until our move.
My family thinks I'm a whack job. For many reasons, but primarily for packing up boxes of stuff we don't need. (winter clothes, books we've read, etc) I think working takes my mind off the stress of this trip.
Three thousand miles.
An overnight near Death Valley in July.
10 days with my in-laws.
Over one month homeless.
Have to find a home.
Have to find my son's HS.
I'm grouchy, dirty and tired.
What things do you do that makes your family think you're a bubble off center?
-OR-
What is on your stress plate right now??

Same thing. In July I'm going to start looking for a new job in a new city. Our house needs some work in order to get it on the market, so Steve's painting, then we need to get new carpeting, a new stove and refrigerator, and some new doors.
I've started packing David's room in order to clear things out for the new carpeting. Five boxes of fabric and seven of books. Just from that one room.
Plus, I'm trying to prepare for the MS 150.
And, at work we are getting ready for our busiest time of year, and of course, it was my bright idea to totally revamp the Summer Reading Program.
I totally feel your pain. 
My family thinks I'm crazy most of the time.

I don't think you're crazy Aire. Why not pack winter stuff? It will just be that much easier when the time comes to pack everything else.
And people usually look at me funny when I run naked through the corn fields. But other than that, no.
