This last month I have grown up, a lot. I, really we, were fairly confident that we would be moving closer to "home" (as you may remember me saying this before). Then we were told to wait. We waited... and waited and five months later (Damn. This has been an ordeal.) we found out that we would NOT become Mountaineers (not that a Buckeye can ever REALLY become a TRUE Mountaineer). We thought it was clear and simple. WV was out so we will move to San Diego, CA. Well, maybe. Hopefully. We were told to wait. We thought CA would be an easy process. Relatively speaking. We especially thought it would be a fast transition. Now we are waiting, again...
I am much more laid back about moving now and I must say, if that is what I was meant to learn from this, it has been a good thing.
Second lesson learned: STOP buying the small ketchup and mayonnaise bottles. You lose more money in the end. So just give up buy the Costco-size (AKA giant) containers.

I absolutely understand what you're going through. We're living in Heidelberg waiting on an S3 or XO job elsewhere in Germany. I'm trying to remain calm, cool and collected. In the back of mind I think, "Will I be able to have my home birth or have to move at the last minute, scrambling for a new midwife, etc. Then, there's the school issue: Send Olivia to German Primary school or a DoD's school. Primary school gets out in late July, DoD's in mid-June. If we get orders for next summer, how would I handle Olivia finishing German school since it gets out long after DoD's. The list goes on. But, I feel calm. We'll wing it and figure it out as we go along!! It will be ok. I love your positive attitude! Keep it up - it rubs off!
My gosh woman, how much ketchup and NATO do you use?! I'm glad that you can be calm about your move or not.
