- I feel guilty about all the things I've collected/purchased/saved.
- I feel 100% overwhelmed from the time the first box is packed until the day we move.
- I cannot pack without organizing and purging. While this is a good exercise, it can cause tension. I'm not a "keeper," I'm a "tosser," and Dave is exactly the opposite. We need to find a middle ground.
- I don't know HOW to pack WELL. I try to fit things in boxes like a puzzle and pack things that go together, but it's never good enough in my opinion.
- I don't like asking for help. I absolutely hate sending the "will you please help us email." I don't ever want people to feel obliged, but I also want to have a fun day with my friends.
