It Feels Real Now

February 5, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Happy weekend!

Thanks for all the comments on my accent vlog. I enjoyed reading through them. I had NO idea “the devil is beating his wife” was a southern thing until so many people brought it to my attention. Hilarious! Hopefully you don’t all stop reading my blog becuase I sound like a dork.

 I hope everyone is having a great Saturday! My weekend didn’t start out so great. One of the main reasons I came up to MS (besides packing) was to go to the chiropractor, and just much luck, we get here and he is out of town! This is after driving here in scary rain and ice. We did get to eat yummy Mexican food though. That’s where I made my mistake…I haven’t had sweet tea in over a month. I HAD to have it! Well..my body is apparently not used to this because I was awake in bed until 5, yes FIVE am! Also, Bobby was snoring, and I haven’t slept in this bed for over a month, but oh it was awful! I just wanted to cry I was so frustrated. We also woke up to more freezing cold and a little more of this.

I finally fell asleep and had to be up at 8:00 because the movers were coming to give is an estimate.

When he came that REALLY made our move feel real. Hopefully it won’t cost an arm and a leg to get us down there.

After running some errands and eating at my favorite, McAlisters, we came home and did more packing! I also did a good amount of throwing out. A friend is having a garage sale as a fundraiser for a mission trip she is going on, so that made me more motivated to want to get rid of some things, to help her cause.

 

The dogs didn’t like all the commotion. They get confused easily.

 

We are getting somewhere though. A lot of our bathroom is packed up and most of the kitchen. Luckily we started way back in the summer little by little, so it hasn’t been too overwhelming.

Happy Packing Boy

We were supposed to run 8 miles today, but with me running on 3 hours of sleep, we decided it was a bad idea and will do it tomorrow instead before we head back down south. We are also going to get as much packing done as possible. We need more boxes!

The girls miss grandma and grandpa I think.

Ok, back to packing! I can definitely say it really feels like we are actually moving now! Have a great night everyone!

QOTD: Does packing stress you out? Do you enjoy getting rid of things?

    Annoying your doctor was out of town 🙁 And crazy he didn’t have a sub!

    I have packing, so much. But unpacking may be worse. We still have boxes we haven’t unpacked from when we moved here 1.5 years ago haha. Glad it’s starting to feel more realistic!

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasn’t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how — nonstop licking. What started as “normal anxious behavior” turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. She’s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

I’m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. You’re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real — and it deserves real support. 🤍

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and they’ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dolly’s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! ✈️

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! It’s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so it’s very easy to grab things in flight! I’ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? 👜✨

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you don’t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.
