So we still haven't been picked for orders yet. Big sigh. It's getting down to the wire, and super stressful. In a perfect world, we would've known where we were going by now, and we'd have "hard" orders cut, and we would be making new living arrangements, or buying a house, or those kinds of things. But no. We are set to move in November, and still have absolutely no freaking idea where that will be. Honestly, I wouldn't be complaining (well maybe a little bit) if I wasn't pregnant and worried about where my family will be living for the next 3 years, not to mention, with a newborn. What if we have to move to another country? Shoot, even Hawaii (which hands down I am loving the idea of more and more every day) would be tough because of flying with a newborn, and the rules about quarantining our dog for X amount of days. Even though it's a "state" it's an island and they worry about disease and whatnot. I get it. But it would still be stressful. The whole topic is stressful, but it is nice to know and very reassuring that some people in Hubby's command have his back and are trying to help us.
Then there's this "family" issue. It just seems like everyday, family feels further and further away. NOT everyone, but some are just becoming more and more distant. "Some" is really fine with me, but it's still hard because no matter what, it is family and even if you want to be close (in a communication sense) maybe it's better to not be. It's a hard pill to swallow, but I guess unless you really really really try hard enough, people just grow apart. Even family members. It's really not a "new" issue, but it seems like things are spreading thin these days.
I've been a pretty diligent "pinner" these days. I've got soooooooo many "crafts" I want to do before (if) we leave WA. I get so excited about doing it, but to actually physically go out and find the stuff and sit down to make it seems exhausting. Not really exhausting, but more like the only time I'd be able to do it is when little man is napping and well, I'm selfish. That's "me" time for blogging, or watching [grown-up] TV, or working out, or doing homework. I need to find a balance with things...and soon. (Like, before October soon!) Ok, well, with all of that being said, I'm going to make a schedule for myself. Like, divide nap time up into 30 minute intervals of things I want to do. That really only gives me 4 tasks to be completed, but that's better than none right?! Holla...getting organized already!
And of course I must leave a picture for you all to see :) Later Gators!
(Forgive the scratches in the screen...Bear is a baby when he wants to come inside)
And SPEAKING of Bear...this video kind of makes me laugh. He barks, hears his echo, and barks at it. It makes me laugh :) And I need a good laugh today.
