Stomach Flu and Floor to Ceiling Boxes

Our week so far has looked like this:

Monday- Jace woke up covered in puke, thought it was just something that he ate that upset his tummy.  Moving truck was delayed because of rain.  Jace threw up his entire day of food on the carpet right before bed, I realized he was actually sick... should have taken more germ sharing precautions.

Tuesday- Moving truck gets here, movers are done unloading by 2 pm.  I unpack Jace's room, start unpacking kitchen... start to feel queesy, sit down and cuddle with Jace.  Put Jace to bed and start vomiting.  This continues every hour until 5:30 am when I'm able to fall asleep.

Wednesday- I can't move or I have to run to the bathroom and dry heave.  Jace is all better and helping Tate unpack boxes all day.  Tate's boss sends a pizza delivery guy to our house (he ordered from his house in Pennsylvania), the delivery guy bring a large pizza, cheesy bread, buffalo wings, chocolate cake, and two 2 liters of pop soda.  I would have normally been ecstatic but the smell was nauseating.  By bedtime I'm able to get up and walk around but my head hurts so I put Jace down to bed early and he actually falls asleep (thank god for his white noise machine arriving!).  Tate is starting to feel queesy.  We go to bed only to wake up a couple hours later with Tate throwing up. 

Today- I'm feeling much better, just low energy, and Jace is completely himself.  Tate is still not feeling well but he's been lucky enough to only throw up once and that seems to be the end of it.  I'm trying to get us completely unpacked but I've come to realize there's no way that is possible.  We have alot of stuff, random stuff, stuff I don't even know why we have.  We need to have a garage sale ASAP. 

There are boxes piled up to the ceilings still, it's overwhelming.  I don't remember having nearly this much stuff when we moved a year ago.  We thought having a moving company pack and move our things would take most of the burden of moving off of us, (and it was included in Tate's relocation package)... boy were we wrong.  If we had packed our own stuff it would have forced us to get rid of things we no longer needed and organize on the front end. 

When the movers packed our stuff they literally took everything and threw it in random boxes and wrapped a TON of paper around it.  Our garage is literally filled with moving paper.  Alot of boxes we had in storage were emptied and re-packed.  We have a green and red storage bin of christmas stuff that was unpacked and kitchen stuff was packed in there along with ornaments.  Talk about annoyance when you have to go through and unwrap everything to find out if it's truly christmas related or if it's an everyday need.  Not to complain, it was nice having them do the heavy lifting, but it was not as convenient as we expected it to be.

We finally have internet set up, and have our fridge and washer and dryer are all hooked up and in working order too.  I can't get used to the sound of the ice maker in the freezer though.  It scares me everytime, haha!  I'm looking forward to doing some laundry as soon as I find the laundry detergent in one of these boxes.  Oh, we also have our home phone line set up and it was weird to realize our area code is now 843.  Weird...  I'm really hoping we have this place organized soon because when you're not feeling 100% all you want is to be in the comfort of your own home, and right now this sure doesn't feel like home.  Anyways, I need to get cleaned up and head to the grocery store Piggly Wiggly (no joke!).  The only items in our fridge right now are condiments, soda, and left over pizza and buffalo wings.  That doesn't sound like a very good idea considering our week.
