After a busy weekend of packing and keeping the kids busy, I picked Trung up from the airport on Tuesday afternoon to find that he had bruised his right shoulder during his ski trip. *sigh* Fortunately, we had arranged for movers (two scrawny Russian guys) to transport the big furniture, but he could not do any heavy lifting. I ended up dolly-ing around eight van loads of stuff and callousing up my hands, but at least I got a good work-out for the week. Thank goodness four our new Cali friends and for the fact that we started doing playdates for Lydia with her classmates; the mommies really helped us out and kept the kids out of our hair to buy us some moving/unpacking time.
Thursday was a day of relief. In the morning, I took another tour of Lydia's elementary school, Roosevelt, and picked up her enrollment packet. It was a great feeling to finally have it in my hands because it made all the hardships of moving well worth it. I am very excited for Lydia as Roosevelt is a very good "rich" school and she will get to benefit from that...I'm talking about "smart" computers in every classroom, no more chalkboards! My kid will be 8 blocks from the Pacific and have mountain views during her recess time, and will never realize how lucky she is. Oh well. After many hours of moving miscellaneous items and cleaning, we finally moved out of our Playa Vista apartment at 11:15 PM. Everyone has been sleeping late, especially the kids, and been feeling disoriented all week, so it was definitely a relief. We enjoyed our time in Playa Vista and it helped with our transition from Texas, but we are psyched about living in Santa Monica now.
