Packing, Grime and feeling slimed

First of all packing, I am trying to pack ahead and save myself a huge scramble to the finish. I have found things I have never used since I moved into this house 3 years ago but yet instead of putting them in a pile to Goodwill I am just packing them up and moving them to the next garage. What is it about all the stuff we get.

Grime- I am also deep cleaning this house so we can get all our money back for our deposit. We move in clean(or atleast that was the theory) and we move out clean. I just wish I could work it out while we lived here.
I have found that grease dust(the stuff in your kitchen) makes a pretty good sludge after 3 or mores years of neglect. If I could only figure out a way to power my car with it I would be in business.

Feeling slimed- what is it about buying a house. There are more people involved than it takes to build a house and everyone has their hand in the pot. They talk about sellers cost but come on I am writing the check for 300K. They are just redistributing it. Every time I talk to our loan agent there is a new $$$ item. And then we really don't know everything until the day before we sign. It kind of reminds me of health care. Everyone taking a check but in such a way that I can't clearly figure out what I can actually control.

I hate packing and cleaning at the same time. It's horrible. Of course I have mainly just done it for trips but I hate that too.
I know how you feel we just moved as well. Hang in there.

Lily and Matt and the destruction of a whole box of kleenex Tom Ari in the tree Matt's birthday
Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...
