It feels like we've been boxing up our house since June. Oh..lol..I have! We had to box up loads of stuff to get our home ready to show. That stuff we got to take to storage. Out of sight out of mind. Then we took a little break and spent 2-3 months keeping the house in tip-top shape. A lot of work with 3 kids and life in general, but really nice. A little time to do prep for the new baby. Then we sold the house and all semblance of order fell apart. There are boxes stacked everywhere. Even if, between packing, Christmas-ing, and the baby, I wanted to vacuum I couldn't. I can't find enough floor space to justify the effort. Jeff and I were talking about it. He blamed the messiness on the kids. With good reason. They had left school stuff out and toys and coloring stuff, etc. But, as I pointed out to him, take away the boxes and there wasn't much mess left to complain about.
Yesterday I had a goal to get as much of the kitchen done as was reasonable. With the help of Cami-a big check! The other goal I had was to get my craft room all packed up. I made decent progress, but ended up finishing this morning. Of all the packed up spaces, right now this is my favorite. It's stacked neatly, and the floor is vacuumed. There is order. (Excuse the laundry. That's the next batch in line.)
Now imagine the exact opposite of this room and you have the rest of the house. ;)

Good luck with the packing. It's hard to get everything organized and put away when you still have to live there. I think it is one of my least favorite jobs. Hope all goes well with the move to your new house!
