Today begins week six of Jeff being in Virginia and the rest of us being here. On the one hand, this has been easier than I thought it would be. But it certainly doesn't bite any less. The whole thing stinks. I want my husband to come home and stay home. I don't like this mostly single parent thing at all.
To make matters worse, there is some question about whether this job will really work out or not. By the end of the month he may actually be on a different job, in a different state (where? I don't know. Wheee!). Everything is up in the air.
I hate not being able to plan. I'm still packing, because I may as well still pack. Even if this job doesn't work out, we'll still need to move soon, either for another job, or just to get into a house that better fits our size. We still need to declutter. We still need to paint and recarpet. None of that will change.
I can't plan Solstice/Christmas, though, or buy anything for it. Good thing I had already planned on making a great many gifts this year.
I would just like this to end, but instead we get more uncertainty.
Well.
Two more weeks, and we'll be looking at a long Thanksgiving weekend. Three more weeks and I should have some answers, whatever they may be.
8:30. Time to go drag the kids out of bed, and drink more coffee.
Posted by Steph at November 10, 2003 08:26 AMHow frustrating for you! I know exactly how you feel. I hate the unpredictability that this type of change brings to my life. My DH is often headhunted and will go through the interview process "just in case".. we recently considered moving ourselves a state over and I cringed at the thought of starting all over again. What type of field is your DH in??
