I sit around overanalyzing blogs and being a pathetic moron who overdramatizes useless details and acts self-righteous in the process. I'm never happy, but I'm even more unhappy when I'm not making others unhappy. You're an idiot. Hi, my name is Paula and I’m a complete buzzkill.

We just bought a house and are moving in a couple weeks, so we're off to move again! One thing I've learned is that you need a place for the kids to nap or have some quiet down time, so a pack & play with their favorite blanket is essential for our 2 year old. If you're able to have a friend watch the kids the whole day, that is much better so that they're (and you're) not worn out with all the craziness of moving day.

We had some things in a container, some in storage, and some at a friend's house. The one thing I did to maintain sanity is to use blue painter's tape on all the "urgent" boxes that we would need to survive in the first few weeks, so that we could unpack them and the rest could wait until we had time. Also, I had a broken wrist during the move, so keeping the essential unpacking to a minimum was crucial :) My last move had a 3 week delay between houses, so was a little tricky.

One thing I always found to be essential was an alarm clock. I also always brought a coffee maker. Great list. I’ve moved over 15 times as a Naval Officer and then as a civilian in the past 12 years.
