In an hour or two, the packers should be here, opening every drawer and dumping every personal item into boxes. They will dutifully wrap individual wooden blocks if nobody stops them, but then drop a Stetson hat in the bottom of a box and dump boots on top of it.

I’m not as ready as I was last time. But it will all get moved. I had a difficult time maintaining my composure yesterday, since I really wanted to scream and cry and lock all the children in a soundproof room so I wouldn’t have to hear their whines and I could actually get stuff done. And there was a moment there, when my resolution for the month was in serious jeopardy. But I took a deep breath and explained to my husband that if he interrupted my laboring one more time to show me something neat he unburied from his desk, I was going to lose it. He backed off, and I calmed down.
Now I’m off to put my clothing in a special “DO NOT PACK” room, otherwise I will spend the next week and a half wearing the same thing every day.

Stay cool, mama. Can’t wait to see you!
Good luck with the move! See you on the other side!
Good luck with every thing. I’ll be praying you don’t “lose it” on the trip!
I remember our one and only military packing experience. It was 20 yrs last month. I was warned to make sure to put the trashcan in the no pack area. Our no pack area was our car. I still remember trying to watch the movers and chase one toddler at the time so I’ll be praying for you. Those movers are like locust.
See you on the flip side! Have a safe trip, and I’ll be praying for you!
Good luck with the packing and the movers. Our family will be sure to pray that nothing major gets broken and the car trip is free of disasters.
Traveling mercies and angels around you all! We’ll be praying for you.Who is the patron saint of moving? So many of them made like Abraham and Sarah…hey, about them? And St. Teresa of Avila who had to move around Spain all the time and ended up in a ditch. (0pps, forget that last phrase.)Traveling mercies!
