No, I will not fall for the sweet talk of uplifting happy voices, the ones laughing in the back ground encouraging me to be hopeful that I may actually be on track for once in the last 9 months. My brain says it's just not a wise thing, but my heart longs for the thought that things might be actually moving forward!
So while I don't breath, my face is turning blue and all of the oxygen is leaving my brain, here it is. Scott signed for our house today, it is a brand new house, nothing has been touched by anyone else but the actual builders and of course inspectors. It has all new appliances, new, new, new! The movers should be contacting me soon to arrange to come and pick all of our stuff up and transport it on to the Artic Abyss. Were by the way the last two days it has been above 0 degrees I think it was in the 40's yesterday, while we here in Cali are enjoying 80's the last two days. So not to be side tracked or anything but....he takes possesion of the house on tuesday of next week where he will be staying there with nothing but his aquired Army Gear.
So we are most definetly making use of the next couple days, never thought that 38+ years of crap can be gotten rid of so fast. Hope I don't go over board, never thought I would be so thrilled to see a garbage can or bag. Keep loading them up! The kids are most definetly getting a lesson in how to move. They will never be able to say that mom didn't prepare them to be able to pack their stuff and move on. Seems I am getting better at getting rid of things then getting them. Kind of Scary! Aren't you supposed to get more as you get older?
So on we go....I have to schedule to have the van shipped which would be better to have that happen now so it will arrive sooner in Alaska since the current wait seems to be at least a month. Which either way will leave me without a vehicle either here or there. Losts of cleaning, cleaning before the movers come, clean after the movers come, clean the house, the garage, and the yard. I'm glad my house wont have to be cleaned, oh wait my husband the geographical bachelor will be in it for a while before I get there so maybe there will be cleaning, damn it all!?
I will keep blogging and keep you posted as I go, so for now I will exhale slowly and keep my wits about me and hope that those happy voices are all going to ring true, 'til the next time ~~~

Not So Fast
Not So Fast!!
I have finally hit that point were I am realizing that everyone of my family and friends will have in the back of their mind forever more these thoughts when I speak, "Alright you can hear what she is saying, but remember when she talks you either feel a knot in the pit of your stomach or you are completely up in the clouds by what she has to say. So please listen with care, it may change tomorrow or next week, NO IT WILL CHANGE TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK!" I want so bad to not spread my ever changing day to day turmoil amongst you all, but what would be the fun in that! If my life has to be stuck on the glass of a revolving door of down town New York why shouldn't you get to enjoy the havoc also.
So here it all is again, I am honestly sparing you the three other occasions in the last couple days that have made our life stop cold on the needle that it is spinning on. Scott is not deploying with the rest of the replacements today, he and two other soldiers are waiting on their EFMP families to join them in the Arctic Abyss. He most likely will deploy with the next rotation in February, lets hope it's after my birthday (just a bit of greed on my part there). So in between all of that he has submitted all the paperwork for command sponsorship, housing, and all the EFMP. Once he gets command sponsorship the move should be in full swing. Now I have no clue how long it will take, since this is my first time and all. But I would imagine that it will be by February, but again who really knows.
Scott has seen the doctor and has an appointment with a Orthopedic Surgeon on Friday, the knee just isn't looking/feeling right. But the plan at this point for that is that if he needs surgery he will ask that it be done when he returns home. I do know the location of were he will be, but do not feel comfortable posting it on here so if you are interested shoot me an email and I will let you know. Also he has seen the doctor and has had a 25 decibel loss of hearing on one ear so he will be going to an ear doctor here shortly also. Maybe they will make him the custom fit ear plugs he was supposed to get after BCT finally.
Now on to us....the kids have all returned to school, well all but one. Tyler is being home schooled again until we move. Some of the kids at his and Ashley's school are real downers when it comes to the whole military thing and things got pretty rough for him, his grades were suffering and his self esteem. I took him out 3 weeks before the semester ended so he could attempt to get his grades back up prior to the grading period without such negative outside stimulus. He did well and as of Monday was enrolled in a local charter school. Ashley is enjoying here class schedule for her last semester as a high school student, 2 real classes, 1 TA, and no last period, who wouldn't be happy with that. Kailee has returned to school a whole NEW kid, new BLACK clothes with a whole New style. She seems to be rockin' it all very nicely!! Me I returned to the Rheumatologist after what 3 or 4 years. Of course he ran blood tests and xrays...and added Lupus again to the melting pot of diseases that are attempting to over take my being. It turns out that I am and have been severely Vitamin D deficient for the last couple of years. He put me on high doses of Vit. D and is hoping that things look up. The deficiency causes fatigue, muscle weakness, depression and increased pain among other things, so as my levels rise I in all reality should be feeling much better. I have been on the Vit D for 9 weeks now and do see an increase of energy, the light fog of depression has lifted and the muscle weakness is being helped with the addition of the daily trips to the local gym. But I have not seen a difference in the pain level, he did however suggest Tylenol Arthritis three times a day, much better for the organs than the Vicodin. That has helped ease my pain.
Wow, OK I hadn't planned on this being that long, but I guess I had more to say than I realized. So always on the Fast Track, It's Just NOT SO FAST, right now!!
