The Flower Girl

Today is moving day !!  Technically today is packing day and tomorrow is moving day but at this point its all the same.  Moving is hard, hard work.  I had forgotten since I haven't had to do it in 13 1/2 years.  And in 13 1/2 years we have acquired a lot of stuff.  I started out strong this morning, packing box after box.  I am on number 33 now.  (  Yes, I am numbering the boxes. Why, I really am not sure! It makes me feel more in control of all this chaos if I know how many boxes there are. )  But for the last couple of hours I have fizzled out.  I should be on box 50 by now, but it didn't happen.  Do you want to know what did happen ?  Let's see, I took a nap... A little nap and only because I had a pounding headache. Then I fixed me some coffee hoping that would help my headache.  What else have I done, oh yes I straightened my hair and freshened up my makeup because that is so important on packing day.  And right now I am typing this post.  Okay fine, I am procrastinating just a tiny bit.  Its just there is SO much to do in such a short amount of time.  I understand why the kids act the way they do when we make them do their homework !  I shall be more sensitive to their plight from now on !  ( I actually just looked up plight in the dictionary to make sure I was using it correctly, I think it works ! )  I better go paint my nails before the hubs gets home.  I don't know if he is going to appreciate a fresh manicure with all the work still left to do, but I am willing to give it a go !
