And so it continues…..
Packing, newspaper, boxes, packing tape, packing, newspaper, boxes, packing tape!
That is all I tried to do this weekend, with a little cleaning of course. Our move is just a little over 7 days away and I feel I got a lot done but with kids and their toys all over the place it makes it hard to see the progress.
There is just stuff everywhere. I haven’t put my craft stuff away yet either and that is a site for sore eyes. LOL! I have crap everywhere. I packed a bunch of boxes and threw away a bunch of crap. Nicki threw a bunch of junk away from in her room, I threw away a tv stand or two, a twin mattress will be going in the trash along with a night stand and two desks and some dishes.
We are trying to be able to get all of our stuff in a 24′ truck. We have 2 4-wheelers we have to get in there too and that takes up some space.
Next week I believe it is going to be hectic. Well, this Friday, I will be going to Nicki’s school to submit her withdraw paperwork. Then starting Monday, we pick up the rental truck early in the morning. Tony will be out in the garage part of the morning getting all that stuff packed in the truck first.
Hopefully he will get done well before the kids need to take a nap and then we can get all the stuff from the house in there. When we moved in to the apartment 6 months ago, we had pretty much all of the stuff from the house in the truck by about 11 am. We had a “Florida room” or as most people would call it a screened patio….it was filled with JUNK. That patio took about 2-3 hours to sort though and get on the truck. Most of it ended up in the trash but this time we don’t have all that junk piled up.
We then plan to call it an early evening, get some take out of some sort and watch a little tv and get an early nights sleep. Tuesday morning we will get up before the sun, hopefully, load up the cribs, remaining beds and last minutes items. Do some last minute cleaning and then get on the road.
I am hoping to be all loaded and on the road by 10am. We will have about a 5-6 HOUR drive ahead of us. I hate driving. Really I do, but I will be excited to get this move over with.
We have to meet the landlord of the new house at the house at a decent time so we can get the keys.
Early Wednesday morning we will have Brighthouse come and install our internet. We will also spend the day unloading the truck. Thursday will be mostly getting organized and registering Nicki for school. Friday we have DirecTV coming to hook up the satellite. We will then have all weekend and Monday to chill and hang out until Tony has to return to work on Tuesday. Hopefully with Tony home all week we will be able to get most of the boxes unpacked and the house somewhat organized.
Well now I am off to bath the kids and make dinner!
