Packing ain't easy...

No, I'm not posting the crazy story yet, because things are up in the air and I don't want to jinx anything. However, one thing that is not up in the air is our moving date. We leave Athens at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, August 6th. Now, because the loft is still on the market and prospective buyers can come through at any time, I can't really start packing yet because I can't have boxes laying around everywhere yet. Sooooo, for one week before we leave, Jarrod and I will be packing like crazy.

The problem is, packing is hard and sad and just generally un-fun. I've started packing up my office and I feel like it will never get done. And that is just my office!

And then there is the other problem....Muggsy. He hates packing. He knows what packing means. He won't understand why we are packing everything we own, but rest assured he will be very upset.

This is what happens when I even try to pack a suitcase:


Notice that he has positioned himself *inside* the open suitcase. What you can't tell from the photograph is that every time I put something in, he takes it out as soon as I turn around. No, I'm not kidding.

Packing is going to be very difficult in the Atchison household!
