It's been over two weeks since I saw the kiddos and I am having a harder time than I thought I would. Add to that I had a house full of people for four days and they all left at the same time and I am quite lonely. For the first day or two I enjoyed it....cherished my quiet time. Maybe if I was near to the people I love but still alone as I have been it would be different, however they are over 1200 miles away and that seems to make it worse somehow.
I have been sitting in orientation for three full sunshine filled days. How come when I was working nights and had days off it was cloudy and rainy (still 80 degrees however) and now that I am sitting in a classroom staring out the window the palm trees are blowing in the balmy ocean breeze with a clear blue sky background? Two more days to go in the classroom and I bet it's going to stay sunny....any takers on that bet?
I finally went to have my car looked at and lo and behold it couldn't possibly be something simple like the cellinoid for the transmission, but the whole transmission. My estimate for a rebuilt one is $2400 and 2-3 days of work. There goes all the money I have coming! I am going to start working per diem at another job so that will help to supplement my income and allow me to save for the big move when the kids come.
On the bright side, I am finally in Florida...I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I didn't think it would be quite this hard. I didn't expect all the kinks thrown into the mix with this move. From now on maybe I should look at the dark side instead of the bright side? :)
Also, I started couponing and saved a bunch of money for my first time out. I will get better with time. I spent $66.53 for $141.91 worth of groceries and that was pretty exciting. As if I didn't have enough to do with my time....LOL...but it's a huge high for me and it's saving money for the family. Can't beat that!
Never thought I would see the time that 9:30 PM was late for me but it is since I have to be up by 6 AM at the latest to get ready and be at orientation by 8. Off to dreamland.....
