5 weeks! That's all the time we have left here. I debate with myself whether to bother having a garage sale. Our new house doesn't have nearly as much storage as our current house. Nor is it as big. I don't want everything to be stored in the basement! So I'm debating whether to really go through the house and get rid of things I just don't need. It all sounds good, but its a matter of finding time to do it! With trying to finish up school and all the other normal daily things the last thing I feel like doing is sorting through everything!
I cannot wait to get out of here. Sure, I will miss my wonderful homeschool support groups. They were the ones who saw me get started in this endeavor, the ones who cheered me on. Tonight one of the groups is having my good-bye dinner. They do this for every woman that leaves and its such a special time. It really seems unreal that I'm leaving these wonderful groups- I wish I could take them with me! But I know God has new friends and groups in store for us.
I still want to go to Mobile and the beach one last time. I always tease Zach that I want to stay at the Beau Rivage before we go. I'm not one to gamble and I really don't like the thought of giving my money to a casino. This place is beautiful though, and a night away from our children sounds heavenly- not to gamble but to enjoy a beautiful room with a beautiful view. Don't worry- it won't happen as we don't have the money or sitter to make it happen! And I'm sure there are other beautiful places that aren't casinos that we'll one day be able to stay at, hopefully alone!
Time is running short. Hard to believe. I keep thinking I need to bake and use up a lot of my baking goods. I need to cook with some of the foods I have in there so I don't have to haul it all. I need to light candles more so I won't have to transport them. On top of that, I need to get our Suburban fixed ($5,000 worth of damage). Oh, and I still have to find a doctor or midwife! So as you can see life is busy (as I sit here at the computer). Plus I have friends I'd like to get together with before I leave, playdates I'd love to have, etc. But the final countdown is nice. The end is in sight. Corn fields and tornadoes here we come!!! I will be able to eat the foods I've been craving since we left there!!! We will have our brand new house to make a home! I cannot wait.

5 weeks really isn't that much time! Yikes! Good luck!
Wow! It's going to fly with how busy you'll be. I'd try for a garage sale if you're up for it....it's so liberating to get rid of "extra" stuff...especially if you won't have the room for it in the new place. And you find that you don't even miss it! Good luck with all the "last minute" stuff!
When we moved I got rid of stuff as I packed...then when we got to our new apartment I realized that I STILL had too much stuff and we made SEVERAL trips to the Salvation Army...we didn't have a rummage sale because we weren't sure we could do it living at an apartment. Most stuff we got rid of before we moved we just hauled out to the curb. We didn't have time for a rummage sale before we left! We were still packing the day we got the moving truck! :) LOL
And we don't miss most of what we got rid of (except for our DVR!) :)
I'm right there with ya sistah. I did do the dreaded garage sale though. First in years. Don't look forward to another one anytime soon :o)
Love,
Missy
