I'm being buried alive. There are boxes everywhere and my upstairs is about 90% done. It's time to start on the garage and doing the easy stuff downstairs.
The move is already taking its toll on my little guy. Every time we go over to the new house, once he figures out that is where we are headed he starts to cry. He frequently says he doesn't like the new house and that his room is at HIS house. I try talking the new house up but I don't think he's fooled.
Today, he went to play at his Aunt Irene's house so I could pack. I worked on his room. He was so upset when he got home. He told me his room was broken and that I needed to clean the mess. As he was getting ready for bed, he was running from his room to mine, when he tripped on a box and he told me the Home Depot Box needs to go away.
To top it off, I changed his sheets while I was working this afternoon...let's just say that was not the thing to do on a day with so many distressing changes already packed in it. He flipped out, and was yelling for his football sheets. You know, the kid likes his order, and his OCD was definitely showing through tonight. Granted he was really tired and I know that was adding to the whole thing but boy, was he mad.
I feel bad for him. I knew this was going to be tough on him, but I thought, that day or weekend would be tough, you know, when we made the actual move...not 2 weeks before hand.

Poor little guy. Hopefully his birthday party will cheer him up :)
Aw, man, that's a total drag. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this stress in your final months.
But hopefully this will be a good learning experience for LL. You want him to cope with his OCD now, so he doesn't grow up to be like my dad. (Hahahaha . . . please don't tell my dad I wrote that :)
Oh man, I'm so sorry. Jonathan wigged out when we moved, and would cry when we went to the new place AND when we went to the old place. But now he really loves our new place, even though it's so much smaller. And it only took like 2 weeks for him to really prefer our new place--hopefully it'll be that way for LL!
WHEW! I cannot believe you're moving in 2 weeks! Probably less now since I'm "catching" up after you wrote this. BUT WOW! They're letting you guys move stuff in before escrow closes? PRETTY COOL.
Can't wait to see the new place! I'm so excited for ya'.ll! The way you wrote this post, I could totally feel that kid's pain! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Give me back my stuff! : O Give that kid a HUG for me will ya?
