I get:
- completely and utterly exhausted
- sentimental and sit and look at old photos and momentoes when I need to be packing
- completely and utterly exhausted (did I mention that?)
So I was happy to be the person to pack the first two boxes last week, more than a month before moving date. Mike was in Florida on business. And I was delighted to show him I was going to hold up my end of the deal. So he came home and managed to pack more than a dozen boxes in the two days since. And he has the kids packing up their toys and books. He watches basketball playoffs and packs books at the same time. WHO DOES THAT?
We really hope the house goes through. I'm not unpacking this stuff until we move somewhere. (Everything looks good on the house...).

Ah! Don't be too hard on yourself. Not only is it completely normal to get sentimental and ooh-ahh- over everything, you do have a new baby and it isn't easy to do normal stuff let alone such life changing stuff. You all are in our prayers.
I can sympathize. I should be starting to pack too, at least get stuff put away so I can put it into the boxes organized. Nope... haven't started yet- except for making lists of what I have to do. But that doesn't get stuff into the boxes- or did I mention that getting the boxes is on my list to do????
Wish I could be there to help. Glad Mike can multi-task so well. Will pray that the house closing and move go very smoothly.
Thank the Lord you have a husband like Mike. Imagine if you two had the same personality. You'd be months packing just for a move. ;-) It's always good to have differences to stretch and challenge and balance each other out. It's also always good to be flexible in marriage and try to meet the other by working on those "annoying" habits for each other just because we love that person.
Oh gosh, I contemplated the two D's (divorce or death--his or mine, didn't matter at that point) while moving with Jason as well. :) Good luck!
I so remember the exhaustion of moving. After being here 17 years I have accumulated way too much. Bigger house, more stuff. Slowly starting to get rid of stuff but I too get distracted by photos etc.
Gary better at it (maybe a man thing?). We need a smaller place in the coming years as you need more room. Life cycles. Judy
I'm glad I'm not the only one who LOVES to travel, but needs a homebase (ie, I abhor moving). Kinda weird how the wanderlust and roots interwine together.
