How About Iola,KS/Ty-Ty/Me

So after I did all that calling and found us a new place to live, Derek calls. They switched towns.  Of course they did.  So they will be working in a town called Le Roy, KS. But we will be staying in Iola, KS. We will be a little over 2 hours from home. We will be staying in motel for the rest of the week. Then on Saturday after Derek gets out of class we will move the RV down and get things set up.  That is if they don't change there minds again.

So moving on. Tyler. OH Tyler. That boy I think started his terrible twos. He has been testing the waters a bit to much lately. The process of the pacifier is coming along. He only has it at bedtime.  He is all most to the point where he forgets about it. So  I hope it will be gone before to long. He has started saying Ty-Ty which is so cute. But has also starting taking off his cloths:-/ Every time I turn around I am having to get onto him and put his shirt and pants back on. GRRR I don't like it. He love veggie tales. And this weekend we are taking him to see Veggie Tales Live. I can't wait.  I know he is going to love it!

Independence,KS

Is going to be are next stop. We will be moving there tomorrow. I always hate going from a big city to a little rat hole of a town with nothing.  The town has one ran down motel from what the guys say.  If that's how guys describe it you know it can't be pretty. Good thing we have the RV. Lets just hope it makes the trip. I have been searching all day for a KOA park. But there is none in that area. So my days of free cable and wifi on the road may be over. The only good thing about the move is we will be closer to home. Anywhere from two hours or even an hour. Depending where we find a camp ground. I have a list of numbers to call and get info on. I also needing to  be organizing and packing up in the RV for stuff don't dump out everywhere when driving.

Melt Down!?!

I think so. So in the three years of being on the road with Derek's schooling and training I had my first melt down last night. It was awful. I have been able to deal with it all up until the last month before he is done. What is that about? Maybe it is just three years worth of stuff all hit me. I don't know. I do know I want to be home.  These last few weeks have been the worst. The stress is so high right now because of the job.  We will be moving locations sometime this week. But don't have any idea where.  Derek should be done. But they are giving him the run around. They are making him go to class. Even though he has everything done. So when he goes to class he will just be sitting there.  I am so sick of it. It has been three long years of them telling us your moving here and there. Month after month. Year after year. Them being in control of  OUR life. Well I want my life back please. Okay so it hasn't all been bad times. Our family couldn't have bonded and been this close had we been at home.  We would never have experienced half the things we have. It's all really bitter sweet.

Can I Get OFF!?!

I want off of this two year roller coaster=/ The end is so very close and moving back home but yet so far. We have been up down up down. Derek has called and talked to them. But it just seems like they are dragging there feet about it. It is so dumb. We are so ready to be home. It has been so rough these past few months.  To make things worse, Derek has gotten a call from home saying they have a job for him. They don't know how long it will be open though. The hours are perfect. Pay is great. Staying in our house. 15 minute drive to show up for Derek. And the list keeps going. It is so hard to be in the spot we are in. We know Gods will is for us to be back home.  But not being able to be there feels well words can't describe it.  I am finding it harder and harder to hold it together. I see my son starting to suffer in they way we are having to live. Traveling so much is taking a toll on  him. Having to stay in a little RV and not have playing room.  And not getting to spend time with his family. I just want things normal and settled.

Another Process

Well I  have started another process with Tyler. Getting rid of the pacifier. This week he was only able to have it at nap time when laying down and at bedtime and you guess when laying down. If he sat up I took it. And boy was he not happy. But it is now Thursday and he is doing great with that. Being he had to have that thing 24/7. And when he got hurt. He is growing up fast, and I don't want a 4 year old with a plug. So it is time. I hope he gives it up as easy as breaking him from nursing. But I am afraid it's going to be hard. I don't want to take it from him and him start sucking on his thumb. So we will take it one baby step at a time. Just as long as its gone by age 2. lol

Teething = Death!

Okay it's not that bad but real close. For the past week Tyler has been teething. It has been the worst thing ever. 103 fever not eating, drinking. or sleeping. I have never seen him in so much pain. It was awful. Teething tablets didn't help like they used to. The numbzit burned and hurt him.  Drinking apple juice burned his gums. Then his gums started bleeding. Then they decide to come threw a week later. Not fun at all. But we made. We should a have a month or so before we have to do this all over again.

Just For Fun=)

I know we aren't "Newlyweds"  but I thought it would be fun. We will be married 5 years this month.
