A few posts ago, I outlined the snail pace that Eric is moving out. He had planned on moving out yesterday- and started too. In my mind- I gave him a May 28th deadline to get his things out. I worked with him on that because he had a 10 day business trip during that time. Rather than rehash the events- here are the emails we exchanged. Needless to say- I blew my stack!!

What happened to you? You said you had a couple more loads to get today and then would get the tools after Saturday. When I came home tonight- it looked like you had not even returned.
I tried texting & calling you a couple of times. Your phone was off or dead.
I feel like I have been extremely patient and that I have given you plenty of time to get your stuff out of the house. It has been 4 months since you left. I think that is plenty of time for you to get your belongings. I let you know that I was working against a deadline with this yard sale coming. I really need for this yard sale to be a success because I am hoping it will help pay for our Las Vegas trip. If it rains and I am not able to bring things inside- it could be a total disaster and weeks of my time and energy will have been wasted. I am thankful that you moved the china cabinet and the curio. I know that was a big pain in the ass job. I know it rained. I know you were probably exhausted from helping Corilynn move the day before. I know you have been busy with work- and out of the country. I know there was a ton of stuff that you moved- but there is still a lot more that needs to go. I told you we would help- but you refused that help. It was your choice to cram it all into this weekend. I let you know weeks ago that I needed this done by a certain day. I kept the kids today thinking that you were going to get it all done. Now I have a whole house full of stuff for this sale and no where to put it until the last minute. It has taken me weeks to get to this point. We are now walking around with a mess in every room. I was really hoping to take this week to organize things in the garage for the sale and not have to rush around at the last minute and have everything look sloppy. The garage is the only flat place to really display things.
My point is that you need to schedule a day- a full day- not just a couple of hours here and there- but a full day to finish moving your stuff out. We are happy to help you. I know it's hard work- but it has to be done- no matter how exhausted and sick of it you are. You have already moved on. I am still living in the mess you left behind. I expect you to at least take your belongings with you to start your new wonderful life. Have the courtesy to let me start mine.
Let me know when you plan on finishing.
