Thank you to the kind person who offered to help move boxes before or after work. But...um...now that you've seen this, how happy are you that I said "No, thanks, you're nice to offer though"?
My very kind co-worker wrote me this email today:
I can help with your move on Friday or Saturday, all day or any time of day (either your previous home or your new home). My specialites:
1. Check off box numbers as the movers move them out or in.
2. Unpack boxes, especially kitchen stuff
3. Make beds, make sandwiches.
4. Take kids/dog to the beach for some fun.
Clearly, she is fabulous and wonderful, and has NO IDEA what I'm like when I'm not in the office. Numbered boxes...hahahahahahaha.
I'm sure I only have three children. Really. I'm sure. Only three. But I packed up the Little People's bathroom last night, and there were eleven toothbrushes currently in use. Is this indicative of a disorder of some kind? The Girl is the responsible party here.

Do not, I repeat, do not show your ass until she helps you move!
I understand the toothbrushes. When we get together for coffee, I'll tell you my little problem with calendars.
I suspect that kind person is happy that:
1) they will not have to wonder why food, pillows, and linens go together in the same box. Are you living out of the back seat of your car?
2) they will not have to wonder if you wash your dishes and books with all the "shit" you packed with them. Don't let your kids go to my kid's school . . . with all that "shit" Lord only knows what would happen. Maybe you can wrap it neatly and send it to Ms. Brainy McNoclue Secretary. White Elephant gifts in January, who knew?
3) I've heard that if you label a box "Crap we proably don't need", that it's ok if it (and 20% of all boxes) doesn't make it to the new house in the move. I'm just saying . . .
And, furthermore, I'm living vicariously through Ken who I'm picturing in the middle of that mass of dolls . . .
P.S. Andohbytheway, if you don't need the very kind corworker, I do have beds to be made, sandwiches to be made, and kids that could use some beach time. Again . . I'm just sayin' . . .
We have the same toothbrush affliction here. There is high drama when I toss some just to restore sanity.
I am very afraid of the doll closet. Surely something wicked happens in there at night...
(Mrs. G - I have a calendar affinity, too!)
Those toothbrushes are in really good looking condition.I haven't moved for awhile, so it's all piling up in the drawers and cupboards.
Oh my, this is why I love blog reading, to find out that I'm not alone! We have a toothbrush collection too. I recently found your blog from Mrs. G's.
Your kids must have the cleanest teeth in three counties.
(it would be awesome if they had cavities after the obviously huge investment in brushes)
I. hate. moving. I feel for ya.
