Homesick

It is nice and sunny outside and I am inside feeling blue. I am homesick. For Hawaii.

I know that sounds odd being born and raised in California, but Tim and I both consider Hawaii home. It is the first real place that we were together almost full time as a family. Sure, he traveled but he wasn't only home on weekends and gone for six months at a time.

This move to Washington has been hard. I am grateful to my mom and Pete for letting us stay here but at the same time it is hard sharing a house with other people when you are used to having your own space. I love the area, the weather and all of that. But I am farther away from my friends. Yes, we have made new friends but it isn't the same.

I can't replace Tam, Ashley and Lisa and I miss them all tons.

Strike, you're out!

I have written 3 different posts this morning and have deleted them all. I really have nothing to say.

Tim got a job. Good pay. He started yesterday. There shall be no more blogging on this subject. I would like for him to keep it.

Jack Johnson has a song titled Banana Pancakes, how awesome is that?

I hate when people type kewl in place of cool. I may have already said that here, but it bears repeating because I really, really hate it.

Did you know that Who Can It Be Now was sung by Men at Work? Hmmm, I didn't.

Do you consider System of a Down punk? Cingular does, I am not so sure I agree.

I need a new ringtone for my cell, I can't pick mine out of a crowd. People are starting to leave me nasty messages saying that I never answer my cell. I probably get dirty looks and eye rolls too, I know I give them when someone doesn't realize that the sound they hear is their phone. Hello??

Hmmm, maybe I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2 is a good choice for me. That way I look and sound like an idiot when my cell is buried in my purse.

The cats piss me off.

The military pisses me off too.

Should there be a comma between off and too in that last sentence? I need a grammar/punctuation lesson.

This post was filler and sucked. Sorry you wasted your time.

Crap, now I am off to research proper comma usage.

Wanted:A Stress-free Future

Yikes!

I have officially gone from slightly stressed to OMGWTF!!11!! stressed. What the hell were we thinking when we decided to pick up and move 1,300 miles away from steady income? Did we not think this through? Are we fricking nuts?

Tim had an interview this past week that went very well but we are still waiting to hear back from them. They did say we would know by the beginning of this coming week, I just want to know RIGHT NOW. He is officially unemployed in exactly 2 weeks, 14 days, one more paycheck, holy hell.

We had originally decided that Tim would find work and I would stay home with the chicklets until Bai started school. That sounded like such a good idea in the beginning. Now I am not so sure. I hate to put the kids back in daycare. I want to stay home and volunteer at the school and be able to take the kids back and forth to extracurricular activities and go on field trips and be able to pick them up when they are sick and get them off to school each morning and pick them up each afternoon. But really? I want to be more financially secure.

Which is more important in the long run? Does anyone have the answer?

Send the rescue squad

I am sitting here with my laptop trying to blend in with the green fabric of the couch.

Mom and Pete are on the other couch arguing. Not fighting so much as he is being obstinate and she is trying to get him to do something.

I am sitting very still trying to go unnoticed. Maybe if I don't move they won't pull me into the conversation. Tim was sitting here with me but he tossed my ass to the wolves and went to get a haircut. I am afraid that if I get up I will draw attention to myself. Please send help, the conversation is escalating!

I have pics from yesterday, I just need to figure out how to get them from my phone to lappy.

Um, wow...

I knew it had a been a few days since I last posted. I didn't realize it had been 9 days. Holy geez, I am a huge slacker.

To make it worse I don't have anything awesome or inspiring to write about tonight. We have been doing tons of stuff, I just haven't gotten on the laptop to write about it. Tomorrow, I promise I will have more. Working with clay with 6 and 7 year olds, an Easter egg hunt, plastic shoes, catnip mice and more.

Tomorrow we are going to see the Grossology exhibit at the PacSci Center, that should provide tons of entertainment! Boogers, snot, bodily noises, what more could you ask for?
