Child Labor and Other Confessions

We are officially moving on Saturday - that's when the movers are coming. Until then, we will be packing and moving as much as we can by ourselves. To this end, we have resorted to using child labor.


I am very excited to move into our new house. It's out in the country. Harper will have a huge yard to play in. I can't say that I'll miss our apartment very much. We are currently living on the 3rd floor. There are 39 stairs to climb to get to our apartment. 39 stairs to carry Harper up and down every day. 39 stairs to carry groceries up. 39 stairs to climb when you get to the car and realize you forgot something on the kitchen counter. You get the picture.

Also...I have a turkey in my freezer. It's been there since last Thanksgiving. The university that I work for gives out turkeys every year at Thanksgiving as an employee appreciation gift. I don't know how to cook a turkey. Therefore, it has been in the freezer since I got it. My question for you is: Is it still good? Should we bother moving it to the new house or just toss it? Does anyone want it? Or better yet, does someone want to come to my house, cook it, and then we can have a dinner party? I'll cook everything else. You just take care of the bird. Deal?
