The Pain of Moving

We were so stressed of moving.....couple of days ago, the Human Resources informed my husband that he needs to report for work on the 28th of April. So, we need to pack up our things 1 week before that, call up the moving company for the schedule of packing all our stuff, then set up the date of moving. We decided to throw away some not so needed things, like his old lazy boy chair, some old clothes, etc. We also given away to friends the other things that still useful like the bunkbed of the girls. Now, that they are taller, each of them needs a bed.

The not so fun thing is the searching....it's hard to find a place especially if you have a dog. Some nice condos don't accept pets. We can't just gave up our dog, he's our boy. We found a place but it's a townhouse, much more expensive but they accept dogs. It's a nice townhouse, spacious kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and its near the girl's school. We will pay $35 monthly fee for our dog, plus $300 for dog deposit. Since we are in a rush, we just get it.

Unluckily the townhouse will be available on May 1st but husband needs to report for work on the 28th. The deposit was made, contract was signed..so the only remedy is to stay at the hotel for 1 week. All the stuffs will stay at the moving company and we will move to the hotel. I'm against staying at the hotel for economic reasons, but we have no choice as of the moment. As planned we will be moving on the 23rd of April, stay on the hotel for 7 days, waiting for the availability of the townhouse.
