I hate packing...

I realized yesterday how much I hate packing.  You know what that means right?  I hate moving, too.  It has been 12 years. 

We moved in here when I was pregnant with Ashleigh.  We moved in on January 15.  Ashleigh was born June 4.  Ashleigh's room had boxes piled.  I had 2 friends come & help me clean out her room so we could get her crib set up.  1 of those friends was pregnant, too.  Her daughter was born 10 days after Ashleigh.  I was also finishing up my degree by commuting an hour South.  I finished it by the time Ashleigh was 2.

When Shawn & I were younger & without kids, we moved from an apartment to another (big one, but heating was $$) then we moved again.  And again.  I think it is different when we have kids. 

 Any advice for packing up the kids' toys, etc.  It will be awhile before I get to their rooms.  I will pack up what they don't use now, but everything else will watch until end of May.

My dining room looks unorganized!!  I still have my table to clean off.  I packed 14 boxes yesterday.  I had 2 boxes left from our first pile of them.  Shawn brought me home 6.  I will get more tomorrow.  


I am really looking forward to moving!!  I can not wait until we are all moved in.  More room.  I am not sure how Christmas will be this year here.  How am I to have a tree up?  I need everything in this dining room moved over to the house before Thanksgiving, which means I need more packed, which means I need more boxes.


I am watching the NCIS marathon today on USA.  

I love NCIS.  This is the only show that I make sure I watch every week.  Ethan knows what my favorite show.  He asks if we can watch NCIS.  

What are you doing this today?
