The Master Plan

You know how they say..."if you want to make God laugh...tell him your plans", well if that is true God laughs at me all the time.  Do my plans always work out?  NO  Should I think that my plans will work if I organize well? NOT EVERY TIME.  Does that stop me from working really hard to make sure my plans all work out...not in the least.  The realistic part of me knows that there is absolutely no way that I can get my stuff together so that packing and unpacking will be an easy job.  The planner/optimist in me (which is about 90% of me) just knows that I have figured out the perfect way to organize and pack.  I am certain that I have thought through everything so that we don't end up with something we NEED in the sea shipment or so that we don't end up having to take too much on the plane. 
Here it goes...

This sign is on the door of the Master Bedroom...this is the stuff we want to send in our air shipment.

Clothing and gifts...we are also sending our table by air so we won't have much room.  There is more (some dishes and kitchen items) still in use.

This sign is on Zachary's door...the stuff that we would like to send by air if there is room...if not we will send by sea.

Mostly artwork and photos...we are also hoping to fit the Ikea chair.  I can't wait to decorate.

This is on the Guest door and has everything going by sea.

Clothes, some art, golf clubs...etc.  This may look a mess but it is actually organized

Our closets have only the clothes we will need through Friday...Adam's has the most because I figure I will mostly be in yoga pants and I plan on keeping Z in his pj's all day to cut down on laundry...I have washed the last of our clothes.  The only laundry I plan to do is the sheets and towels before they are packed.

I requested that the movers come twice, once for air, once for sea.  It shouldn't take too long each day and they could have done it in one day but this way I can pull things out of the room and organize it by room and then by category to make unpacking super easy.  I told them that I will need to see each box before it's sealed so I can make notes on the outside.  The same people that moved us here last June and moved us from apartment to apartment will be here again and they are very nice but only one guy speaks English and they didn't empty any drawers...this time I have emptied everything and am categorizing everything.  My shipping inventory is organized by room and then separated into categories as well.  I am hoping that my hard work will pay off in September and again in October (I hope October) when our shipments arrive.  We shall see...
