We are buying a brand new, freash, CLEAN home. I have one month to pack / declutter. There is NO way I'm going to take all of this stuff and put it in our nice house.
Also, I have an inspection next week. I need to start cleaning asap, but can't seem to get going.

Ignore typo's ... I'm high on pain meds - I recently had surgery, which is another reason I'm way behind on cleaning.

One month to move. Inspection next week. Pain bad enough to require meds. You certainly have a lot on your plate!
Does the inspection next week impact your new housing plan in any way? Would you loose that new house over the result of this upcoming inspection? IF NOT, then I'd put all my efforts into preparing for the move. IF YES, that might give me some concern over how to prepare for the inspection.
But of course, when you are on pain meds, your mind may not be fully alert AND your body may not feel it when you overextend yourself and you could actually add onto whatever injury it already suffered. So be cautious as you work. Keep safety in mind when lifting and moving boxes, etc.

The inspection won't affect us getting the new house in any way. I just don't want to be embarressed by failing, even though I would probably never see these people again (moving to a new city).
I've started, kind of... (dishes in the sink, ready to wash - Two loads of laundry.)
My mom is *thankfully* letting me bag up all of the kids dirty / extra clothes and take them to her house. She will wash them and then put them in storage until we get moved in. That is going to help so much. The kids have literally hundreds of shirts / pants / etc. Most of it they never even wear but somehow it always seems to end up in the floor. Once we're settled, I want to go through those and donate a lot of it.
My List for Today:
* Dishes
* Pick Up ALL Toys (and pack most!)
* Pack up books, important papers, & pictures.
* More Laundry! (I have tons of laundry to do, I'm guessing, 7 or more loads) - 3 loads down!
* Vaccume, & Dust living room (the one room that seems to stay somewhat clean).

Molly,
First of all, congrats on the new house and the fresh start!
Second, I hope that your health is on the mend and that you feel better soon!
Third, it sounds like you are on the right track. I am happy to encourage/work with you in chat (or WIT, or here). I am also moving this summer and am determined to start fresh without all of this junk!
Onward

Well, it started off well and then I just stopped. The inspection is on MONDAY! I feel like I'm never going to get it done.

I think you're doing great!!!  You have all weekend so that should help. Just be careful not to overdo it and hurt yourself  |
