Day 2

Last night, I came back when the house was empty, the packers were gone, the rest of the family was at the TLF, mainly to use the computer. I walked around the house looking at all the packing. I had talked a lot to the main guy doing the kitchen, and one other guy who did our bedroom, but the third guy didn't talk much so we left him alone. He did both rooms the kids are in. Anyway, I walked in, saw what he did, and almost cried!!!

HE UNPACKED ALL THE RUBBERMAIDS!!!!!!!

I have spent WEEKS getting all the closets organized, everything labeled, ect. And I walk in and all the empty Rubbermaids are sneering at me in the dark. All empty and stacked on top of packed boxes. Boxes just labeled "clothes."

{SIGH}

Now when we unpack, I am going to have to RE-sort everything. Take the clothes that fit and the different season clothes and the clothes waiting for Tiffer to grow into, that are all packed in the SAME BOX and resort it ALL!!!!!!

ugh.

I said something to the main guy this morning, he said no, they don't unpack them. I showed him what the guy had done and he pulled him outside and told him NOT to do that.

So, yes, I am upset at the extra work, but I should be thankful it was only 2 rooms. Today, no more unpacking Rubbermaids!!!!!!!!!! And there are about 50 more spread throughout the rest of the house!

They just started on the garage and I overheard one of them call it the Dungeon!!
Kind of appropriate!!
But it is a dungeon FILLED with Rubbermaids!!!!!!
And I told them to NOT pack any of the spiders. All spiders need to stay in Idaho!

Time to swap with Sam. Not room for all 6 of here with FIVE packers today. A packer in every room! 1,100 sq. feet does not mix well with the 6 of us and 5 full grown men!

More later!

Ah yes, the rubbermaids. It seems like every moving company has a different policy on that, I had to beg them not to go through my rubbermaid of gradeschool keepsakes! :) good luck!

OH NO!!!! I couldn't imagine. I know how much time I put into Rubbermaid containers...I'm sure you've put in 10x as much. I will remember that in the future to tell our movers to NOT unpack those. I've yet to have a problem. At least they didn't unpack your ziploc bags (great idea too by the way-I'll be stealing that one).
