Packers and Movers and Boxes and Caos

(posted Jan 28, 2018)

Oh my word. I got a call one night around 7 from the moving company verifying that the packers would be showing up at 8am the next day. I said ok and in a bit of shock, asked Jer again what day they packers were coming over. He said it wasn't until two more days. I told him they would be at our place in the morning so he checked his schedule. Yep. Too many dates to keep track off. That's kindof a huge deal since we hadn't set aside any of our belongings that we didn't want them to pack (they pack everything and they pack FAST) Plus we hadn't gone through anything to prep for the packers.  It cause a whirlwind of panic since we had to set things aside that we would need during the time we would build our house. Everything else would be packed in a storage unit for X amount of time. Really I wished we could just keep everything with us (they boys have brand new birthday toys they barely played with and haven't seen for 1.5 years!)  So we put the boys to bed right away and stayed up so late organizing and getting things ready.

They showed up the next morning and packed for a day and half then left us in a mountains of stinky cardboard boxes to live with over the weekend since the movers wouldn't show up until monday {eye roll} No kitchen. No beds. Craziness. And and entire house that we opted to clean ourselves and pocket the money vs. pay a cleaning company to handle. Ya, we procrastinated, but I am so glad we don't have to go through that again!






When you have big brothers...
