Staying behind with 4 kids


How hard can it be to stay behind while my husband processes out in San Diego?  Well, let me tell you it is no easy job and the picture says it all.  Lol

Joe has been gone now 2 1/2 weeks and everything in me has been tested.  There is the selling of the last few items (the biggest one is Joe's Hyundai Tucson), making sure the all the paperwork is completed so the van can be sent back to the states and make the appointment for shipment, get all the records from medical and dental to take with us, make sure all our prescriptions are filled to last a couple months while we look for a doctor, sign the lease and pay rent to stay in the house on base so we are not homeless, and the list goes on.  Let's not forget in addition to dealing with the coordination of the move, there is the daily life stuff to coordinate too.  

Ayden has appointment after appointment and so does Zachary and me.  Having the worlds largest Typhoon swing just past the Guam and with no generator, shopping for the possibility of the power going out (which it doesn't  of course because I was ready).  Make sure everyone is aware of last day our children are attending school (kids go 2 hours a day for specials) and daycare.  Not to mention the kids are homeschooled so I have to make sure they do their work and keep on task while going through the last few things before we pack our final suitcases.  FUN!  The good news is, kids are forgiving and forgive you when you spend less time with them.  The bad news is, kids are evil and take advantage of there being just one parent.  LOL  

It has been stressful but it is worth what is to come next in 1 week, a dream come true, moving to Thailand.
