Still Practicing Patience

Because when you are married to the military, you get alot of practice practicing being patient.

We still don't have written orders. And we are not moving to Cuba. Well, most likely not, but until things are in writing, stuff can change and things are REALLLLLLLLYYYYYY SLOOOOWWWWWW in getting to the writing part of the program this year.

But we have been informed that we should be moving to the DC area. Larry is supposed to be up there in June. JUNE. Do you know what tomorrow is? You betcha- June.

Taking deep breaths and trying really hard not to hyper ventilate.

Because the way moving within the military works is once you get your written orders in hand you can start the rest of the ball rolling such as scheduling movers, finding tenants for your current home, etc, etc.  However, the closer to said date you get, the more likely you are going to hear "well, our next avail appointment is Sept 2nd" and that just doesn't work when your dear hubby has to be working 6 hours away starting in July.


But since I refuse to be held hostage, I signed the boys up for summer golf league and Sonia has her jaw surgery scheduled for next week and has to have 6 weeks of follow up here (do the math, I'm committed to being here until at least mid July right now)

Plus housing wait list for on base housing is at least a year long.

Ok, the details will fall into place. I will be praying and trusting and not sure how those without some sort of faith do this sort of thing. Actually I think I know- they prescribe the sort of help you can use to get through this insanity.

Helloo, apt line? I'd like to schedule an appointment. Next available is end of August? never mind.
