There are some pretty big burdens that come with life; acne, periods, work. But I find the biggest burden of them all is packing up all the stuff you've accumulated over the years into moving boxes... and having to label everything, although even if you do write 'fragile' multiple times on a box, it'll still get thrown around like there's nothing of any worth in there *sigh*. Anyway, I digress. Packing is one of the most stressful times of your life, I even find packing a suitcase to go on holiday stressful but it's not like I'm moving my entire life to somewhere new. Boxes of endless crap that you'd forgotten you'd had just dotted all over your house like the worlds worst obstacle course, fantastic.
Then because of the amount of stress you're under to make sure you don't forget anything, whilst making sure moving is still the right choice to make for you at this specific time will more than likely end in a stress headache, you know, the type of headache that makes you feel nauseous. The worst of all the headaches. Then, again, because of the amount of stress you're under your skin starts to break out and your anxiety hits the roof. I don't think I have felt this stressed since... well the last time we moved. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
One thing I absolutely love about the whole moving process is knowing that you have a house on the other end that needs your interior designer flare. When the kids are in bed, you've had a day of sorting, bubble wrapping and boxing up, there is nothing better than relaxing with a cup of tea (or wine, lots of wine) and scrolling through Pinterest looking for interior decorating inspiration. Planning out colour schemes and what furniture will go where. I often ask my partner for his imput but the same five words always come out of his mouth "it's what you want, babe". Believe me, he will live to regret those words when he sees how much the wallpaper in our bedroom will cost.
Anyway, we're moving tomorrow and we've only packed up two and a half rooms so today is going to be a busy day and then we have a pretty long weekend ahead of us! I've also got to squeeze a job interview, my eyebrow appointment, my hair appointment and a hen do in over the weekend!
Please send help.
