How fast can Kelly pack a house?

I've done it in two weeks, and I was living alone with 2 kids. Now, can I do it with Michael here, with 3 kids? One downfall is that this time, since Michael is here, his stuff isn't all packed up in boxes in the garage like it was last time.
We got our new house assignment today, and we pick up keys on the 15th. Of May.

As of tonight, Mikayla's room is 90% done. We had a Girl Scout meeting this afternoon, then went out for dinner, or else more would be done. Her room took about an hour and a half. That includes sorting out the big bags of clothes in her closet that were from both big kids, from the past 2.5 years.

Still left to pack:
Aaric's room - should take around 1.5 again. Maybe less, since I've already sorted some clothes.
Master bedroom - yeah, that's gonna take a couple days.
Living room - maybe 2 hours, tops? And that's with wrapping up the decor in newspaper to prevent breakage. One of the many blessings of not having much decor.
Dining room - Maybe 30 minutes. All that's in there is books and the artsy stuff. and a little decor. I'll toss that in the living room box.
Kitchen - yeah, that will take longer. But still, maybe just 2-3ish. Maybe less, but it will also involve sorting out the stuff to yard-sale and the stuff we'll need until the day we leave here, and the trash...
Back yard - Michael gets the joy of taking the swing set apart. The shed will take an hour or two.
Garage - this would take approximately 9,438 weeks. We need to condense that down to being able to finish by late Friday night, so that we will be ready to have the yard sale on Saturday.

Fun, fun.

And as promised, I will get the pictures uploaded, but the problem is that I can't find the stupid usb that works with the camera. I'm sure we'll come across it as we pack.
