Quiet before the storm

Operation “move”…plans are changing by the minute and I’m getting meaner and more frazzled by the second.

With the threat of severe thunderstorms in the southeast tomorrow, G and I have come up with three scenarios for Thursday’s move. Since G’s parents fly a small plane, all scenarios are dependant upon the storms speed and path. So, here we go….

Scenario #1: Wiby and Danette fly to Griffin to pick up Zeke (G’s cousin) tomorrow morning. The three then fly to Charlottesville to help start loading the truck. Thursday morning, me, MR, Wiby and Danette fly to Atlanta, while G and Zeke drive the moving truck down south. I pretend to be a superstar as I am jetted from Virginia to Georgia on a private plane…except most superstars have someone else doing all of the packing and unpacking.

Scenario #2: The weather is “iffy” causing Wiby and Danette to bypass Griffin and fly straight to Charlottesville (without Zeke).  Wednesday evening we start loading the truck. On Thursday, Wiby, Danette, and MR fly back to Waycross. Me and G drive down to Georgia in the moving truck. I load up on gossip magazines and candy to survive the long drive. I then proceed to tell G every detail of celebrity news throughout the ten hour drive. G can hardly wait to get out of the car with me…and I get mad because he is disinterested in celebrity gossip.

Scenario #3: The storms are so bad that Wiby and Danette are unable to fly to Charlottesville. G and I load the truck by ourselves. On Thursday, G drives the truck down to Georgia with Sadie and I drive our car down with Mary Reese. M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E….I’m tired just thinking about it.

Taking a break from moving with a little porch time

Update 3:09- Wiby and Danette have decided to fly to Cville tonight to avoid any weather related problems. Zeke will stay behind and I will fly back to Atlanta with Wiby, Danette, and MR…sorry G, if you could hear your child now, you would know why I’m a little worried about a 10 hour car ride… I’ve talked it over with Sadie and she promises to keep you company on your journey down south.

    I know you will be so ready to be done with all of this.

    A piece of unsolicited advice from me – try to set it up where you have at least 24 hours without MR to get the house ready. You’ll need that uninterrupted time to get a head start on unpacking. After that, you can work around nap times.

    I can’t believe how much hair MR has in that top picture.

    You are too funny! Love all of the different options for moving. It WILL work out, the whole thing is so meant to be. You just need to get down there and unpack so we can visit.

    Wanted to ask, how far away is Myrtle Beach from your now house??

    I can’t even deal with all this. I want to cry. Better you than me, sister!

    Not to mention, I wouldn’t look near as glamorous as you do if I were moments away from moving. You make it look easy!

    Flexibility is the key to moving, that’s for sure!

    Whatever the plans are, please be careful! I’ll say my moving prayers for y’all!

    Girlfriend my head was spinning as I read your latest post. Then I get down to your bottom pictures and my jaw literally dropped. How in the world can you be looking so cute and relaxed after the above scenarios. You never cease to amaze me. I will be praying for you all and your move. Please keep in touch and I’ll miss you here in Virginia.
