I hate moving. I hate the disruption of my routine. I hate that I can't find ANYTHING. I hate living in one place while my stuff is in the other. I hate it. AND, I hate moving with children. I have not yet recovered from our move last August. Can you blame me? It has only been NINE months and we are moving again. Two adults (one being a history teacher with her own personal library), FOUR kids (two age 5 or younger, which means TONS of toys) and two BIG dogs. On the bright side, there were SO many issues with this house, I protested unpacking and so there is a 2 1/2 car Now, I am SO EXCITED to live in the new house. The boys will each have their own rooms. The yard is already fenced in. I have paint colors already picked out! BEST part, we are right next to another fire family and we hit it off BEAUTIFULLY. I can't wait to spend summer with them. Our kids get along great. I am excited.
Can I just skip the rest of May? Skip the packing and the moving and the "Honey, have you seen the________________________?" that comes with this. Can I skip the senioritis that is SO in full swing and my juniors thinking they are already top dog? Can I skip finals and grades? PLEASE???
FINE! I'll be a grown-up and just do what needs to be done, just not with a smile!
So, tomorrow, here is the list of things to pack...
- Tupperware, that is not absolutely necessary
- Girls' toys and stuffed animals - tower o' toys,princess dresses, books that are not still packed from last move, 2 babies per girl and pillow pets will be left for sanity's sake
- Boys' toys
- Stemware
- Cookbooks

So, I am indeed looking forward to the next chapter, just not the dirty work to get there. I think we might even splurge and get a mover for the furniture and appliances. That will make life easier for my hubby, seeing as I still have school until the end of the month. It takes some of the burden off of his shoulders.
And, once we are done, I can enjoy the summer rather than having to get back to school with boxes all over my house!
Kinda funny how things work out isn't it. Liking your new house and especially the neighbors is a light at the end of the tunnel.
ReplyDeleteSplurging for the movers is probably a good move. Probably cheaper (and/or less painful) than your hubby accidently injuring himself.
