1. Because you will put on a Curious George DVD in an attempt to occupy your child long enough to pack some things. Said child will somehow find a Sharpie that was accidentally left around and decide to decorate your quilt that your deceased grandmother made for you. And the Sharpie Company isn't kidding when they advertise that whole permanent thing.
2. Because no matter how much you pack, your things still seem to multiply like mogwais who have gotten wet and/or eaten after midnight.
3. Because after your child marks up your quilt, he will then decide to get into your jewelry and lose one of your diamond earrings...the ones you wore on your wedding day that you planned to pass on to a daughter or granddaughter. Yes, those.
4. Because your husband will be required to go out of town for work the week of the move. He won't be back until the day you sign the closing papers. This means you watch an almost 2-year-old while packing up the rest of the things. It's not pretty. Not at all.
If you're like me, you're reading this and thinking, "Well, if she has so much to do, why is she blogging?" The answer is---I have no idea. I have been informed that we will probably live in the new house until we die thereby avoiding all this hassle a 2nd time. Let's hope we're happy there.
In all seriousness, we're incredibly fortunate and really excited. I'm just a touch overwhelmed, and I needed to whine a little. Wah.
