Today has been one of those days where I have so much to do yet every single thing I do takes me freakin' forever to complete. This morning, the enormity of what we have to accomplish very soon here overwhelmed me and I really had no answer to this question:
How the hell are we going to get our shit packed up, moving some of it to my MIL's and the majority of it into storage while still having to take care of all the normal daily stuff?
Translation: taking care of my kids takes a whole lot of time and G-A-W-D, they are messy all the time and while I don't expect to have a clean house during this process, I need to know what we have and where it is so that I can make a decision as to whether it goes into the "temporary living" box or the "it's going to storage" boxes. The number of decisions that I have to make are freakin' longer than the 13.1 miles I will be running on April 16th and for some unknown reason, I'm having a really really really difficult time making ANY kind of decision.
Calgon, take me away.
Better yet, please let my fairy packing friends descend upon me (and quick) because at the rate I am going, I won't have our house packed up until 2016, which is WAY past our April 4th, 2011 close date.
I hate moving.
I just have to remind myself about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and it is this:
Our newly purchased 1.1 acre lot with 114 trees on the buildable portion of the lot. That's a whole lotta trees and we're going to do our best to keep as many of them as possible! One day there will be a custom-designed house built for us right where we are standing.
One day.......
I just need to make it through the next two weeks without losing my freakin' mind : ).

That is a beautiful lot!! I'd so help you pack if I was there. I'd also bring booze. ((hugs)) hooker.
What a great lot!! You are gonna make it, girl. Just keep up the running and it will keep you relatively sane!!
Congrats. It looks lovely :)
I love being in my own little space. that would be awesome.
It's going to be so amazing and so worth it!
I know. I KNOW. I close April 7th and I'm out of the house from 7:30am-5pm on a GOOD day (not counting Mon gymnastics, Wed therapy, Thu gymnastics and dance which are between 5-7pm) and oh yeah, I have a house FULL of shit that my ex-husband walked away from, which YAY no fighting over possessions, but HOLY FUCK I HAVE TO PACK THIS ALL MYSELF. And move it myself. And close myself. And set up utilities myself. And work. And grade. And *collapse* *tears* *halp*
I hear you. This sucks. :(
BUT - (I was so busy being negative I forgot the pot of gold)...like you, I am so excited for the happy ending and new beginning. MY house. MY MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE WITH NO CHEATING LYING MEMORIES.
I got this. You got this. We got this.
Looks amazing. Congrats!
It will be worth it! Look at all those smiles on that beautiful lot. Trust. It will be worth it.
What better pot of gold then what is in this picture. Your beautiful family and an awesome lot to build the perfect home. It will all get packed and moved. I promise! XOXO
Keep the end result on the brain at all times and it WILL be easier to do it all. Love this pic! You are looking SKINNY girl!!
Love!!!
Congrats!!!
Sometimes you have to jump a few hurdles to get to the finish line. Moving sucks, but the end result is going to be fabulous!!!
Congrats on your future yard! what a blessing indeed. I will keep you and your family in my prayers as you transition to your temporary home!
Someday you'll be able to look back and realize this is just a small blip in the road. Try to enjoy the next couple of weeks because the changes you are making are AWESOME.
