Getting ready to go

Well, the kids are ready to go; but not me.  I look around the kitchen, bedrooms, living room.... and nothing is packed.  While we can't take our furniture and are limited to shipping/bringing personal items, I can see a bunch of things that I need to remember to put in our luggage.  I feel so disorganized.  I have had about 2 months to prepare for the move, but am still a mess.  The problem for me is that we still need to live for a few more days, so I don't want to put things in suitcases and then rifle through them to find what I need.  

Did I mention we are taking 16 pieces of luggage, plus 2 car seats, and a carry-on bag for each of us.  My wise friends Jennifer and Patty say I need to take pictures of each suitcase, number them, and inventory each piece so I know what I have and where it is.  The idea is brilliant and I hope I find the energy to do it.

We are scheduled to leave on Thursday, February 3rd, but wondering if this will even happen.  We have a blizzard warning in effect from tonight until tomorrow night (Wed. night).  I can't even guess how the weather will play into our plans.  I suppose the good news is that if we are stranded inside tomorrow, I will have no excuse but to finish packing, inventory, etc. 

I think that by dragging my feet I am putting off the inevitable.
