Getting Lost in a Sea of Boxes...

OH MY GOODNESS!  It doesn't seem like anything is going to get finished and I have been working my patootie off for two weeks now!  Of all the spaces in our house, I can honestly say that Charlotte's room/closet; the master bedroom closet; the living & dining room; and the coat closet are nearly ready to go!  But this still leaves Kev's office (by that I mean geeky junk room), our master bedroom, the bathrooms (I think these will be easy, I'm not sweating over them); the pantry & kitchen; and the rest of the garage (it's at least half done).

We are throwing/giving things away left and right - it's amazing how much you can accumulate in 2 short years...I suppose that it doesn't help that Kevin is a damn-near hoarder.  Yes, you heard right, that boy collects, collects, collects seemingly USELESS stuff!  But I have doled out his punishment quite effectively methinks!  I'm making him pack and sort all of HIS things...(insert maniacal laugh here).

Even though it all seems overwhelming, I'm not stressing too much - because I feel like everything WILL get done - without us having to rush towards the end.

And we have our tentative route mapped out - sort of...

First stop is Boise, ID - where we will hopefully be staying with one of Kevin's step-Aunt's.
Next is Billings, MT
Then Mitchell, SD
Janesville, WI
Cleveland, OH
And last, but not least, a 630 trip to good ol' Storrs, CT!

Of course, we'll be doing some little sightseeing stuff along the way - definitely Mt. Rushmore, the Corn Palace, a touch of West Yellowstone, and Niagara Falls...

Now, enough writing - I have to get back to working...

(Don't judge...this picture was taken a week ago - the pile has grown EXPONENTIALLY)!!
