We are moving Memorial Weekend.
I have totally forgotten how much work it is to move :eek: :(
There are seven of us, me, DH & 5 kiddos, so you can imagine the crap we have accumulated in this house over the past 6 1/2 years.
DH has taken the first week of June off for his vacation but technically his vacation starts the 26th of this month since those are his regularly scheduled days off. So that leaves us with about 3 weeks to pack.
I started last week with miscellaneous stuff that we dont use and have been busting my tushee all week cleaning, etc. I want everything that we arent using up and out of the way and ready to go. I got up at 6 this morning and started cleaning and packing some more stuff but then as the kids started waking up it just got hectic as of course no one wanted to help but everyone wanted to drag crap out. There was no problem with them pulling stuff out of closets and out of the basement, etc to go thru but when it was time to put stuff away, pack it up or throw it out of course no one was to be found so I ended up forking out $40.00 to ship 4 of them off to skate for a couple hours. I dropped them off and came home and started working again and its only been a couple hours and I am EXHAUSTED!! I clearly remember in the back of my head the day we finished moving into this house and saying to myself... "Ill never move again!"
LMAO
Ugghhhh, Ill just be glad when the next 3 weeks are over :rolleyes: DH works nights and sleeps during the day so I know Ill be doing the butt of all the work until his vacation week gets here but by then everything will be packed and just waiting to go out the door.
Of course you always have the friends and family that say "just call me if you need any help" but then are no where to be found when the time comes.
I know Im going to be one tired cookie when we are done moving. :(
Ok, Im done whining now....lol Just needed to get that off my chest! Back to work I go!
