Packing Accountability; A Boring But, Yawn, A Necessary Post

| whyamitalkingsoloud

So. I need to pack. I am wayyyyyy behind schedule. What schedule? The one in my head. I am flexible. I have to be. I have to consciously choose to be. The alternative is an unhappy momma and wife and who wants that?

I finally took more packing accountability pics. I sort of don’t want to post them because it’s kind of embarrassing but on the other hand, it is what it is. I am only human. I like being human. I was just thinking as I hiked with the kids today, how glad I am I’m a human and not some sort of animal. We saw the evidence of various animals as we trekked through the monument. I am a creature of comfort. So my mind began envisioning where these animals slept, which animal poo was I looking at, whether the rain bothered them.  I remember actually thinking about how glad I was I didn’t have to sleep in the desert, trudge through cactus searching for food and water or sleep on a rocky floor.

The pics I am going to post are of the school room. This has been a dumping ground and staging area as I have been sifting through things.

Overview number one.
Overview number two.

The next pictures are broken down by section. This is so I do not bite off more than I can chew when I have time to pack.

Ikea cubbies. The items in these cubbies have been 95% sorted through already. I now just need to unload and pack them.
Okay, yes. This is Christmas stuff. I didn't want to put it all away just to unpack it to sort through and repack. I did think I would get to it much, much sooner than I have.
This is what I dread most. Odds and ends. A ton of decision making of little piddly things that I am tempted to just put in the dumpster. I still may. Just close my eyes and set the whole kit and caboodle in the trash.
Random items.
Is that a real pumpkin you ask? Isn't it February you ask? Yes, yes it is. A real Princess Pumpkin from October that I have stubbornly hung onto so I can make pumpkin something-or-rather. The gal at the farm said that last a really long time!
My school desk.
Craft storage cupboards. The insides of these are in good shape. Just need to sort and pack.
Last but not least, a small shelf of random school/office items.

I guess my goal is to complete each section pictured here, one at a time, then post the after pics as I go.

The hubs called tonight and said he’d like the house completely packed by the end of this month. That gives me eight days. I feel like laughing hysterically. At least I do not feel like crying! I will do my best!
