Help I'm drowning in a sea of boxes

Well it D day in 2 days. At least that's the plan. I have boxes everywhere in the house and am triping over them. That's a hazard for someone who has problems just walking. I can't use the cane and there are so many boxes that I have to step over some to get where I need to get to. The kitchen is almost completely done. All I have to do is the stuff on top of the cabinates. I am going to pack all the pots and pans and stuff, only leaving out some paper plates and a knife to cut the pizza's I'm going to get if I can get to the store today. I had a hard time cooking dinner last night as most of the stuff I needed to stir, flip and cut with were already packed away. It was a trip trying to cut up chicken breast on the counter with a bread knife but I got it done and it wasn't mangled to badly.

Because of all that's going on I'm understandably stress to the max. I have had a migrane for going on 2 days now and even the Tylenol that I've been taking isn't doing anything. I might as well be taking sugar pills. I have tried taking something for anxiety with the Tylenol but then all I want to do is go to sleep and I can't because there is to much to do around here. Even the cats are stressed over not having room to move. Middy does, however, like the boxes that are stacked up because now she can get up on top of the bookcase and microwave and knock the stuff off there. I have even caught her eating my plant which isn't good.

I have been watching movies but feel today I should pack them up to be ready for Thursday. That means I won't have anything to watch on TV. I think I can borrow some movies from my friend that lives up here but he has a limited selection and that's mostly horror movies which I don't care to watch. We'll see what he has and maybe I'll borrow them. I could always just sit here and watch Lord of the Rings, all 3 of them, over and over till they are burned into my mind. I had never seen all of the movies, only bits and pieces of the three of them, and had parts mixed up to the point where I didn't know which movie the parts I'd seen came from. Now I have seen all 3 and wouldn't mind watching them again. Plus it's a good way to kill 6 plus hours. I have also been reading a lot on my Nook and I had ordered 3 books from Barnes and Noble and read those in 2.5 days. I have also gotten the last of my regular yarn and have been crocheting while watching movies to keep my hands busy so I won't smoke. I feel like I'm going to explode right now because I haven't been able to watch Judge Judy or any of my other shows for almost a month now. I can't wait till the 22nd for the cable to be turned back on.

My oldest son has been here and it's been tough trying to balance being a mother and all the packing as well. He wants to stay up all night and sleep during the day which is screwing with my packing of the bed room. Plus he has his X-box games spread out all over the living room and no matter how many times I stack them up or put them in his bag they end up all over the place the next day. He doesn't seem to understand that we are moving and he needs to keep his stuff together so it doesn't get packed in a box where he might not see it for months. I have a feeling that's how long it will be till I can get every thing unpacked. I have been marking the boxes but sometimes things get missed and don't show up for a while.

Well better get doing something even if it's wrong. Besides I need to clean a disc so it will play in the VCR.
Later.
