Unpacking ....I have the urge to purge

So its now 2 months since we moved in and we are still not unpacked...yep..boxes are not my best friend.  I, by nature, am not a messy person; I am quite the opposite actually.  While I am not Felix Unger (if you are reading this and don't know who that is, go ahead and google it...I'll wait... 

Good, now that you know what I mean , maybe you can feel my plight.  So I have boxes, and piles and bags on my floors.  Boxes in the garage, baskets galore on the floor.  Nary a day goes by that I don't have a thought of calling the show "Hoarders".  Of course its not quite that bad, it often feels like it. We keep throwing out things and giving away things- I'm pretty sure that the folks at Goodwill know us by name now. No matter how much we eliminate, it seems that there is twice as much behind it. Must be some cosmic joke.

When we moved back in, we figured it would take about a month to get the house back in order; one month turned to two..and now the seasons are starting to change. I'm being optimistic because I am sooo ready for summer to be over with but thats a whole other story.  Anywho, 2 months later and we still have a bunch to do.

With the house unfinished, it also makes it lets say..uninspiring... to decorate.  What's kinda the point to hang things on the wall if you're tripping over boxes.   Tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to get some work done.  As for tonight, a little Family Guy and then to sleep.
For now I won't be counting sheep, I will count moving boxes.
