Packing

Every time I mention to someone that we're moving again, the response seems to be, "Oh, you ought to be really good at this by now." Seriously. I should be. In the 8 years that we've been married, we've moved 7 times. This will be the eighth. I ought to be a professional by now. You'd think. Somehow it's not quite like that.

I hate moving. I hate packing. I put it off until I know that I really have to start working on it. Like now. We're closing on the house next Thursday - yes, a week and two days. And just yesterday I started packing. We're technically not moving in for about three more weeks, but I really feel like I ought to have more done by now. Oh well, a little at a time, I guess.

Being pregnant doesn't help matters any. I haven't moved while pregnant before. So this is a new experience in that regard. Basically, I'm packing boxes, and then the boxes just stay wherever they were when packed! So our house will be crazy stacks of boxes all over the place by the time we actually move.

But I've decided that it doesn't matter. We will be so glad to get into a house again, we'll put up with it - no problem!!
