M O V I N G D a Y

Manual labor, sweating, straining, backs sore
Obnoxious and stubborn behaviors, family upset
Violent screaming, threats, tears, 
Irritability, tiredness, insomnia
Nasty moods and attitudes
Grumping, griping, grunting, gripping,
Disappointment, disillusionment, despair, 
Anger that we left our family and our real home
Yearning to believe things will be better here

I am an expert at moving; we have moved 31 times.
