A Southern themed Alabama rush!

She gathered up a few recommendations for those certain houses, didn’t want to go shopping until the day before leaving, and she seemed to procrastinate until it was past the mark of “too late” and Grandma and I had to sit, hunched over in despair, and tap out texts and emails to our friends to try and gather recs.

She also decided to dye her hair at the last moment and so Grandma and I had to find a way to fix it. Rush at Bama is tough and so I became very worried that she focus on how she had “southern blood” and how she only wanted to be in “old row” houses instead of going where she was needed.

Welcome to the most stressful week of my entire life!

You deserve a "Mom of the Year" award for enduring two rushes like these! Can't wait to read more....you're a wonderful storyteller so it will be great reading.

One question - were both girls rushing during the same week? Or was it sequential? Either way it had to be brutal....

The same week! DD3 and DD4 don’t get along sometimes and they got in a blowout and so we all had to split up! DD3 took Dad and DD4 took me, I hope to never have another child rush again at this point but I still have one boy who’s going through!

3!

I haven’t had a break since the kids were young! Now that I’m officially an empty nester, I thought that I could have a moment of silence but some of my sisters are coming to see us because of the hurricane! I’ll have time to sleep in 2019, it seems!

Please keep us updated before Florence hits land! Based on the last one, I suspect this will be a great thread!
