TUESDAY

Trying to get the HMIC to come up with a plan to move is exhausting. Very time I give him a plan he shuts it down. He goes from one thing one minute to another five minutes later. I'm in limbo, pack don't pack. AAAGGGHHHHH  he's driving me crazy. I don't want to carry a mortgage and pay rent. He doesn't know what he wants. MEN don't they know the woman always usually know whats best. So I might move this week or in June. I'll let you know when it happens.

My in-laws are in town for the week. Went shopping with my mother-in-law. I was ssooo good. Thought I wanted a cute snake print bag (very cute). Then realized it really didn't go with my uniform. You know the black yoga pants, white gap t with a touch of smeared food. So I put it back and snapped back into reality.

I haven't really posted many pics. I would love to show you the mess/chaos the house is in while in limbo. My camera is broken. The little big boy has broken yet another camera. Maybe that's a sign to go get a nice fancy camera. Trying to convince the HMIC hasn't been easy. He says I'll let the little big boy break that one too. I really want to just go get it. Some little voice in the back of my head (way in the back and very faint)  tells me that could be a new dishwasher. Like who wants to do dishes. I'd rather take pictures and think I'm a professional. I'll let you know what happens here. For now I have to borrow one or use my phone.

Enough boring you on a bunch of nothing. Till next time!!

Slipcover

Took a try at making my own slipcover. It didn't come out as nice as I thought.{ In my head it looked alot different.} I did have to step away from the project a few times but I managed to finish it. Here's the work in progress:

I won't lie I wanted to give up a few times. The chair sat there with scraps all over the place for a week. Finally I finished it and here's the final product.

Thanks to my impatience I didn't make a pattern. Which would of made it a WHOLE lot easier. But I didn't think I had time to make up a pattern. That was the impatient part of me. I just threw the fabric on the chair, cut and pinned.

Homeowners

Once again we've become homeowners. It wasn't as crazy of a ride as I thought it was going to be. We had friends telling us the process was painful now a days. Thank goodness it wasn't. Just alot of paper signing. This past month I've been anxious, nausea, and many other emotions. The first time we bought a house I didn't think much and just signed my life away. This time it was different. It seemed so FINAL. I think because this time the HMIC will no longer be in the military. No job {aaaagggghhhhh} he will be retired. It's the next chapter, the next half of our lives and that scares me. I hate not knowing what is going to happen. That control freak part of me can't deal with the no control part. Before if you asked where do you see yourself in a year, five, even ten I'd give you the same answer. Now I don't even know where I see myself in a month. My answer has changed. The time to leave this military life has come and it always seemed so far away.

I know what your thinking "Why did you buy a house if you don't know where you will be"?

This I do know:

I know the HMIC is retiring in a year. June of 2012
I know it would be the same to rent or buy.
I know I'm moving to Texas. HOTTT
I know I am being forced will have to get a job.
I know this will be home.

What I don't know:

What the HMIC will do after retiring?
What I will do?
What it will be like living close to family?
What our house looks and feels like?
What I will be doing in one, five or ten years?
If the kids will transition from being military brats to regular kids?
If they will like the new school that they can't change in a few years?
Will the teenager stay in a small town or will he want to leave?
When will we be moving to Texas?

These are just a few random things in my head right now. And the reason I can't breathe. Like George Lopez says: "I have a pain in my chest and I can't breathe".

Next week we will be going to Texas to visit the house. Take some stuff and get a feel for the new house. Maybe then we can come up with a plan and decide when the big move will happen.
