We are moving to a new house across town. If you've moved, you know that entails a lot of work: sorting, packing, cleaning etc. I have adequate time to do this (5 weeks) but I'm worried about my kids. When I get stressed I tend to snap quickly. I know this and I'm trying to avoid it. How do you handle high stress times without blowing up at your kids?
My kids are older 11, 9 and 7. They can help but its the bickering that drives me nuts. They're excited but they also pick up on the stress, and they handle it by picking fights and being unusually sensitive. I know that's the cause and I don't want to make it worse. But I still have to get ready! :(
The kids are homeschooled, so sending them to school doesn't work. :) We have a month, which is plenty of time. But..I want to have the majority of the packing done before school starts so we're not taking away from that. So...I have 9 (or so) days to pack 9 rooms.

Which do you prefer, your kids at school or home for summer break?
