The Move!

I'm finally able to take a few moments to do a post. I spent all last week packing boxes. Have you ever noticed at the start of the packing process things are quite orderly? Items that should be packed together are truly packed together. Books are taken off the shelf to be packed together in a box appropriately labeled. However, as the packing progresses things start getting thrown into the nearest available box. I refer to that as "go-time". Before you know it's "go-time": scissors, sharpie pens, a drinking glass, a few spoons, and a camera battery charger all are put in one tiny box with no label because the sharpie just got packed too. Go-time!

How did the boys do? Simon was nervous most of last week. He seemed to grow more and more nervous as the boxes took over. Cody was a happy-go-lucky little puggie all week long. He had no concerns related to the pending move! There was one funny moment where Cody was swinging his toy around and he hit a box. He then moved up a little and proceeded to swing his toy only to bump into another box. He wasn't ready to give up though he then moved back and to the side a few steps and started swinging again....he was successful that time!

On Saturday the situation with the movers coming was a little hairy! However, all was worked out rather quickly and our stuff got moved to the new place. I'm extremely proud of myself that my stress level never got out of whack! Moving is stressful but with this move I promised myself I would do my best to keep my stress level in check.

The new apartment is still quite a mess. Boxes all around! However, I pointed out to my boyfriend that even with the boxes all around there's still a lot more room to move about. Unlike the other apartment! Towards the end of last week the boys and I had very few paths to walk from room to room as the boxes were beginning to take over.
