Here’s some advice.

Moving is stupid. Don’t do it. Unless you want to end up lying on your carpet on your back trying to blow up an inflatable mat, because all the beds are moved and you don’t have the right inflator thingy.

You may also find yourself contemplating setting things on the various lawns of your neighborhood, just to get rid of them. Or at least putting garbage in the trashcans of your neighbors. And you will ask yourself whether the local thrift store accepts condiment donations. And you will cry, but not really. You will threaten to cry, but then nobody will rescue you because surprise! You’re the Mom! Lucky you.

So stay put, people. Just stay where you are. And when you think to yourself, maybe it would be fun to go somewhere, remind yourselves that it’s actually just a not-good idea. And you’d better just take a walk around the block.

One word…freecycle.

Seriously I have seen people offer the craziest things and seen other people jump at the chance to have them.

Thanks for the advice, and here we are planning on moving to Victoria in 2 months! Yuck! Want to but don’t want to do the packing!

I have been itching to move but maybe a walk is a good idea. I wish I was taking some of the load from you. In another life I would have all the time in the world to pack along side you and help in every way. I am going to miss you.

I hear you, I hate moving, too:o) By the way, you look gorgeous pregnant, and your kids are beautiful! I can’t wait to see pics of the newest bambino! I had a little girl two months ago, her name is Rowena Ysabelle, and the kids just love her, and want me to have more…we’ll see. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and wish you all the luck with moving. Take care.
