home sweet home

At least, I think it's sweet.

I'm real excited to be back in my owm bed. Although I slept exceptionally well on the air bed at Jojo's I was real glad to be in mine. I never realized how firm it was. ....

So yeah, now that we are home I feel terrible. My throat is swollen, more snot than any one person should have, and to top it all of PMS!

ALSO, as soon as we got back, Matt's mom started in about us moving. Apparently she is planning to go to the NC beaches when we move adn we are supposed to go with them. Sorry lady. The reason we are moving is to GET AWAY from them (namely: her) and now they are following us?? She is in major denial, also. She was trying to tell us last night that you can't ever really say "we're moving at this time to this place", um yeah you can, and we did it. End of May, Fayetteville NC. She just keeps making comments about us staying here and about my family moving here to Oklahoma....not gonna happen. At first she tried telling us we cant move because the girls wouldnt be able to handle it emotionally. Sure that stinks but is that my problem?? I mean Matt and I have to do waht is best for US, not his little sisters. When Matt said I do he promised to take of me and my emotions, not me and his two little sisters, right??

Anyway, all the traveling, matts mom and not feeling good made me a big time grouch last night. Poor matt got the butt of it all , too. And now I feel annoyed again cause he wanted to sleep more instead of going to the grocery store to get me medicine. But i agreed to let him sleep so i shouldnt complain, right? Right.

Sadness

Well, so we've basically decided that we want to move back to NC. However this requires me finding a full time job.

I don't watch Henry full time.

You see my delimma? I have been crying all afternoon because I do not want to leave him. I keep praying that his mom will need me full time, that would be awesome. A little pay raise would be nice, also...

Just pray that if Henry doesn't work out, I will find something I enjoy just as much. I just emailed a nanny service (they had no phone number in their ad, just an email...waht is the world coming to!) anyway I emailed the nanny service to ask them some questions.

It just stinks...I love the little stinker so much, I do....but it's my reality if we want to move...

Memphis..??

Sooo the wedding is over. Really??

This all seems like a dream...

I had a good but chaotic weekend. I will write more about everything when I'm done processing..

We missed ya, Les!

The time has come

Well, my little bubba gets married this week....

I won't believe it till I see it.

I thought he was still 10 years old with no front teeth. Or even 3 years old wearing his little blue golashes and "muscle shirts" everywhere.....

Where has time gone??

Decisions, decisions..

Well, our lease runs out at the end of this month. We would like to move, but seeing as we're gonna be in NC, and we have to make a decision by the 15th of this month, I guess we are staying a little bit longer in our shoebox apartment. They are raising the rent again, but we get a 3% discount since Matt works for OU. Sooo....it's not quite 500 but almost, which is a lot for a small one bedroom apartment. But ya know, it works for what we need right now. We have room to sit, to eat, to sleep....so we are thankful.

Anyway, so this means that we most likely have to sign a 9 month lease. With a 9 month lease our rent will be 475....if we wanted a 6 month it would be 485. 3 Months more is worth saving 10 dollars, I suppose. If we signed a 6 month we would be moving right around Christmas time, which again we will be in NC....sooo, if we sign the 9 month it will be perfect. We'd be moving in March which means cooler weather and could even mean snow in Oklahoma. Anyway, all this to say that we are really praying about where to move after our next lease runs out. Be it to NC or somewhere else in Tulsa. We are real hesitant to sign a year lease because we feel like that is too much time here. We're torn because as much as it would be nice to have a break from Matt's family, we will miss them a lot. And I honestly don't know what Matt's mom would do without us here. THey depend on me and Matt for so much- literally to make decisions for them, to fix things when they are broken....but ya know what? We didn't move here to take care of them. She is a grown woman and needs to learn to be self sufficient. So do the little girls- they are 13 and almost 15 now. It's high time they got off the couch and stopped watching Disney channel and helped their 76 year old granda with THEIR laundry and their dirty dishes and cleaning up their own dang messes.

I really feel we will be leaving Tulsa but it's a feeling and you cant really base much off of those. They trick us a lot.

Keep us in your prayers. 9 months seems like a long time, but it's also no time at all. If we move to another state, we've somehow got to find AFFORDABLE housing plus jobs. Soooooo that's all for now.
