So last night, packing had come to a standstill due to a shortage of boxes.
Knowing that Walmart stocks at night, I gave them a call to see if they could save some boxes for us so we could pick them up in the morning. I was greeted with a "Merry Christmas" and after my request was told, "we don't save boxes, hon," but was then told they stock from 10:30 to 12 at night, and if we came around midnight that we could get the boxes straight from the stockers.
With my father-in-law here, we left the kids and made a crazy midnight run to Walmart, achieving our goal and able to resume packing.
The only problem is that waking up early on Sunday morning to go to church is VERY difficult when you only get 4 hours of interrupted sleep with all 3 kids waking us up at different times of the night, but considering how much chaos they're enduring, they are doing very well.
Amazingly . . . we had enough time to get ready, AND write a blog post in the morning!
