Man I suck at updating

the whole move thing is sorta done (we're back to renting, couldn't find a place in our price range that would do for more than a couple years, and we didn't want to lose money on the whole process of buying and selling a house if we had to resell it two or three years down the line).  still have stuff in storage at our friend Jenny's house (where we were staying for the two months we were effectively homeless), my mom's apartment, and my uncle's basement, but we're getting it all together slowly but surely.  Liam's been teething almost non-stop which hasn't helped my sanity at all - he cut his four upper front teeth all at the same time, right in the middle of our ex-upstairs neighbors threatening to have the Hell's Angels on our front lawn and such, got two more lower ones coming in right on the heels of those, and now appears to be cutting his lower left cuspid already, even tho the 8th tooth to appear isn't fully lined up with the 3 next to it yet.  He's still an incredibly sweet little boy, loves recieving and giving kisses (tho sometimes he forgets that kisses don't use teeth), and has this really sweet look he gets on his face when he wants to steal something you're eating (we play a lot of "Smootch the Mooch" - trying to teach him at least to not just grab the food off our plates/bowls/hands, but to get/give a kiss for it first... makes it seem slightly less obnoxious we think).

So... waht's going on now? not much aside from dealing with the mountains of boxes and trying to get rooms painted so they can actually have FURNITURE in them (I refuse to live in a home with off-white walls any longer, I've been staring at off-white walls for FIFTEEN YEARS now and I'm sick of it!).  We started moving at the beginning of May, but the room that is to be our bedroom stunk of cat pee from the prior tenants, the landlord wound up ripping up the carpet and replacing it (which took him like 3 weeks), and we just FINALLY got permission to paint the bedrooms this past Sunday afternoon (he's a bit rententive about stuff, insisted on documenting the condition of the rooms before we painted them... then of course he wrote down that the walls were "OK" and everything on his little form, I went to prep the room for painting and tried to remove a LITTLE loose paint from the baseboards and it turns out ALL the trim paint was loose - some genius in the past painted a satin finish paint over a GLOSS paint without even washing the gloss first, much less deglossing and priming it, so about 70% of the trim paint came off with just my fingers working... where Garvin tried to scrape it actually didn't come off as well.  Hopefully that bedroom will be painted today or tomorrow.


Liam's wanting my attention, that's all I can write for now.
