Going off half-packed

Sigh.  Today I began unpacking.

Being organized and proactive definitely did NOT pay off!  Now, granted, I only had about 15 boxes packed - which in the scheme of the whole house is nothing.  However, I had already gone into mental "moving" mode.

Moving mode is where I let little things slide.  Why bother dusting?  Once the house is all packed we'll scrub the walls.  Why continue my spring cleaning goal of decluttering and organizine one drawer or cupboard a week?  Soon it will all get unceremoniously dumped into boxes.

But now, we are NOT moving.  Mike did a complete 180 and we are staying at OSU.  I still don't fully understand his reasons, but as long as he is happy I am just being as flexible as possible. 

So, today I unpacked 8 boxes.  Set up the bookshelf again, set up the bassinet in the bedroom and put a few of the million hand-me-down clothes we were gifted into drawers. 

Sounds good right?  No, bad.  Now there are full boxes, and empty boxes, and piles of stuff I didn't deal with before because I was waiting to put it into boxes.  Sigh.  I worked all day and the house still looks like a tornado rolled through.
