You know how it is, with moving. There are cabinets and nooks and boxes of things that never get opened and never get used. YET - the SECOND you take THAT box of stuff to the new house, or clean out that ONE cabinet - then you suddenly need everything in it.
I took all of the medicines and first aid supplies to the new house. We rarely need that stuff, surely we can wait a few weeks to have them at our disposal. Plus, it’s something that can be put up BEFORE painting because we aren’t painting the inside of the bathroom cabinets.
Of course, this week, MrZ develops a cold/sinus infection and I get my leg sliced by one of our dogs while they were playing and using me as a fortress to hide behind. So MrZ is all stuffy with no medicines to take and I have a six inch gash on my shin that is gangrenous and painful and my leg will have to be amputated since I had no alcohol to clean it with.
We’re just a mess. Times twenty.
We’re also finding “uses” for things we haven’t touched in years, JUST BECAUSE it is NOW in the yard sale pile. LilZoot decided he wanted all of his rainbow stuffed animals he started collecting when he broke his arm in 2000. MrZ has decide the stereo he got me five years ago, which we haven’t gotten out of the closet in three years, is now EXACTLY what he needs for his “work area” in the garage. I’m looking at size 2 blue jeans I havent been able to fit into in two years and thinking “AFTER THE BABY! I SWEAR!”
Yep. We have succeeded in making the moving process as much of a pain in the ass as humanly possible. Would you like us to come help you when you move?
I wear flip-flops to work all the time. But not today, as it is raining. And moving? Is always a pain in the ass. Of course, I’ve never moved into my own house…
I’ll be wearing flip flops all next week while i’m on that stupid cruise!
Size 2! I’ve never been so lucky
I slept through sizes 0-4. I was a size 6 once during a bout of anorexia (the doctor told me to put on weight. it was weird).
But people around here are wearing flipflips around here now, even though it’s freezing cold, because, “It’s SPRING, dammit!”
Hugs to you and the boys and I hope moving gets easier.
We’ll pitch in anyway we can. I love wearing flip-flops! They are my favorite shoe and Target always has such a nice selection.
My hubby and I are terrible packrats. About 90% of the stuff we have stuffed away could be yard sale fodder, but will it be? NO. It has a HIGHER purpose elsewhere in life
PS - I hope that you guys feel better. I have a great first aid kit in the van you can raid anytime you need to amputate that gangrenous leg of yours
size two? i’m so jealous!!!
i’ve been wearing flip flops since, um, like january…tee hee!
Miss Zoot, if it makes you feel any better, I just dragged all my size 2’s that I haven’t fit into in close to 5 years to a teeny tiny apartment where I barely have room to sneeze. I hid them in the back of our storage closet from my fiance, who would surely make fun of me if he knew I was dragging them around. (Not that he’s one to talk–he snuck a little plastic toy batting helmet and a can of Coke that’s a “collector’s item” into the moving pile, so everyone has their weaknesses..)
This sounds like every single move I’ve ever packed for. Even telling myself “I won’t let it be as bad as last time” never works. Here’s hoping you have a wildly successful yard sale!
If we ever move, I’m hiring you!
Reading this reminds me of how much I hate moving! I moved one time 8 1/2 months pregnant, so I feel for you! Good luck with everything and enjoy home ownership…..which means never having to move again!
Size 2?? My left big toe wouldn’t fit into a size 2!!
Size 2? I so hate you!
Seriously, I hope your cut heals soon and Mr Z feels better soon too!
