Is it over yet?

I feel like there is so much going to be going on, but I'm having to wait for it to happen and I just want it all over with. 2 weeks from today we begin the moving process, and 3 weeks from today we have to have this house emptied and cleaned and keys turned in. I keep packing the house, because I can't sit and do nothing every single day. I can't shop or even grocery shop because it's just more stuff to move. I did get all the kids Christmas things ordered and they should be here this week, but we still have to move them. Right now I am still planning to let the military movers move me, but I am still worried they won't like that I packed so much stuff.
The bottom line for me is we don't have nice stuff. We do have a pretty nice (to me) computer and 2 big flat screen TVs, but even one of those has a huge scratch down it from a toy being driven on it. We have put our value in children and want to give them nice toys and clothes, but at this point they still destroy everything. So like I said we don't have nice things that need special packing. I also don't want to have to unpack every box to get to the things I need in WA since we'll be moving to Texas in ~7 months. When I pack for myself every thing is grouped by room and state I want it opened in. I also have to be able to do it with 5 kids underfoot so I can't have long explanations for movers of what goes where.
If only Tony was home I would just pack it all and let him get some friends to help move it and call it good, but being by myself I just can't do it all. (Even though sometimes I think I can. :)
I am trying to rely on the help of others, but every time I do I'm reminded why I never rely on others because everyone has their own priorities.

On a more positive side, we do have a time frame for when Tony will be home. ~50 days give or take a few so I am a little excited, but I still feel like all the things listed above keep me from being excited to get him. Normally I'd begin to get stuff ready for him. Buy his things that he'll need when he gets home, soap, deodorant  foods he likes, but instead I'm trying to move have Christmas and then get him home all in ~50 days.
However I am an awesome army wife and take it and go on all while caring for 5 kids and a house. And I know that it will all melt away when I no longer have to worry about him and his safety on a daily basis.
