Things have been plenty messed up since after Christmas here- and thus, plenty hard. Our car died- we could have repaired it, but the cost wasn't worth it. Then in very early Janurary, my beloved and adored step-dad had a massive heart attack andemergency bypass surgery- but has come out of it amazingly.
The final straw was hubby's work. His boss pulled him into the office three times in five days for an hour or better each time, mostly to complain that he "wasn't doing his job". One of these was a continuation of the rant that had started on the day prior to a WEEKEND! Worse, when his boss complained hubby wasn't doing his job, and hubby pointed out that by the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) he was doing his job... his boss wentoff on how my DH has just peeved him off.
Well, the third time (the time after the weekend) hubby had had enough- he quit!!! We'd already discussed going home, and by that time has decided we were going to do it- but we needed to wait till we got the money from Tax returns to do it. Still, it's been around two weeks since he quit- there's been some pretty major stressful moments, mixed with highs and lows... but the fact we're all FINALLY going home makes it all ok!!
DH should see his tax return tomorrow, but it may be as last as the 14th. We plan to move ASAP, but the actual "date" we have planned at the moment is the 15th... just 6 days!!! I'm just SO HAPPY!!
We'll all three be flying home, because it's actually cheaper now to have someone move our stuff for us (when we moved to OH, it was cheaper to do it ourselves).... which means I still have some packing to do, and stuff.... but my goodness. I can't believe it's almost here!!! After THREE YEARS!
Nathan will finally get to meet his maternal grandmother & step-dad, and his "auntie"- my best friend. He's going to finally have family around, and he'll get to see cats and dogs. It'll be odd seeing my neice and nephew (My original "kids"- I helped raise them), who have grown soooo much since I left, in so many ways...
Anyone in Oregon want some stable help, and mind going easy on a mildly bi-polar, socially anxious, very timid me?? LOL We'll be staying with my mother, about 1/2 an hour west of Salem (a lil place called Willamina, OR) until we get back on our feet. I'm going to learn to drive ASAP- there's no way I am living in the same state as my best friend and not going to go visit her! Oh boy.
Ahh, well, someone *cough*Nathan*cough* is getting really upset and wanting breakfast, so I'll go now and spare you all anymore of my ramblings
