I've always thought I liked moving. But I don't think so. I'm totally over it.
Maybe it's the country music I'm blasting this morning that's making me feel all blue-sy, or maybe it's that every time I turn around THERE'S MORE TO BE DONE. Will it never end?
So I grew up with my mother chanting "Do everything without arguing and complaining" to me and my sister. And generally, I agree with the sentiment. In fact, I repeat it to my own girls every single darn day. (I mean, you can't really go wrong with the Bible, now can you?)
Anyway, today I want to argue. And complain.
But I'm all alone in the house with boxes more to go before I sleep and you're all I've got. So...
argue, argue, argue
complain, complain, complain
I'm off to go sing along with Wynonna and heft some more boxes. And not think about the fact that once we get to Phoenix one week from today they all have to be unpacked again. Nope, not gonna think about that.
That's all. Carry on with your day.
Switch from Wynonna to Kirk Franklin. ;) It'll make it feel like it is going faster, even if it's not.

Friend, you need to change the channel... I'm with Kimberly. :0)

I wish I could come over and help you pack. It's always more fun to pack up/clean someone else's stuff than your own.
However, Yahoo Maps says I'm about 1,055 miles away so...not gonna happen.
Good luck and definitely change the music!

I agree with Kimberly and Holly - change that channel! Kirk Franklin's "Stomp" does come to mind. And I appreciate Nicole's sentiment. I love to help others at my church move, but can't stand to pack my own stuff.
Still with my Mom in SC. Won't be long now. She was talking to someone in the room earlier today. Someone I couldn't see. But she had things to say. Only a few ounces of fluid each day. But oh, how God is showing his hand in everything. I'm sitting in anticipatory grief and amazement at the authority of God.
Peace,

I am really not good with change, and moving is something that even though it may be a good thing - causes me great stress (and migraines). I am extremely sentimental - and moving always makes me a little sad. Just keep remembering that God is doing something in this - and focus instead on that! (Easier said than done, I know)

Moving is very difficult and stressful. Hopefully it will be easier unpacking. There's not really a deadline for completely unpacking, right?
