Reminder: we are MOVING as much STUFF as we can manage THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 25. YOU are invited!

Here's the plan:

On Saturday morning starting at 9am, we convene at my parents' house in Carlisle. Coffee and fabulously unhealthy breakfast items will be provided. (Ping me if you do not know where we've been living for the last year.) We load up the truck with as much stuff as we can manage. Once we have loaded everything that's packed and ready to go, we drive the truck to Mosaic and unload.

At that point, we will drive the truck to our storage unit in Clinton (about 15 minutes away) and again load it up with as much stuff as we can manage. Filling it would be amazingly awesome.

Then: we drive back to Mosaic, unload, I order pizza and chinese food and muscle relaxant for everyone, and we all collapse in a heap.

We have the truck all weekend, so if any of you are real hard-core masochists, you may join us on Sunday to pick up whatever we did not manage on Saturday. :-)

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

We will need a packing chief to oversee how things get fit in the truck. Someone very good at 3-D tetris. Everyone else will do as they say. I am looking with hope and love in my eyes at jacflash, catya, and randysmith as possible people for this role.
Childcare-at-large. Our two children will be running around. They may be intermittently helpful (especially the larger one). Those of you who are not carrying anything at a given moment may be pressed into service to distract a child for a few moments to keep them from trying to climb on the furniture as we are moving it out.
Possibly last-minute packing on Saturday morning -- this is up to keyne. I do not expect that we will have moved everything out of my parents' house by the end of Saturday, but if she's willing to supervise packing efforts then we could use some hands here.
Lifting that barge and toting that bale.
