Over the last 24 hours our lives have changed. We are now of no fixed abode, we are owners of fewer possessions and we are reveling in our new status as nomads as we hurtle down the I95 toward Cape Cod.
Travel snack pack from Irish Lass
It’s hard to imagine that just this time yesterday we were swimming in a sea of bubble wrap and packing tape. Nerves fraying faster than the bottom of overpacked boxes.
Little Baby O summarizes exactly how we feel
They say life teaches you lessons everyday. Here’s what I learnt:
- Moving isn’t fun. It is a temporary form of hell (sort of like a six day root canal). But everything will be okay…eventually.
- It is well worth the extra two seconds to put the scissors, tape and fat marker pen back in the same place after use. Playing the ‘where the *fudge* is the <insert item here>’ game quickly wears thin.
- If in doubt, throw it out.
Even after a big cull we have more stuff than we need
Here’s what English Hubby took away from the experience:
- It’s a bad idea to schedule a long overdue check up with the dermatologist on the same afternoon as moving and vacating the apartment.
- A hungry wife with screaming baby who just had a daiper blowout is a lethal combo.
- Staying hydrated is important.
At the end of the day there weren’t too many casualties, plant life excluded.
Thankfully the only casualties
As dear friend, Irish Lass, wisely counselled – This is just one day which will all be a distant memory very soon. You will soon look back on it and laugh.
And we’re ready to leave
