A "little" moving anxiety

This past week has been absolutely caotic. Between my brother flying home for the week, my mom leaving town for the weekend, my inlaws visiting, selling our car and purchasing a new to us vehicle, oh and on top of all that packing up our home! To say the least my hair is a hot crazy mess and for good reason. 

This crazy mess we are in is defiantly having an effect on Michael. Everyday he is seeing less and less of our things as they get packed. Tonight he finally lost it and started crying. "But mommy, why are you taking all my things away?"

I explained we needed to pack everything up so we can take it to our new home. He asked what home and I told him but then he said he didn't like that home. He liked "this home."

I showed him the truck we were renting to take everything to our new home and showed him what pictures I had of our new place. His next question made me laugh, "but mommy, what about our food? Is our food going there?". I showed him in the picture where our kitchen was and thats where all our food is going. He relaxed quite a bit. I asked him if he wanted to help put things away and he passed and said Shelby can help me.

There has just been too much going on for the little guy and I can't blame him one bit for getting upset. He needs some stability and normal back. Just a few more days of all this crazy mess and then Shelby and Michael get to head to woodland to play on my aunts property for the day while we move. They adore her home and all the room they have to run, and the undivided Attention they receive. 

We don't think it will take too long to get everything moved. My plan is while the guys are unloading is to focus on the kids rooms so they have their space ready when they return later on that evening. I am hoping that once they see their things they will both be at ease once again and be happy for our fresh start in our beautiful new home.
