I am totally procrastinating. I am sitting here looking at the empty brown boxes that need my attention, they need filing. We are moving soon, it’s only weeks away. I feel overwhelmed with the chore ahead. I have made a start, so that counts for something, right? I have packed many of our breakables, carefully placed in layers of bubble wrap (my children have already requested popping it when we eventually get to the new house). I have sorted out the keeping, from the donating items, but now I need to figure out who to donate too. Like anything once I get started I get in the mood and keep going, but right now I just can’t be bothered to get going. Maybe it’s because I still can’t believe we are even moving?

It was such a quick decision, earlier this year moving wasn’t even on my radar. I thought we were in this house for the long haul. A trip to Sydney and on the way back we decided it was time for a move. After seeing my brother’s family and how close they lived to their children’s school we knew we wanted that lifestyle too. It hasn’t been easy living so far from all our friends and our children’s friends. As much as we love the country life, we know we want to be closer to friends now.

I am not sad, well not really, about leaving this home, but there are things I will miss. I think I’ll miss the views the most, and the gum trees. I will also miss my kitchen! I also think that it is hard to be excited about the move when we have to live in limbo for the next 6 months whilst our new home is built. Most of the boxes I have packed so far I will not unpack for many months. It will be like Christmas when I finally get to unwrap all my favourite breakables again! Hopefully none are broken!

So yes I am procrastinating, it just all feels so unreal. But I need to get back to work, we go away in 2 sleeps and when we get back we will have a mad couple of weeks to finish packing. Wish me luck!

What are you procrastinating about? Love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for doing me, love Mackenzie xx
