What was I thinking!?!

I consider myself to be a fairly organized individual. So when I was packing up the house there were some things I felt I "had to have" at the apartment (and yes I was without for a year. I figured they would fit. Well let me just say that I thought my van had expandable walls. (Carla had asked me if my van had an extended back.) And I was certain the apartment did! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! It doesn't fit! Well at least not they way I thought it would. Still a work in progress. I think I will be rearranging until school begins as I need to get everything in order so we have no delays for the start of school. Most of the books have arrived. I still need to get Stephen's science ordered.

I will be back to Ohio in about 1-2 months to pick up the next van load. And let me just say what another load it will be. The kids were smushed. Stephen had to ride in the front. The young ones had stuff packed all around, behind, and underneath them. I must say how very shocked I was that it went as well as it did. We left about 2 hours later than I originally planned. Which meant we got home about 11:00 pm. I was very concerned about resting/sleeping. As I know it is never a good thing when they cannot get comfortable they whinge constantly. This momma doesn't do that!!! I lose my patience very quickly when that sound erupts.

This the view of the van from the front seat.

This was the laundry room in Ohio during loading.

If I could only remember to take the pictures in stages you would really get a better appreciation of all that really happened. Suzanne is amazing. She spent most of Friday afternoon and evening with me going through things! She has moved waaaay too many times but fortunately I had a better experience thanks to her woes.

I think after this month I could definitely become a professional organizer for people. I have switched around, reorganized spaces, and decluttered more than I can count. And as I said before there will be more of that happening here. I am a fanatic about things in their places!
