When to Pack

-
cruisin' down sparks street 
Although we don't have a full time job/calling/reason to move, we've watched enough HGTV to know that your house will sell quicker and easier when all of your junk stuff is out of sight. A closet looks much bigger when there are 4 dresses in it instead of 40 (guilty). SO once the Missionaries moved out, we hit the ground running and began to pack things into boxes. 

 Boxes from Chick fil A that have pictures of waffle fries on the side of them. 

 And suddenly lunch at Chick fil A seems like a nice break from packing... 

 The Best Time to Pack: When you're sick of tripping over things in the middle of the night. When you think to yourself, "Someone just put me outta my misery!" When you want to run around the house yelling, "MY FAVORITE NATION IS DONATION!!!!"* 

 The Worst Time to Pack: When everything reminds you of your childhood home. When everything seems valuable or sell-able. When "I might need this someday" runs through your head more than once.  When you pick up the same item 3 times, turn it around and put it back down.

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
