Moving Day Diary 5/22/13 : Organized Chaos

This is our unaccompanied baggage. Well most of it. We also have clothes, the kids' bikes, hair tools, powerwheel more kitchen appliances and other things. Tomorrow the guys come in whatever time they can and pick it all up an put it on a truck, then a ship and then another truck to our next destination.

I made sure to pack my favorite cooking supplies so it'll be ready for me to use within a few weeks as it will take months for our large shipment of household goods to arrive. Our house is becoming more and more empty. I can hear my echo in more and more rooms.

Tomorrow I have to make sure our travel plans to see our family are squared away, and also I have to clean and do more laundry, but most of all play the waiting game. Mil moves...so fun.

Wordless Wednesday

We were at the end of a rainbow a week and a half ago. Was so cool.

Moving Diary 5/21/13: Productive Day

So happy that I got a lot accomplished today. Most of the laundry is done so now I have everything that will be shipped this week in one area and the stuff we pack in our suitcases somewhere.

Today I talked to my neighbor for a while. He is so sweet and has helped me tremendously while we lived here. I hope to have a great neighbor like him (some of my other neighbors not all of them are so nice.).

We got rid of about 8 bags of clothes as well as stuff on the curb. It truly disappears before we have a chance to sit it on the ground. Still happy I made an appointment though. Because not everything is getting snatched up. Like our 120V old Christmas tree and lights so they can take that and it's off our hands.  I also cleaned the main bathroom reorganizing everything again to make sure got rid of everything that wasn't needed.

Tomorrow, my plan is to clean the kitchen, cook the dinner I was supposed to today LOL! Also put all the appliances, clothes, kitchenware, electronics and kids' toys so the movers can get to them and get out as quickly as possible!

My plan is to stay productive, positive, and consistent with everything going on

Moving Diary 5/20/13

I got to talk to my mom yesterday. That was nice. She's still feeling really really down about all of the close deaths in our family. I hope seeing me and my family soon lift her spirits. I miss her and my brother, we definitely need to see one another as much as we can.

I've been feeling really ill all week. I've been ill since Friday afternoon. Stupid weather here. It's been terrible. Rainy most days and sunny maybe one. So annoying. I did get done as much as I could. I went through all the 'junk' drawers, you know the one you put pamphlets, receipts, earrings that don't match, screws etc.  I cleaned those out. I also moved most of our seasonal decor from flimsy boxes to better storage compartments. Trying to have an organized start! We have a lot of stuff! I did get rid of a lot of stuff as well. We still had 220V Christmas lights that we forgot to get rid of. Well luckily we've already made arrangements to have metal and electrical items picked up. I guess will be getting rid of our vacuum the very last minute, with kids you need that every single day, several times a day.

We think our neighbors will love rummaging through our things this week, I hope. I would love to see things get a new home than have to get dumped somewhere.

Well today, I am going to try to do as much laundry as possible and sort out more clothes. Mostly me eldest.   He is growing so fast and his pants are getting shorter every day. I also will call some rental car agencies in the states to see whether or not we can rent a car for our trip to see our families. That will be a very very exhausting week.
