You would think moving for the third time in just over two years would be a snap. You would think we have this process down to a science. You would think that we would be able to tell moving companies how many pounds of stuff we own to the decimal point. You would think we would be pros and the whole moving gig.

But you would be wrong.

Now that we’re actually getting into the whole process of organizing and planning and talking to moving companies and trying to figure out where we will be living and how we will be getting there, I’m once again amazed at how much work it all is. Frankly, I intend to leave packing until as late as possible.  I’m hoping to find and book a moving company and then not talk to them again until moving day.  (Shut up, it could so happen!)

Next week will be taking a short trip to Saskatoon which will hopefully include house-hunting and renewing of health cards (YAY UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!) and school shopping and a bit of family and friend visiting.  Then it will be back home for rapid slide downhill to moving day!

Somehow this summer feels like it is ending before it’s even started. The unrelenting rain in June and the many visitors and the impending move add up to the sensation of the rapid passage of time. I even considered buying Avery’s school supplies BEFORE WE MOVE because our moving date will likely be very close to the start of the school year. Ok, maybe that’s pushing it, but still, it’s feeling like time for a good, old fashioned panic attack.

Also did I mention I’ve committed to flying with my children? In less than a week? I’m pretty sure last time I did that I said that I would never do it again. Ever. Getting ready for fun times, people!
