Premoving Stress

We have so many things to do and plan for before and after our move.  We've gotten a lot done already and got started early.  It just seems like the time is getting too close.

The Mrs. and I were discussing scheduling for our summer.  We are trying to arrange to move after C has gotten out of school.  S has gotten to see my parents so we are trying to get C there also.  There is also both their birthdays, one in June and one in July, that we are scheduling around.  We are figuring that the move will require two trips to get everything moved and give us a chance to be able to clean and prep the condo for renting.  Mix into that a major church event scheduled the first week of July.  At least one the Mrs.'s high school friends has offered to help with the kids once we get up there.  We just need to figure out when to have her come down from the Pittsburgh area to help.

Up until we are completely moved, we have a huge list of things we need to do.  We are intending to fix the grout in the master bathroom's shower.  It's not bad but it has pulled away from the tub and we would like to regrout that bottom part.  We tiled our main living area and just need to finish a small section of base molding along the wall along with installing floor dividers to create a clean transfer between tile and carpet into the bedrooms.  We'll need to fix holes in the wall from nails, accidents, etc.  After these, we'll need to repaint of course.  I intend to deep clean the floors and polish them nicely.  While we have a great deal packed and could probably have everything that's left packed quickly, we do still have some stuff left.  I was building a cargo box for our utility trailer but our HOA asked us to remove the trailer from the property due to association rules.  We understand but it makes it a little more difficult to finish.  Now I have to finish it right before the move.  I was hoping to have it built and start putting stuff in it up until the move to allow us to have more space to clean the condo.  Oh well.

We are under a lot of pressure.  I find myself getting aggravated and depressed about not having more time to do these things or something not working out preventing me from working on this stuff.  In truth though, we have been planning this move for a while.  We've gotten so many things done, such as fixing the truck up (u-bolt issue, new bumper, trailer hitch), selling the car, buying a trailer, and most of our stuff packed.  So I don't understand why I am feeling this way.  I discussed it with my wife and I've decided like so many things, if I am getting down about things, I should just pray about it and leave the outcome to God.
