always chatty at the O!!
So, bright and early Friday morning and I am awake and should be asleep but am awake. Ugh!! I am just antsy I guess. I am so out of the loop with everybody and I hate it! Oh how I hate it. I just want to say that. The Daily Os generally keep me sane but everything is so all over the place and doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon, but that being said, because of them I will be able to stay sane for other reasons, which in a minute I'll explain...guess what I think I feel some ramblings coming on. LOL!! I know you have all missed them so!! :eyebrows:
Anyway, tomorrow begins our final leg of our trip to NC. I think we are going to take 2 days to get there because we are going to be pulling my FIL camper which it seems is going to be our temporary home for a bit. The 3 week waiting list for housing is going to be more like 8 weeks and so we don't want to move twice so we'll just stay in the camper until we get housing. We talked about just finding a place but costwise it just makes more sense for us to live in military housing. We'll get more for our money and we won't have to pay utilities, etc and since we will be losing money renting our house it just makes more sense. So, that is the plan for now. It may be a crazy claustrophobic chaotic plan but we can make it work. My FIL's camper is pretty nice and decent sized so we'll be okay. Plus everything we have right now fits into our SUV so it isn't like we have too much stuff. It will make our stuff that much more appreciated when we finally get it. Plus when I start homeschooling Ethan I can be one of those crazy homeschooling backwoods types. It'll be cool. Haha!! Before you know it I'll start putting pics of Ethan that look like this: :mullet: He'll fit right in. AND...I got my gazing ball. I just need to get a stand for it. So, I think I must find that stand asap and put it up in the camp ground. We actually called the campground today and it is only $15 a day for full hookup. You can't beat that. I'm not going to like the bugs much and am going to have to find a way to keep them away. Any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking forward to the cockroaches and mosquito bugs the size of my hand. I think I shall just invest in full-body mosquito netting. Ugh!!
Anyway, i do have some really cool stuff coming up...I had really hoped to be able to meet up with sally and Linda. Not sure if that is happening or not but if they were doing that I wanted to do it. But thanks to a bout of the flu
yesterday there was just no way but it is okay because I finally after months of looking and talking about it, I finally made my reservations to hang out with our very own Nana and her family at Myrtle Beach on Sunday through Wednesday with my kids. Derek has to start signing in and getting ready for work and all that yuck so he can't come. Lame!! But we're gonna play. Ethan is excited because we left right after going to the Oregon Coast and now we get to go to the beach on the East Coast. So, that is a cool thing for him. Once I get back I get to meet up with miss Andrea aka mrsaboyer. Her husband is also stationed at Ft. Bragg. So she can help me get situated there some. Which like I was saying earlier...The Daily O's have saved my butt through this time even if I'm not able to stop in everyday like usual. I think about you guys all the time still. I was so jealous about the lunch today. I was just outside the window of closeness. ugh!! Hate that!! I sure hope you guys had a blast and hope we get to hear all about it.
Anyway, it is now 4:00AM so I should probably wrap it up and say good morning/nite to you all. I just wanted to write and say how I was doing. I've been posting on FB with little tidbits and stuff and trying to post my pics on FB when I can. I've done and seen some pretty awesome stuff over the past few weeks. Wyoming was an amazing state to see. I loved going to Amish country. I learned so much about them. They are an amazing people and I got some really cool pics. Oh, I also got this really cool SD card called an Eye-fi card so all of pics load onto flickr on occasion, when I have wi-fi that the card likes. so check it out: clara.riggle.
I hope everyone is doing fabulously and I hope I am not too cranky when I do wake up in a few hours.

) or even just the multi-responses like chris, I'm just not that great at actually putting words to screen. Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with my strengths and stick to putting pictures on the screen (not that I'm actually designing anything right now lol)
I was sooooooooooooo disappointed!
