my schedule over the next few days....

lol hoping typing it out makes it more official and keeps me on track...we shall see.

So far master bedroom, living room and 2 hall closets are pretty much packed.

Today finish packing office and DD's bedroom.

Tomorrow pack other two hall closets (we have homeschool group tomorrow so we'll be gone for a good chunk of the day + it's DD's birthday).

Thursday...begin packing kitchen, also finish anything else in the other rooms that still needs to be done.

Friday...DH is working. I will finish packing kitchen. Hoping after DH gets home he'll be up to helping me break down and pack electronics. This is the day I'm dreading most...it's a super long day for DH at work (18 hours usually..beginning at 3:30 in the morning). He wakes up at 2:00 am and gets back around 9 or 10 at night. The electronics might have to wait until Sat. morning.

Saturday...Any last minute packing, start breaking down furniture while we wait for my sister and brother in law and their trailer, load trailer. After they leave, clean, clean, clean. Pack bathrooms except for things we need for sat night/sun morning.

Sunday...load up the car and leave early to Arkansas. Get pets set up in their homes, once we get there, and then unload the trailer. Hopefully we get to spend some time with family as well, since we haven't seen them since Halloween.

I'm totally stressed just looking at this. I'm really really hoping I make it through the next few days. A week and a half to plan and move is just crazy. I don't recommend it. I'm just glad that by this time next week it'll all be over.

We have internet for the remainder of our time here but it will be gone once we get settled at my sister's place...since they live somewhere that there isn't reliable high speed internet. That's going to be the hardest part for me I think. Thank goodness for smart phones!

 

Thanks, ladies...DD's room is about 3/4 done now! Honestly the office and kitchen are the rooms that scare me most. We'll see how the office goes this afternoon. And Rachel...we have gotten rid of so much already...plus we're posting a few things on Craigslist, and I'm sure there will be a few more boxes and bags taken to the thrift stores on Saturday.

 

lol well the office didn't go as well as planned but there is a good solid start. I knew this room would be tough because it houses all our computers(3!!!), printers (3!!!), paperwork, project life stuff, and homeschool stuff...not to mention just the random stuff that we didn't know what else to do with always winds up in here. I know DD's room is pretty close though, so definite progress was made today. I'm just hoping we've still got some energy after homeschool group tomorrow. It's always a pretty long and tiring day, but I'm so glad DD is going to get to go say bye to her friends (esp since it's her birthday...i heard a rumor that one of the moms is bringing her cupcakes). I also found out today that my brother is coming up with my sis and bil on Sat...so hooray for an extra set of hands!

 

Soooo...moving sucks. lol. DH told me yesterday that he was happy that I got his favorite part of packing, which is the point where I stop giving a whoop and start pitching stuff in the garbage. I filled up 2 big garbage bags yesterday.

Still haven't tackled the two closets (yesterday was almost a non day...with everything else going on the 2 garbage bags and 2 packed boxes were all that got accomplished). Hoping that today I can just get as much done as possible. I would love to have everything done but the bathrooms and kitchen by the end of the day, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I have all day tomorrow for the kitchen..and then I'm not worried about the bathrooms until after the trailer leaves since that's all stuff that we're going to take in the car with us.

I can't believe it's only two days before we load up all our stuff and send it on it's merry way. Scary.

Trish...I would love to meet up with you. I love kids so that's not a problem..I only have one of my own and she's in the moody preteen phase of her life.

I'm just hoping that things fall into place once we get to Arkansas (that's not too much to ask, right?). I really hate that I'm having to rely on family to survive right now, but on the flip side I'm extremely grateful that I have a family that is willing to help us.
