Thanks all, I just got back a bit ago.
We made a huge improvement in the piles of belongings. I can see why my dd was overwhelmed. Her movers turned out to be ALL men... family and friends... and instead of packing according to room and labeling the boxes, they just picked up whatever was in reach and would fit and tossed it all together. We found clothes, Cd's, kitchen items, shoes, and toiletries all mixed up in huge trash bags and so ended up having to go through every one of them and sort things to get them put away. Her new family room is 13 x 21 and was filled with boxes and bags like that. All together we spent over 20 man hours to make sense of their chaos and tht was without even getting things put away.

My SIL collects dragons items and so has swords etc... their 3 yr old had found one of them, removed it from it's sheath and dropped the sword on her little toe, so we nearly had to take her in for stitches. Luckily we did finally get the bleeding stopped and decided nothing vital was cut. It's no wonder my dd needed her momma... lol I brought my own for reinforcement! lol Between the 3 of us we managed to make sense of the chaos.
