two reasons to dislike packing

while i do love the chance to declutter and readily admit that moving flats affords us the perfect opportunity to rid us of baggage, there are some downsides.

1) comfort eating. i just finished off the yummy treats in two party bags because i am in need of consoling. we have hit that part in packing where we are sort of in a vortex. loads more to do, but loads of stuff we use on a daily basis. calgon, take me away! forget calgon…where there is werthers caramel candies, there is a way!

2) packing can be messy. yesterday one of sebastian's parents dropped something on their foot. the parent yelled s – h – well most of you know the rest. and as the parent was hopping around, sebastian said little in the way of, "are you all right" and much in the way of…"you said a very bad word! you said a very bad word!" meh!

i can justify eating the party bags. we are downsizing. (unforunately, as i keep eating, i am upsizing!)but the cussin just aint cool.

tomorrow i will write about father's day, which has been good. charles needs to scan the hilarious card sela drew him. happy father's day charles, who is a wonderful father every day. i even bought him a sentimental card this year!

and for the sweetest daddy i ever had, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. i wish you were here. i will read my kids HOW NOW BROWN COW tonight as a reminder of how wonderful dad's are. thank you for that book.
