5 Things Everyone Needs to Know About Moving

I forgot how much I hate moving, until last weekend.  New places and faces don’t bother me so  much. . . it’s the packing and unpacking.  It’s the realization that, well, I have WAY too MUCH junk. 

1. Give away/throw away the things you don’t need BEFORE you move. ( Emphasis on BEFORE because I dropped the ball on that one)

2. Don’t move in the heat of summer (yep I messed that up too…sweaty mmm)

3. When buying new furniture remember that your bank just might put a daily limit on your debit card (and they’re closed on Sunday)

4. Eat some chocolate and have a cup of coffee (it really helps the feeling of being overwhelmed when looking at all of the boxes that still have to be unpacked)

5. Be careful when unpacking boxes packed by husband…you never know what you might find (ex: this morning when I went to make my coffee I found a moldy filter. It was like a plant was growing out of my coffee machine. . .I guess Converse Boy made coffee and then packed the coffee maker. Who needs to wash it out right?
