Continued from yesterday..
About.com says this is the most stressful period and I could not agree more. Well, it is probably the reason why I started searching the web about moving and realizing I should have started 6 weeks ago to run this smoothly.. And as they say here, "what to do?"
So here goes the remaining weeks.
2 weeks before we move
The checklist includes:
__disposal of all chemical stored in the house. In my cabinets, I have insect spray which I almost never used at all, ant powder for these pests are just everywhere year in and out, wax for cleaning and mostly cleansers for the toilet and kitchen. I will be disposing the ant powder and insect spray soon. As for the cleaning agents, I prefer to keep them until the last day as I love to keep the bathrooms squeaky clean and odor-free.
__ start eating everything in the pantry and fridge. Now, this is quite a struggle as my husband keeps buying food and we keep eating out these days due to the many meetings and errands, we get caught on the road while running errands and have to eat out. People here are afraid of starvation! Ha!
__ continue packing. I am still sorting and not really packing yet. The shipper would come next week with all their paraphernalia and that is when serious packing begins ;-).
Today, we had our read-alouds, biblical worldview and writing exercises. Hmm, I am not quite happy with our distraction these days but then, who says that moving is such a cinch?
