I HATE IT!!!!

I HATE MOVING!

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it (deep breath) I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!!!!!!!!! (Believe me, I've spared you, because I could go on in this vein for a LONG time!)

We have been blessed in that this will only be our second move in the almost 6 years we've been married, but still, I HATE IT!!!

The move is in 6 days Jenna, just freaking pack a box!!!

I don't know why I can't get started. I procrastinate a lot of things, especially the hard things that I know are going to take me a long time, but seriously, this is ridiculous, I really, really need to get started here.

I decided in an email to my mom yesterday that I was over this move, I am going to quit complaining and just pack up my stinking house and get it over with - well that lasted about 10 minutes and still, I did not get a box packed (but I did get the toys cleaned out.) It's just so overwhelming! Where to start? And what exactly, has to be packed for a move two buildings away? Can't we just cart it all over unpacked? (NO! Is what I've been told, by the way. :-)

So, I'm going to seriously pack some dang boxes now. I promise! The Elders Quorum will not come over on Fri afternoon and find me blogging with nary a box packed.

I promise.

Honest.

Here I go.

Oh yeah, for those not within earshot of my incessant complaining (so sorry dear friends, neighbors, ward members, family and total strangers who would listen.) We're moving two buildings down into a 3 bedroom. Glorious. An extra bedroom/office/food-craft-toy and crap storage room. I'm sure all this will be worth it. (It will right???????)

  1. Totally worth it! But I thought you weren't moving until the 21st??

  3. Jenna, I feel your pain. A few years ago we moved six doors down--from one town home to another. It was the worst move we ever did because I never knew what to pack! Why pack when I could just move things from one closet to the other?? What was the point? It was horrible and I was so not motivated! I needed my things!! It was so much easier to move from state to state than it was to move six doors down.

  4. Oh I feel your pain Jenna. I'm so sorry. Kristi had to come over and get me going just a few days prior to my move because I just couldn't start. But once you start it will fly! So get on with it! And a 3 bedroom will TOTALLY be worth it. Just make that your mantra.

  5. Yes, moving tends to bring out the worst in whomever is moving (not usually the ones helping out). So maybe you could get a friend and/or visiting teacher to keep you company for awhile over the next couple days. Even if you have to do most of the packing yourself, maybe the high spirits of the company will be just enough to get you through this without ripping your hair out or doing something else drastic.

  6. You will love having 3 bedrooms. We had to be married 7 years before we got one, and we're so happy about it. I'll need to get your new address, so that I can send you a Christmas card.

  7. I concur. I don't pack until the last possible moment because I am so certain I will use my muffin pan or crimper. But at least the move isn't too far away which means it will at least be a little less work, right?

  8. moving is miserable. i still have just a few boxes still to unpack after moving to NY. But i know that won't be you. two days after you're in your house, it will be in complete order, I was your neighbor just long enough to know that you will get it together quickly. And do you have baby 3 on the way, since you are moving into a 3 bedroom?

  9. LOL, I hope you survived! I hate moving too, so I simply refuse. That comes with consequences though too :) I hate packing. When I went to Russia for 6 months, I packed my travel bags and put all my other stuff in storage boxes about 8 hours before my plane left. I am your sister in packing procrastination. I hate it too!
