Packing

NO new news on the house front, but the movers are still coming in a week. I am beginning to stress and sweat the packing. I open cupboards to more stuff. I am about finished though with the kitchen other than our everyday dishes. I made a pile of the fragile boxes in the front room. The book boxes are in the living room. The garage is still a project, but I have made inroads. Three runs to the thrift store with donations of odds and ends.

I realize when my children go off to college I do have enough supplies for them to have off campus apartments.

I am tackling the weeds in the yard with some teen helpers. I am hoping it will look decent in a few days. I'll order the bark next week once the weeding is done. It is taking longer than I thought it would. Tomorrow is garbage day so I will have empty cans again. Right now they are on the street full to the brim.

I threw away the old rabbit cage. It was 25 years old. The bottom was rusty. It stuck out of the top of the garbage can so I couldn't close the lid. It does feel good to have tossed some big items.

I had to chase the neighbor children away. They were distracting the boys from packing and driving me a bit crazy. It is just too stressful having children running around asking questions and getting into things. The boys are trying every excuse to get out of packing. We will get the packing done though. We have to.
