So far I have packed 31 boxes of household items and 29 boxes of books. I’m not even close to being done.

Chloe asked me yesterday if three months are a long time. (She was thinking of packing all her toys). I said, “Well, yes and no.” It’s not a long time to get an entire household packed up, sorted through, house sold, and possessions moved. It would be a very long time for the girls to not have any of their toys available or to eat off of paper plates.

This is the dilemma of packing – it’s got to be done and it needs to be started now. But we still need so much of it in order to function for the next three months. I need Mary Poppins to move in…
