For those of you who are either moving into your first house or on to your next, you've definitely had these thoughts and experiences in the last week or will in the future when you move. It's a crazy time to say the least.
1. Staring at all your crap in awe of how much crap you have.
Whether you're packing up or unloading, we've all taken a good five minutes to do this and been genuinely shocked. Can we think about this for a second though? When did we accumulate all of this? Like seriously?
2. Stalling.
It's amazing the creativity we all of a sudden have when we want to avoid packing and unpacking. There's a number of things I don't like doing but when it comes to moving I'd rather do all of them instead.
3. Packing.
Normal people sort there things out and pack in an orderly manner. Nope, not me. The box isn't full until you literally cant cram anything else into it.
4. Wanting to get everything done because you're tired of living out of boxes.
After tripping over boxes for a few days (or hours) this rush of wanting to be productive and get everything unpacked sets in.
5. Getting tired of being productive.
So one box gets unpacked and then I'm pretty much over it. Like five minutes ago I was all for this but now I just want to take a nap that lasts all of eternity.
6. Realizing you haven't eaten all day and feeling like you're going to die.
"Oh it's 8 p.m. and we've been moving since 6 a.m.? Whoops!" Oh so that wasn't someone moving furniture that was just my stomach.
7. The first trip to Walmart.
Everything...I need EVERYTHING. Until I get up to the register and realize just how expensive everything is. HAVE A GAME PLAN
8. The multiple trips to Walmart for the things you keep forgetting.
My goal currently is to see how many days I can avoid going to Walmart. So far I've lasted a full zero days.
9. Realizing just how big or small your house is.
Either you have way too much stuff and it doesn't fit or your house looks like you just got robbed.
10. Feeling rich for like five seconds until you pay rent.
It was a great feeling while it lasted right? (I might have held on to that check a little tighter than I should have. It's fine. I'm fine. We're fine.)
11. Scanning buy sell trade pages for all the things you need but are too broke to afford.
Or doing the opposite and trying to sell anything and everything to get some extra cash.
12. The feeling of laying down for the first time after moving all day.
HEAVENLY ... seriously.
