Moving Is Making Me A Wee Bit Crazy

Well not that I didn’t have a little bit of insanity already but moving I think is making me even more crazy.  I know I know you think that’s not possible (totally almost typed pissable right then).  But I assure you it is.  I pack and pack and pack and pack then turn around and it looks as if nothing has been packed at all.  How in the world does that happen.

I kid you not I probably have 40 boxes packed and to me my house still looks full of crap.  My husband says he can see everything I have packed so at least one of us can right.  Granted the stuff I am seeing is furniture, televisions, toys left out for the kids to entertain themselves with and a TON OF yard sale stuff so hopefully once that is all gone after my yard sale and the last minute packed things it will look better.

I can’t remember during the days if I have eaten or not.  My head is constantly pounding.  Caffeine is my drug of choice, it’s what keeps me going.  I think had I been a wee bit smarter I would have taken this week off.  So I could regroup before my yard sale on Wed & Thur.  But as I noted common sense seems to be escaping me as I frantically try to remember which bills I have called to turn off, trying to remember that I need to go by the kids school to pick up papers, need to mail stuff.  Trying to find a storage unit in Florida, looking for a place to rent if we have to at first while searching also for somewhere to buy.  AHHHHH! I don’t remember moving being this stressful before.

So now I am asking all you lovely readers and friends out there, what are some sanity savers you can suggest during this insane time of my life when I really have no extra time?  On the plus side moving back home to Florida is just around the corner (9 days to be exact) so that is making me excited.

Hi, I’m Toni — a mom of three, psych major, Gulf Coast girly, and full-time collector of life plot twists. I’m currently navigating mid-life with caffeine, humor, and the kind of chaos that deserves its own sitcom. Between college meltdowns, Disney escapism (hey adulting is hard and Mickey doesn't judge), family adventures, and whatever fresh nonsense life throws at me, I’m documenting it all with honesty, sass, and zero attempts at pretending I have it together. Welcome to A Daily Dose of Toni — the chaos era, but make it cozy.
