Do you enjoy moving?? Not this girl.
In the last 32 years…that’s how long we’ve been married…we have moved 11 times. 8 of those times with 3 kids in tow.
When the kids were about 3, 6 and 8&1/2, we moved 4 times in the span of 9 months. Not something I ever wish to repeat, but it does make moving again after only 14months, although not optimal or enjoyable, it is certainly not the worst it has ever been.
That being said, I still hate it.
Our last move was brutal. We had been in that house for more than 9 years, and man can a family of 5 accumulate ALOT of stuff in 9 years.
We purged, and sold, and donated, and recycled, and tossed, and purged some more. It was a super stressful time, and an extreme amount of work, but in the end it did all get done and we survived.
With there only being 4 of us here at home now, and thanks to all the purging last time, there is less to do this time, but unfortunately most of it is Mom’s to do.
The two boys have their own rooms to pack….they might each be about half way done but look like bombs have gone off in them. Hubby has his office/studio and his half of our bedroom. He might be a third of the way done his stuff.
Me, I get the rest of the house. Oyy!
We are approaching the end of today, so only 4 more days left to get the rest of this done. Livingroom is 95% done. My office space is only about 50% done. Bedroom, just needs the clothes from my dresser put in a box. A box or two to do in the bathrooms. Linen closet complete. Kitchen, maybe half done but much of what is left will be moved in the car and put right back in the cupboards rather than packed on the moving truck. That is a benefit to only being about 7 minutes away from our current home. Basement is about 75% done…mostly because a bunch of it didn’t get unpacked from the last move. LOL
It will be a long and tiring week, but we will get there.
For now we will hum a little tune to keep us going and just pack one more box at a time.
