Packing, packing, packing

It's moving time at our house. We were supposed to close and start moving this weekend, but the sellers representatives have not finished the task list that needed to be done before closing. They were supposed to do three things - find a property marker, install two new toilets, and dig up the well holding tank, fix the crack, and reseal the entire thing. The holding tank is the only thing they have left to do, and because of it's location, it has to be hand dug. They are supposed to do the work on Monday, get a re-inspection on Tuesday, and then we should be able to close on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm hoping for Wednesday.

In the meantime, we are continuing to pack boxes, and boxes, and boxes. We spent a few hours today cleaning out the garage, and loading more boxes into our moving trailer, and actually throwing things away and putting things in a donation box. I'm trying very hard to get rid of things, but that's not always easy for me. I'm too darn sentimental.

Tonight we worked on the pantry after the kids went to bed. I've got a lot in my pantry, but it makes me feel good to know that I've got plenty of food to feed my family in the case of an emergency. I had lots of boxes of Mac and Cheese, so I guess the next thing I need to stock up on is powdered milk and water, and I've got it made!
