1. Continue to work for an organization that no longer pays you
2. Agree to pull together a curriculum for a weekend retreat for aforementioned organization.
3. Tell the organization you can deliver this curriculum at a meeting 4 days before moving.
4. Joyfully assent to preaching and planning a church service 6 days before moving
5. Write a magazine article with a deadline 3 days before moving
Marian, we have a lot of ground to cover. When I last wrote you were sore and sad, today you're just restless and tired of sitting inside looking at the computer screen. We haven't even reviewed you baptism weekend (which was a big deal, folks came from near and far to see you!).
But writing a blog is also something you should probably not do the week before moving.

Things an organization that is not paying you should not ask you to do before you move:
1) Plan a retreat curriculum (I mean seriously, do the words, "Just had a baby" mean anything to these people?);
2) Plan a church service ("Ahem. Close your eyes and get with the Lord. The End.");
3) Write. Anything. Or: $10.00 per word. And thank you.
The only truly important things you have to remember to take on the move are the dad, the mom, the baby and Peanut. All other items are subject to immediate and irrevocable disregard.
You are almost there, Wallers!! Just remember, one day you will look back on this and think, "We were so very adventurous! My, those were the good times."
