5 Days of Moving Madness- A CREW Blog Hop (day 1)

Since I just finished our 12th move in 21 years, how could I NOT write about moving for 5 days in a row.  After all, I just finished several WEEKS in a row of boxes, boxes and more boxes.  I hope you will join me each day this week for a little fun as well as a lot of the nitty-gritty details and how-to's that we have learned along the way. Today, let's start with the fun!

10 Commandments of Moving 1.  Thou shalt expect the unexpected. 'Cause you KNOW it's coming! 2.  Thou shalt try (hard) to retain one's sense of humor. 3.  Thou shall try to laugh.  A lot.  (I know, it overlaps with #2, but trust me, you WILL need this.) 4.  Thou shalt be patient with thy family members.  5.  Thou shalt be nice to the packers and movers.  Bribery with food is encouraged. 6. Thou shalt forgive any words spoken between family members from 2 weeks prior to 2 months after a move. (You can thank me for this later.) 7. Thou shalt smile and nod.  And smile some more. 8.  Thou shalt keep all furniture hardware in a safe spot.  And then remember where that safe spot is. 9.  Thou shalt label the mattress boxes.  Trust me on this one too, once the sheets are off they all look the same and for some reason everyone thinks the good set is theirs.  Just saying! and finally, and most importantly... 10.  Thou shalt be in prayer!  A lot! See ya back tomorrow with Pre-Move Check List Hop back over to the CREW Blog Hop to read many other 5 days of... From schooling, to crafts, to cooking, you are sure to find something you love!
