Reality Check

If you leave two 4 year olds alone with a light bright, you will be picking up light bright pegs for weeks.

If you are moving to Tucson with dogs, not only do you have to check if rentals allow dogs, you have to check to see if you are old enough to live in the potential community (rule of thumb, if you are getting excited, you probably have to be at least 50 to live there).

If you are trying to pack up your house, your children will help you. They will pack stuff for you. If you are called away while you are packing, you should inspect any boxes for cups of milk or favorite lovies, or baby sister's favorite toys (I suspect she would put baby sister in there if she could) before you continue loading the box with your possessions.

Moving is not fun. Selling your house is not fun. The addition of children multiplies this effect. The addition of dogs makes the multiplier exponential.

LOL we did had movers move us to Australia and when they say they will pack anything that is not moving it is so true including dirty dishes and trash.

Good luck you CAN DO IT>
