adulting is HARD

[robinsnest]

I'm competely overwhelmed by the amount of packing, moving, cleaning, painting...and my go to reaction when overwhelmed is to ostrich and pretend it doesn't exist. As I'm a GREAT adult. and I'm trying really hard to make myself get up and pack, but Aunt Flo also stopped by and I just feel horrid so I want to curl up in a ball with a heating pad EXTRA bad.

I NEED AN ADULT! Or you know a moving crew, cleaning lady and a butt load of midol.

So far of the house list of things we wanted to do before moving in the house I have pulled down a lot of ugly wall paper, planted peas and..thought about paint colors...I'm horrible at this moving thing. Can I blame working 12 hour days?

Moving is a big deal and not much fun. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

I know those feelings, one of the reasons why I tend to try to avoid moving. It IS overwhelming sometimes. And working 12 hour days doesn't mean you have a whole lotta time or energy to deal with it all.

It will all happen. Probably not the way you'd like it to (it never does), but it will happen.

Just remember, you've got your own house! *squees* And it's an adventure!

I've moved probably about 20+ times in my life. Be glad you don't have a moving crew. I've never used them because the few times my parents did when I was little, I had either all my toys - save the few I packed with me for the car trip- stolen or all my favorite things broken. Back in the early 90's our VCR suddenly became a brick when we moved. We also mysteriously lost half the antique books from my Dad's library (passed down from my great granny who was an author) and many other things. You can't trust people you really don't even know to come into your house and take care of your valuable things.

Living social and Angie's list are always having house cleaning deals. Most are about $99 or so for the average house.

To me, painting is fun! Get the sample size paints and see what you like. I have a home goods thrift store near me that sells paint for $5 for a gallon - see if you have a habitat for humanity store near you as they often have similar deals like that.

Well, the only thing I'm capable of doing after working 12-hour days is flopping on the sofa, so you're already doing a lot!

Have I even congratulated you on the new house? I feel like I haven't "spoken" to you in a while! So if I haven't, congrats!
