getting back in the swing of things.

So, how has this week been for me?
H***!

I've been trying to reintegrate myself back into Virginia life and it has not been to great for me! 

First, it's taking me a full week to get everything unpacked and in the right place. I have a horrible case of OCD ( I get it honestly from my mother.) I hate clutter and mess.
I live by the "everything has a place" motto.
The boys' room is the WORST room in the house.
I have gotten everything else in the house done but our and the boys' room.

Second, at the same time I'm trying to fix this apartment, I'm looking for another one. I hate that when it's time to find a place to live, DB is always conveniently underway or even better DEPLOYED!
I'm always communicating about our new place through email.
But, I think I found one.
I hope this is THE ONE, I'm tired of moving.
(this is the FOURTH apartment in 2 yrs, yea I know RIDICULOUS)

Third, school, work, and childcare!
Trying to get my job back has been the hardest thing yet, I need my Old Navy discount back!
The next hardest job is finding a childcare provider that is good enough for my babies. I'm torn between daycare centers a and home day cares.
Chubby would do great with home child care because he's an infant, but Monkey would do better with daycare centers to interact with other kids.
I'm just confused and hopefully I find one and SOON!
School really isn't that hard, but finding the time (and sitter) to go out to Va Beach is the issue!!

I'm definitely back in reality :-)

I'm BACK!

My past weekend/week has been really HECTIC. I finally got all of my things packed and ready to go back to VA and we left on Friday night. It took a whole car and truck to get me back home. I don't know how one large suitcase and 2 bags turned into a whole truck bed full of stuff, but it did and thanks to my step dad and godfather, we & it made it back safely!

When I finally got home, I walked up to find my door partially already unlocked (my deadbolt wasn't locked and I know I definitely locked it) When I walked in the house I seen my EMPTY television stand where the 50 in. flat screen used to sit and my closet rummaged through and PlayStation missing. Yes, we were robbed! Unfortunately, my backdoor doesn't have a deadbolt and the seal on the door is broken. So, whoever broke in came through the back and went out the front. I really feel bad because neither the TV or the PlayStation was ours. Luckily, the guy whose it is was fine and won't let DB pay him his money back. Needless to say, when DB does get home we'll be moving to VA Beach!

On a good note, DB's boat threw a party for the sailors in his department who had babies while they were gone. It really wasn't much but it's great they FINALLY acknowledged it! (that's him on the left :-)) Congrats guys!

My house is cluttered and I still haven't gotten around to fixing it. So my thoughts are just as cluttered. I guess I can say welcome back to reality, Meaghan!
