I was going to use another word instead of mode in title, which would more closely relate my feeling right now, however, I make it a policy not to use profanity. But I am thinking it.
It has been 8 days since I last blogged. Seriously, the purging isn't going so well anymore. After tackling the shed some, I gave up and don't know what to do anymore. I know there are more things to get rid of, but until I decorate at my new house I keep thinking I may need some of these items. So I am at a standstill. Still, I did fairly well, and I can always get rid of more when I finish decorating the new place and don't need items. It is cheaper than buying new.
So, what have I done this last week beside start a new job, run a PTO meeting, attend a funeral and be an overall wonderful mom....pack. And plenty of it.
Dining room - complete except three things (glass) so just a couple more boxes. Kitchen, all packed except pots and pans and food, of course. Family room over 1/2 done. Office 1/2 done. Daughters in charge of her own room and making good progress. Bathrooms are scaled down, but items will go in one box on day of move. Walls are almost all bare of photos. But still it seems like so much.
I am using the color coded duct tape on the boxes. I like the idea. Ordered a rental truck to day and also touched base with moving help which I am going to book. Why, why, why didn't I hire help last time? Seriously, if they help as much as I am thinking they will, I will never move again without their help. Wait, I am not likely to move again anyhow....
So back to packing a few more boxes for the evening. I work tomorrow morning but will really hit it hard on Wed. and Thurs. and then if all goes well (crossing my fingers and toes and more importantly, paying) house will be closed and mine at 10 am Friday morning :)
Super excited.
