If it's not one thing, it's another!

Here a sign that maybe things have gotten a little crazy:

Larry went to take the trash out and when he reached for a new bag, he realized that he was taking the last bag.

Larry: If it's not one thing, it's another.
Jenny: It's a trash bag. People run out of trash bags all the time. It's OK. I'll go buy more tomorrow.
Larry: We're out of trash bags, we're out of sandwich meat...
Jenny: Yes, I know. It's because we use those things. And that's why I'm going to the store tomorrow. I'll get more bags, lunch meat, and we need stamps. Not a big deal.
Larry: It never ends.

Unfortunately, he's right. Although the trash bag situation didn't stress me out, we have not had one calm night since we moved in. I told him last night that I'm only hoping for one calm, boring night before Isaac comes, since things really will get crazy then. And it's not bad things that are happening. (Some things are frustrating- like the night that I accidentally set the child safety lock on the dishwasher and spent the next 30 minutes trying to figure out why the thing had power, but wouldn't wash my dishes!) For the most part, we're just busy trying to get the house set up, get Isaac's room ready and spend some time relaxing with each other. Oh, and we were trying to sell
Larry's car.

Which was why last night was crazy. If you ever need to sell anything, I highly recommend
www.craigslist.com. That site is amazing!! You post what you want to sell, and people contact you. If they are interested, they come out and look at the item(s) and make you an offer. Larry wanted to post his car on Auto Trader, but once he saw that it cost money, he put it on CraigsList instead. Within an hour he had 2 e-mails. We went to run our errands and came back home. In a time span of 2 hours, he received 10 more e-mails! It was out of control. He called everyone back and explained the issues with the car while I called my dad to find out what we were supposed to do. We did not expect that kind of response. Two sets of people came out. The second guy bought the car. Larry posted the ad at 5 pm and we watched the car drive away at 10:45 pm the same night.
