Well after this post anyway! I opened quite a few of boxes and took out a lot of unnecessary items this week. I eliminated 10 boxes and brought them to recycle. I'm leaving about 10 boxes in the closet and will have my son ship them as we need them. I am left with 22 boxes.
On Monday, I sent a box out parcel post and checked on it today. USPS says it should arrive on August 4th which is only 12 days! i'm going to ship everything out on August 16th with my priority mail boxes at the same time.
Thanks Pia, for letting me know about batteries being hazardous. I had no idea but it makes sense and I just wasn't thinking.
Really, really getting excited!!
