Not motivated
I have got to get serious about packing. Really. Now that we've made it past spring break and Keith being gone, and the busy weekend, I need to be packing and cleaning every day. I was doing pretty good before spring break, and I was feeling motivated, but now, not so much. I'm tired, it's rainy, and the kids are home from school today(some kind of professional day or conferences). It doesn't exactly make for a productive day. We are planning on listing our house in two weeks!! That is so scary! I'm starting to realize that I'm avoiding everything about moving, from getting the house ready, to finding a new congregation. I like the idea of the new house and the fact that Keith will be 15 minutes from work, but other than that, I'm not looking forward to it. It's funny that I'm dreading something that I've willingly chosen to do. I guess that's the way it is with big decisions like this, there's good and bad. I know that at the end of the summer when we move into our new house, that it will all be worth it, but sometimes it's hard to see that. Well, I guess I better go get started on something.

We're moving?
Nobody told me about this.
Building and moving are two of the most overwhelming things a family can do. Don't beat yourself up about the lack of motivation.
Something I've tried when I have too much on my plate...make a ridiculously extensive list of everything you need to do. Put a date beside it by which it must be done. Break major tasks into smaller duties. For instance, don't write pack kids' rooms, but write sort through kids' linens, pack Legos, etc.
Promise to cross one thing off each day. You will be surprised at how it motivates you, especially when you have time to complete several jobs in a single day.
(This has been most helpful to us when we make the list together.)
Sorry for the long comment. Hope it helps!
Hey, baby, I think I can drive to you and help you pack, clean, or dream. It is so difficult moving but when it is voluntary, good things will come. I remember how difficult it was for us to get moved from Winchester to here. If it had not been for Jim and Dava I think we would still be moving! Just let me know a good day for you and I will be there.
