Packing. The Worst part of moving?

I think the worst part of moving is the packing part. Normally when we have moved we know what day we are moving, but this time we have no clue, as it will depended on the weather so the foundation can be finished and then the set crew getting in there to get it done. And we have ran into I am not sure what it is yet, so I will wait for another post to get into that.

I am trying to get a jump start on the packing. So when everything is finally done, all we have is the kitchen left to pack and a few things from the bedrooms and what clothes we don't pack away. Temperatures have dropped so we can safety pack up the summer clothes. Photo Albums, nick knacks, decor, basically anything we don't need for basic survival is being packed away.

And posting these photos I noticed I need to sweep the floor again, the pain of having 5 animals you are always sweeping floors. Every single room except the kitchen and bathrooms are half packed or nearly half packed. I also have some boxes that need to be loaded up and donated. It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate without realizing it. I also have been finding a ton of things that I am like why hasn't someone thrown this away yet? Like seriously am I the only one who ever throws anything out in my house.

Progress is being done slowly but surly. I have to say though being able to pack over a couple of months slowly has saved my back a lot of pain. I am nearly done with all the stuff that isn't necessary to run my home. I plan to finish that up this weekend. So when we get told we will get the keys we can arrange the moving van, and get the last of the stuff packed away.

We are leaving some of our items at the curb when we move. Because we don't want to move them again. Like our couch and loveseat. It is really heavy. I loved it when we bought it, but that love was shorted lived when just over a year later we had to move, and have moved 3 times since. We don't plan to move again, but I hate that furniture mainly because it is so heavy that I can't move it to clean under it. So we are leaving it behind.

We haven't decided what furniture we are going to get yet, but it will be smaller than what we have now, it will not have reclining seats either like the seat we have now does. It will be easier to move to clean under and behind it. I found a few pieces that will work at a couple of places but it still isn't what I really want. I am afraid they don't make what I am looking for anymore. So I might end up settling.
