Freaking out!

So I have been freaking out a bit lately on everything we have to do before they start work on the house... in two weeks.  And we don't have any free weekends really.  The day before they come and start the bathroom, hubby and I are taking an all day trip to Boston to a Red Sox game.  That might be a good time to be home and clean out the bathroom before they  demolish it.  But I guess we'll do that another day.  After the bathroom is done, they will begin the downstairs, which involves new flooring throughout.  This should begin right after Memorial day.   We are going camping Memorial day weekend in the Adirondacks.  Since we have to move all the furniture out of the downstairs and empty the kitchen, this might be a good weekend to be home as well.  But I guess we will do that another day as well. This is not to mention all the other things we have to do around the house inside and out.   The garden needs work, the fence has to be fixed, the lawn mowed, the garden planted, the flowers planted... Wow.  Any volunteers to come over and help?  At least swim lessons are over so we don't need to be going to the YMCA anymore Saturday mornings.  And K. is not going to be doing baseball for a while with his broken wrist, so no more Sunday afternoon games.  So we do have a bit more free time than we thought, maybe. 
I wish there were some strong high school boys on the street we could pay to move all the furniture.  But no, I think we will be doing it ourselves.  I guess our garage will be holding all our living room and dining room and kitchen items for a few weeks! At least its good weather for the cars to be in the driveway.   We won't have room for everything to go back into our kitchen and dining room, so what to do with the extra furniture?  Hold on to it, until Brother moves back to the US?  Yard sale?  Craig's List?  Right now I can't decide.  I have enough to worry about. 
There isn't really an option of not going away on these trips.  We need to do them.  Hubby and I need some time away to enjoy by ourselves.  We all need to go camping for Memorial Day weekend.  The boys LOVE camping and we always go on Memorial day weekend.  It is our start to summer.  So we'll carry and and figure the rest out as we go!  Somehow everything will work out in its own crazy way.
