8 days till I barf... er... close... on my house... yeah
So.
The boxes are stacking up. Progress is being made. Kind of.
And I think that I must have the worst case of ADD ever. I pack part of a box; I go to look for something that will fit just right into the space that appears (out of no where, I swear), and, lo and behold, I start another damn box with the thing that will fit in the space of the other box. Then I leave and go another room and start yet another box with items that will definitely not work in the boxes that I've begun in the other room. Then I stop in the middle/get interrupted/etc., and then I forget what it was I was doing. ...grrr...
Chaos. Absolute chaos! I'm usually much more organized. It's got to be the nervousness of wondering what the hell is going to happen to us once we get down to Florida. Everything (except the fact that our house is no longer ours after the 23rd) is up in the air at this point. But we both know that we want to leave Kentucky, and we think that we aren't supposed to be up here. Where we end up is up to God. And the money we get when we close will also decide. It will work out. I just don't know how it will and that's what has me so nervous.
We went down to Florida last weekend to look at homes that will allow our babies. Just as soon as we get the paperwork back from the realtor down there, we'll have made good progress. I can hardly wait to be below the frost line (though it did freeze a few weeks ago, but I wasn't there, so I don't think it counts.)
Wash, rinse, repeat... *insert crazy laugh here*
