The kids are at my mom's for the week and it's awfully quiet around here.  The whole idea is that it will give me to get some serious packing done for our impending move into the new house within the month.  However, I find it awfully hard to concentrate with no kids around.  Anyone know what I mean?

So here are some goals for the week so I can stick to some sort of schedule!

1.  Pack up at least half of kids' toys in their rooms.

2.  Pack all scrapbooking supplies and spare books in family room.

3.  Pack all hsing materials we are not currently using, and I mean using right this minute!!

4.  Take pile of stuff in storage to thrift store (and do NOT go inside).

5.  Bring pantry food upstairs so we can use it up and not move it all.

6.  Make at least 3 trips to storage to drop off packed items.  Thank goodness the storage unit is down the road from the new house so I can go by and check out the progress and keep myself motivated!!

Okay, that ought to keep me busy.  I even checked out some audiobooks from the library today so I'll have something to listen to while I'm sorting/packing/driving.  Maybe I'll even post some before and after pictures of the progress because who doesn't enjoy a good before and after spread??

And don't worry... I won't forget to include a date night with hubby while we're enjoying a kidless week!
