Panic!!!!

The other night I had a dream that the move date was moved to June, rather than at the end of year. My heart was racing and panic set in. June is just right around the corner!

It was just a dream.
           Thankfully it was just a dream.....





A dream that's set the tone for the last couple days. I know I have MONTHS until we move, but now I have this sense of urgency I can't shake. I talked to Wes about it and he offered no comfort. He said that could POSSIBLY happen as he COULD have to report earlier than expected, but he doubts it. Thanks babe... thanks.... It is the Army after all

I've since created a list in my planner of things that will have to be handled before we leave. That list includes:

• Renew drivers licenses (both of ours expire while we will be gone)
• Pay vehicle registrations in advance
• Update voting info
• Gather kids' school records
• Immunization records for everyone
• Update resume (Me)
• Check into leasing management companies
• Open new bank account (we currently use a local one only)
• Look into storage units & decide what is coming and what can stay

That list continues to grow the more I stew over it. It makes my heart palpitate just thinking about it....

Thankfully Wes is fully on board about getting stuff ready. Just last weekend we went through and conquered his garage. It took all afternoon Sunday. Luckily it was pretty organized as we did that last summer, but there was definitely a lot of stuff we decided to put into our garage sale pile. There was also a lot that hit our trash pile. It felt good to know that I'm not the only one seeing the impending "doom" in our future (all jokes aside, we are both excited). 

I also "conquered" the kids' clothes. Mason tends to be a clothes hoarder and he had a TON of clothes we boxes up for Darik to grow into- probably more than we kept, yet his drawers are still full. There was also a good pile of stuff we cleared out of the girls' room. It felt good to mark stuff off my to-do list. 

We currently have three garage-sale piles growing. One of them is in the garage for all the big items; one of them is in an obscure corner in one of our living rooms for all the household oddities, and the last one is in my laundry room for all the clothes, shoes and the like. They are all growing fast! It's amazing how much crap you accumulate in 5 years! It feels good to purge all of it!

I've got to learn to quit worrying. There's no need to worry now. I'm just going to conquer what I can and worry later on. I've got plenty of time for that later on... right?!
