packing up house

Well im trying very hard to pack up our worldly belongings in boxes for our big move in less than 2 weeks now. Its hard to pack stuff into boxes with the kids around, infact extremely frustrating! They say where is my barbie or where is my toy car! ect ect....
Yesterday i lost the plot! and the box my daughter wanted to look in for something, i ripped off the tape and turned the boxes contents all over her bedroom floor! She just looked at my me like i was a madwomen! poor kids have been have to put up with a ranting mother ,its really very stressful this whole moving thing. Im still trying to finish iff last minute orders and thinking what to pack next the thing s that we dont desperatley need for the next few weeks. Thing is i like having all my little trinkets out my dust collectors! and all my antique things i have lovelingly collected while we have lived here.Op shops in the next town Bowen have been a treasure trove for some of my finds and then the op shop in Colllinsville has been like pandoras box , you just never know what you are going to find there.We had like a antique shop called the dingos boudior, and i got a set of green and cream enamel canisters for a song . Must go kids are up and its another day! Oh whos ever reading this Spotlight have the most lovely cherrie fabric for $5.00 a metre, my dear husband went into spotlight for me yesterday to get some for me!
He and is mate took a load of his shed stuff up to the new house ,which is a real load of our minds! He has a huge shed and filled with so much stuff! i thought i had lots of fabric and sewing stuff, but he wins ! Swags , old saddles ,camping stuff galore! Oh you have never seen such a sight! my two kids are sitting on the kithcen bench making nutella sandwhiches and my four year old has it everywhere! just cleaned them up!.Back now to writing the confessions of a ranting mother! I really must try very hard today to Keep calm and carry on ! like the teatowel from lark that i brought for our new house but ended pinned up on the wall near my computer! Oh well really must go this time , have a lovley day
