Absolutely EXHAUSTED from housemove

[Thecat19342]

Hello

We've recently bought our first home, we have had the luxury of being able to have a overlap between completing and moving out from the rental.

However, three weeks later I'm exhausted. We have shifted half the house and just have the big items to move (next week) we have been gutting the new house (it's a do-upper) between working and juggling our 3 dc (between 2-6). I'm mentally and physically drained. How long does this last for? Is it just part and parcel of the move? I feel worse than I did three days postpartum!!

Til you stop renovating and sorting your life.
There is loads of address and other paperwork stuff afterwards, then it calms down a bit.

Not the same, but when we moved, DH went a month before the rest of us. After we'd moved, and the kids were in school (in a new country), I napped every morning for about 2 hours for a month or so. I was a wreck.
