So Amy you're "supervising" the packing??? sounds to me like you're "not" packing.... get going girl.... just pick one small area at a time and it won't be as overwhelming....

[iamgrumpy]

I am packing just last night it was the breakables and mom doesn't trust me near her china... but today I have started packing my clothes that are not needed, and I am packing up my extra bedding, as well as my PS2, and all my cd's, radio/stereo system.

The laptop has to stay out its going in the car, and well, how can i update this tr if i don't have it.... soooooo that will be staying out!

The Wii gets packed this weekend, after the fight to get it hooked up I rather wait till last minute to unplug it so that it doesn't Dissappear while we are getting ready (ie my father try and take it...yes he would do that).

Sounds like you're getting there Amy.

So after I posted last I have been very productive, just taking a short break as I was getting over heated.

I packed up my entire Desk, organized all my important papers, and boxed up about 1/3 of my clothes, all of my books, and 1/2 of the beanies I have of Mickey, and Disney Characters. The rest get packed tonight!

I am washing the last of my clothes and will be packing all but what I need for the next week or so! The rest go into bags to be packed up.

This would be easier if it wasn't a billion degrees in my room (in the winter loved the over abundance of heat that flows into my room since my room is heating 2 others) but in the summer, the fact that my room is extra insulated, and since I am petrified of bugs my windows stay closed. (my own fault) its roasting!

But my fan is going so it isn't too bad! I just have to figure out how I am going to pack my desktop computer since we don't have the box it came in anymore I don't want the monitor to break or the cpu!

Packing is NOT fun!

It'll get there Amy

[DawnDenise]

Just getting all caught up on your packing adventures and driving plans! I so feel you in regards to packing. I so remember the endless days of packing before we moved here.

Sounds like you are getting a great deal done today so kudos to you!!

Glad you are able to sneak away for some fun with a PP friend once you get there!

Just look at it this way: You're in training for adaptation to Florida weather.

So my latest update....


My room is 97% done!!! The only thing that has to be packed into a box is my desktop computer, my pillows, my mattress padding that looks like an egg carton and the last few dirty clothes that I have to do.

The rest of the clothes have been seperated and packed properly! So all that is left is the dirty clothes really, and the clothes i have to wear right now!

There was so much allergens in my room that i am sitting here typing with a coldpack on my eyes to try and get the puffyness down and to cool them off a little.

We did get our Relocubes ordered today, they will be delievered to us on Friday between 8am and Noon. So we can start loading things into them and we will have to be finished by the 17th!

So much to do so little time!

Well, it sounds like you getting some packing done! That's a good thing! It will go well now that you got started good today!

[Luvsun]

Whew! You are working hard! Good girl!
I love the cottage style of your apartments! So cute!
Your plans sound great - I think driving is the way to go!
My vote is to stay at a Disney resort! I mean, after all..............
with the rest of your packing!

[chezp]

Wow, you have made a lot of progress since I last checked in here - go girl!

I would get a big tote to pack it in...use your extra blankets and sheets to wrap around them to give them padding so that they don't break. Then you will have two things packed into one thing.

Great progress, Amy! How's your knee holding up with all the lifting? I hope you have help lined up when you move the boxes into the relocubes.

That's what DH and I did with our desktop. We got the biggest rubbermaid container at Wally World and just surrounded it with blankets and towels. Work perfectly! We then used the tote for storage of other things after we moved.

Congrats on getting your room practically finished!
