Well 12 boxes of books are packed and as of right now, I'm finished packing...books. That's it. Books.
Those boxes don't include the cookbooks, Sophie's books, Janzen's books, or the various books under beds, in the bathroom, and in other nooks and crannies, which will probably add up to at least 5 more boxes. Sheesh.
Today my mom, the world's best and most experienced packer is coming over to lend a hand. I'm grateful, but hesitant for her to see the built up detritus of the last 8 years of my life. I think I'll put her to work packing the kitchen, which should be fairly safe, and I'll start tackling Sophie's room.
I'm not even THINKING about the basement which includes Janzen/E's room and the laundry room. That would just make me mad. That is, both crazy and angry. Or the yard. My goal is to get the stuff we need to live comfortably up to the new place by Monday. That leaves me 4 days to gather miscellanea and clean before the new guy moves in.
Have I mentioned that I hate this? Plus, my period is starting any second, and I can tell from the little sores on my eyelids that the Epstein Barr is creeping up again.
So, send me prayers and love, and hopefully this time next week, I'll be posting on my awesome new kitchen, the beauty of central air, and vastness of my new master bedroom.
Today's best thing about being a mom:
I brought home a big box filled with packing peanuts that I had pilfered from my bro's store. She checked it out and announced, "How remarkable! A box filled with snow!"
Today'w worst thing about being a mom:
Picking up the packing peanuts

lady, you haven't seen a cluttered house. your basement has NOTHIN on mine. you don't give yourself enough credit. not to say that packing it isn't going to be daunting, but you haven't accumulated so much stuff that you can't walk, so you're doing fantastic.
I can't believe it is this weekend already that you're moving. it went so fast.
Have you met my friend Tera? Her life is plagued by packaging peanuts.
Anyway, much prayers and sane thoughts while you move.
xoxo
I'm sending you all the support, sleep, and moving juju I can muster.
Hope it went well darling.
