So...our move to the Tri-Cities is complete. We are all settled (cough, cough) here. Never mind the fact that the kids and I have been sick (one sinus infection, ear infections and pre-pneumonia is all) and we are stuck seeing "urgent care" doctors because no one can see "new patients" for over a month and a half. (Don't mind us....we'll just DIE in the hall while we wait!).
The kids are all on antibiotics and our gas to the house was shut off yesterday (mix up with the gas company). No worries....it is back on. Rob was the only one that had to brave a cold shower. I chose not to shower at all (which greately improved my mood, you can imagine).
So far I have had to clean up mice dropping in the garage (left from the previous tenants who had food in plastic bags in the garage...duh!), dealt with ants running a muck in the house, lots of spiders and flying bugs.......EVERYWHERE! I feel creapy crawly things on me all of the time. I'm probably NOT imagining it, what with the infestation and all.
A few days into the move, Rob gets a letter from the IRS informing him that he has a tentative job offer with them. They want to know if he is going to accept it. ("WHAT????.......YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE ME FOR SIX MONTHS AND MAKE ME MOVE AGAIN TO ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES.....OR PUERTO RICO? DO YOU NOT REALIZE I AM ALREADY CHEMICALLY UNBALANCED?") No firm decisions yet but I believe we are going to be staying here in Richland. Hopefully!
Do I seem a little grumpy? stressed? insane? The answer is "yes," "yes," "yes." Nothing a little Prozac cant fix!
No really......I am very happy for our new surrounding and Rob's new job. They have been very good to him so far and I am really impressed with them. Not to mention Rob's work schedule is AWESOME. He works MTWR 9hrs.....F 8hrs on week and gets the next friday off. They call them "Hanford" Friday's here. It's pretty cool.
Gabe has already found "friends" here to play with. Although he is completely put out that they can be over at the house 24/7. Or, ever, so far but we have been sick. Don't want to pass it on.
The ward is very welcoming and I think we are going to like it here quite nicely.............at least once I get on something (you think I'm kidding.......sooooooooo NOT kidding!).

Oh Mel!! No fun for sure. I hope you get into a groove soon, and settle in. We close on our house on the 24th, not nearly soon enough, but it is what it is. We're excited to move, it's the only thing keeping me moving somedays...
I'm glad you're getting on something, but you already know that ;)
Hang in there my friend. Take care of yourself.
I will be thinking about you...gotta love the crazies...sometimes I feel like they are our evil best friend.
I am glad that your ward seems nice.
I sure hope EVERYONE gets feeling better soon! We all sure love you guys. I hope there are people in your new ward you can hang out with. I miss our chats on the lawn!
Good luck! It could always be worse. How you might ask? Oh wait I recommend you don't ask, because as you ask you shall receive. Best wishes!
Give it some time and try not to sweat the small stuff-if you can try to think of it as 'small stuff'. Hope your ward continues to be welcoming & friendly-great wards make all the difference. And at least you have the upper hand on me and aren't nearly as shy. Knowing you, you'll have friends in to time. Just remember the Lord knows exactly what you're going through-let him bless you! Youre where you're supposed to be
About the chemically imbalanced thing, I figured you must have been a long time ago or you would have never accepted Rob's proposal for marriage.
