Frustration

So while I was having my baby at the hospital, our basement flooded. I had everything worked out perfectly, but all my plans had to change, because our basement is now uninhabitable. Luckily it wasn't a fire, and none of our stuff got damaged, but we have been living upstairs with my in-laws for the last 2 1/2 weeks and still have 2-3 weeks to go. The most frustrating parts were bringing home a new baby and having to move that weekend, and my 2 year old. She is doing wonderfully for all the changes that have been thrown into her life, but she is struggling. She recently discovered how to open doors and that she can reach the light switches, so putting her to bed is a nightmare. She will not stay in bed (she is currently in my in-laws tv room) and plays -- last night we put her to bed about 9:00 and she didn't go to sleep until after 11:30. If we were in our own environment, then I know a lot of the problem would be solved, but she wants to explore this new room and it is driving me crazy. I wonder if really need to worry about it or not, because we will be going back to our basement soon enough, and in a few months we will be moving into our new house, so is it a big deal and do I teach her now, or do I wait for a while until she and I am more settled? I'm just not sure, but I know that I am really struggling with this trial right now.
