Storage

So at this point I'm really wondering what is going to be left for our movers to do. Today we rented a truck and loaded all of our "clutter" as they say in the real estate world, and delivered it to it's new home...a storage unit. We still have more to take, but Jarrod got most of the large items today. While Jarrod was unloading everything, I was at home with Bo trying to clean and pack up what I could. Basically if it's not a necessity it's off to storage. We need to try and make this house look as large as possible. We have no storage in our hous... 3 closets, 2 small linen closets, and a pantry...that's it. So we packed up a lot of things we had just shoved in the closets and kitchen cabinets.

By the end of the day bath things were in boxes with cookbooks, Bo's toys were in with winter clothes, shoes were in boxes with pictures...isn't that the way it always goes. I'm a pretty organized person, but after hours of this I tend to get very lazy. Don't we all do this...we start with nice, new cardboard boxes, a marker, and a tape gun, because we all swear to ourselves that THIS move we are going to do it right and have everything organized! All of the boxes are labeled...the contents and the room in which it belongs, I really get excited about this!! By box number 15 you're lucky if it even gets labeled, because you have such a hodge podge of stuff you don't even know what to call it! I just tell myself I'm keeping it fun...unpacking will be like Christmas...not knowing what's in each box til you open it!
