We're packing to move. I always say I never want to move again but I guess that's not in the cards for me. I must be part gypsy. Have you ever noticed that when you start packing, your stuff just seems to multiply? You're trying to get everything into boxes but the more you pack the messier the rooms start to look. Then you get frustrated because it just seems to get worse and there's no end in sight. I wish there were packing elves or fairies that would just do it for us overnight..lol. Anyone know how to make it go smoother?

i know what you mean about part gypsy. when i was a kid we moved like every 3 months or even more. i hated it. as an adult i moved about 1 time a year until the last 3 years. we have been here for 3 years now. i always found the easiest way to do it was start in one room in one spot and work my way around that room till i got to the middle. oh make sure house is clean to start with lol. i mark the boxes what room it goes in etc too. leave them in that room. when that room is done go to the next. when you start moving boxes into the truck think about your new place like which room is the farthest from the door and which is closest. what ever room is the closest is the room that gets int he truck first so that the room that is the farest is in last and when you got to unload you dont have to walk around boxes to get to the room that it belongs in and it makes it easier to find things. if you are moving one room at a time same concept just moved the farthest room first. when you are boxing try to stick everything boxed up against the wall so that you dont have to walk around them to get to the door etc. good luck hun. i hate moving too. things seem to appear that you didnt know you have. you relize how much crapppppp you have gotten. lol
