Part of the disorganization right now.
I mentioned in my post here that although moving residences is listed in the top twenty most stressful life events, I rank it at a solid 2. I forgot about the two week period AFTER moving when you can’t find anything. That is definitely 1.5.
I intended to post earlier, but it takes 3 times as long to do what I need to do when most items I need are still in boxes. 
We have, at least, successfully transferred everything to our new rental home and I have to say that after getting rid of 90% of our stuff in December of 2010, we have quickly re-accumulated more. It is a constant battle to keep our possessions at a minimum and I will definitely have to spend some time in the coming months purging again.
Hopefully things will back to normal in a few days!

We are about to go through this! I feel your pain! Before our moving day we need to purge, purge and purge some more since we are downsizing into a smaller townhouse (our first purchase!) from a bigger rental home. I’m excited about moving in but not excited about the actual act of moving and boxing things up! Especially not with a 2 1/2 year-old and 1 year old. Not looking forward to the living out of boxes for two weeks after the move either! Praying for you guys that it will settle down quickly and you can get into the groove of your new digs!
Thanks Stephanie! I hope you move goes well.
It is amazing the quantity of stuff you can accumulate. We don’t even really buy much stuff (we don’t need it and our budget doesn’t allow for it) but yet we have a lot of stuff. I make a Goodwill drop off at least once every three months.
Things will get back to normal soon. Just try not to pull your hair out in the mean time!!
