to see if I can get enough credit to buy clothes that Ds#2 and Ds#3 will need. It looks like in the ps schools they will attend, there is a uniform dress code. So 90% of the clothes they have won't do. I am feeling so good about getting rid of stuff. Spent 10 hours in Ds#2 and Ds#3 bedroom the other day. I have about half the house packed. Rest is pretty much needing to wait until nearly last minute (current school stuff the kids are using, kitchen stuff, bathroom stuff, and of course summer clothes).

smillard00 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 This is the first summer in 4 years that we haven't been moving. I don't envy you at all. In '08 we were coming back down south from Wisconsin. Our poor movers didn't know what hit them. They pulled up at 7:30am and it was in the mid 80s and climbing. When they were loading us the week before, I remember having to rummage for a light sweater because it was a cool day. Those poor guys... Good luck and stay hydrated!

********* Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yep, it's not so fun at our house right now, either. :glare: We're moving two weeks from yesterday. The highs every day until we move are crazy; mostly at least 90. And in Michigan, it is NOT a dry heat, LOL. Oh, and the house we're currently packing up and moving out of? Yeah, it doesn't have central air. :001_huh: But, I look at it this way; in just 13 more days, I'll have both central air AND a working dishwasher! Yay! That is, of course, if I actually survive packing and moving in this heat... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It seems like we only ever move at the height of summer. :glare: I'd give you a virtual hug, but this summer has been so hot that if dh even pats my back in a/c, I glare at him & ask why he's mad. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We will start our moving process on Monday--with the week of record high heat and humidities. We do though have a lot of time to make the move. Downside---new house does not have AC (yet) and we have to have 4 acres of land cleared for pasture and get a barn put up in this heat. I think that dh will vote for getting the AC and THEN stripping wall paper, painting, laying new floors, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenangelcat Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Last July I moved while 36 weeks pregnant. It was a 5 day trip with 2 grumpy kids in the van. It wasn't particularly pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon H in IL Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We have a rule: Moving Day must be on the hottest day of summer. :glare: That's one more reason why DH knows he must never ask me to move again. Even though we live in Illinois, which is one of the few states I swore I'd never live in. (What with the Governors and such, yanno.)

i.love.lucy Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We moved in yesterday. It was 109 degrees. :001_huh:Those poor movers. I kept them well stocked in gatorade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 :iagree: We moved last week. 3rd floor apartment. We ARE the movers. :svengo: I feel like I am at a fitness boot-camp. Up and down the stairs, carrying as much as I can every trip. Our budget and my waistline are going to be making great progress this year...I refuse to purchase anything b/c I have to carry it up the stairs...and what I must purchase (groceries...gah!!!) will give me the workout I can't afford to purchase at the local gym. I used to love watermelon...now they seem like such a "downstairs" kind of food.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it is the twins going to have bedrooms on 3rd floor and not me-LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrafor6 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Although moving from Texas to Pennsylvania in January probably runs a close second :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manamana Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We moved two weeks ago from the hot part of the state to the cool side. The move went pretty smoothly but I have forgotten how hard it is to "break into" a new town. In this case we moved from a small town to an urban city and I'm experiencing culture shock. I just keep telling myself that it will get better AND resist the temptation to feel like a total outsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
