Panic Attack!!!

Sweet Donna,

I'm glad Parker is accounted for...I'm sure that makes you feel a ton better.

As for the other stuff...its just stuff and you can get it when you're more settled. Just take what you and the cats NEED.

That is exactly where I'm at. I cannot physically move anything, so I'm counting on my brother and David to help me out. I only have with me what I need to live...no extras. Its hard, but you'll be surprised what you can live without.

I'll keep you and the furkids in my prayers, honey. I'm so sorry I didn't have my phone on me when you called. I've been utterly exhausted this weekend, so I've been napping a lot.

Lots of hugs,
Kelly

Kelly,

Thanks for putting it into perspective. It IS just stuff. The most important things right now are what me and my furkids NEED! Everything else can come secondary.

The cry did me good though. Made me realize how much I miss CT, my friends and family.

I'm glad to hear you and the puddies settled, Kelly. I'll try and call you again.

Hugs,

Donna

Sweetheart, that's the best news I have heard! I'm so happy that Parker now has a foster home, and that this is one load off your mind. As noahsmommy said, just take the necessary things with you to Connecticut, then get the rest when you're settled.I'm glad that you had a good cry then settled down to think a little clearer. Honey, {{{{HUGS}}}} all the way to Connecticut!! Love you!

Sorry to hear you're having a panic attack over it.

Here's what I would do -- go to the u-haul store, UPS, Post office, etc and buy a couple of their large boxes and some bubble wrap. Then pack your trinkets in the boxes to store in your SIL's garage. Then once wrapped take it BACK to the post office, UPS, etc and have them estimate a price. Then write down a number on the box in big letter #1, #2, #3, etc. Have the list with you as to each box's weight and how much it would cost to have her mail it to you. Then when you have the $40 to ship box #1 to you, tell your SIL that you're sending the $40 can she take box #1 and have it shipped to you. That way, in a year (or more) you can have all the trinkets sent to you and you never have to step foot in MI ever again. It might sound outrageous to spend $40 to ship each box.... but it'll be the same as gas to drive or a plane ticket... with the added bonus of never seeing the town again!

Great minds think alike, I was going to suggest the same thing! Boxes with priorities, then also if anyone's driving east, or even if you happen to return to MI for, say, a certain wedding, you can bring back important ones!

Donna I know how resourceful and determined you are. I have a feeling you will figure it out! That's a great idea Kim.

**jenluckenbach** · 10-16-2005, 05:37 PM

Donna, knowing that Parker is taken care of will ease your mind enormously. And Kim's idea is brilliant!!! Now all you need to do is think about how to place your NEEDED items into your car without wasting any space.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} And good luck vibes.
