I  wake up early and Jay is in his office and seemed to be ticked. I just walk pass his office. " Jane I  need to tell you something. (she looks at me with concern) I lost a lot of money on a deal that fell through. We are okay financially but this is the first time, I have lost this much. I will have to be careful on my frivolous spending for the next several months and not have any parties here that we pay for."  " Jay its okay. I didn't marry you for your money. We still have a roof over our head,  we have jobs and our health is pretty good."  I  hug Jay and kiss him and remind him my mother will be here the next two days.
MA comes and picks up my keys and I hand her the layout of the furniture in the rooms. "Jane your two brothers graciously agreed to help today. OKAY,  maybe not graciously.  I had to bribe them with making fresh canolis for them in your kitchen. I hope the big stuff arrives today. I know that at the coed shower others stated that they would help but as you said the stores kept changing the dates of inventory coming in. I  don't blame people getting flustered.  They

did say they would drop on by after work to assist with unpacking items that your brothers got tired to complete

(Kevin, Tommy, Antonio ,Frankie, Frost and Samuel's have graciously previously  agreed to pick up any item that was purchased on the registry,)

I drive to Jay and Jane's home and my two handsome boys are there on their days off to help me. They help me bring in my luggage and the groceries.
Tommy placed MA's luggage in her bedroom downstairs stairs that was already furnished awhile ago as well as her bathroom.


  "Okay here is the layout of each room.  Your sister labeled each door frame with sticky notes.  While you guys work with the delivery guys, I will begin making the canolis as promised."
The furniture guys come. The guys direct them to the rooms. Normally they don't move the furniture to the rooms but Jay left a box of cuban cigars, cases of beer for the guys to use as bargaining tools for us that he keeps for himself.

As the big stuff is being brought in, Frankie and I are opening the smaller boxes to put up. Whatever we don't get open, they can do the rest.
