Coming Home

So about a week ago I found out that I was going home two weeks earlier than what was planned. With this news I am happy to be finally going home. At the same time I will miss some of the what are everyday things I get to do here. One thing that I am most happy about, I know it should be getting to see my mom, dad and other friends again but, it is getting to have my own car again. I know that seems selfish but I will be able to go places when I want with out having to wait for the car and then when able to go its either to late, or she is to tired and I can't go cause I have to watch the baby. I know that sounds stupid because that is what I am here for but the way that I understood it when I took the job was that when she would be coming home from work I wold get to do what I wanted and not have to be the only one taking care of her child. There are times that I just want to have time for my self and when I do get the car I am going and getting something for her that she doesn't want to go do herself and I have to take the baby or I get to go do what I want to and I have to be back when she wants me back but she never gives me a time limit so I will be in the middle of doing what ever I finally got to do and she is calling and asking me when I will be home and why I'm taking so long. There was this once I was just running to Walmart to pick up a few things that she wanted to and i needed a few things too so I was taking my time trying to relax and I just get in the store and she is calling me asking how much longer I will be. It was kind of like this when we first came but I thought she was just being protective. Well the longer I am here the more stuff she is making me do. It is so bad that she makes me make her coffee and that's what ever cause I have some too, but when its done brewing and she tells me to bring her her cup of coffee so that she doesn't have have to get up. I wouldn't mind if she was doing work when she asked but she is always just checking facebook or watching T.V. When I took this job I didn't know that this is what I was signing up for. I guess this is one of those things that parents tell you, "you don't really  know what you are in store for" again parents do know what they are talking about.

Well Here We Go!

So as I talked about in my last few posts my transition from WI to VA went well and is going well. The only thing that seemed to take forever was the trip here. Contrary to what you may think we didn't get a moving company and fly here. We rented a U-haul, packed it up, and the next morning we left at 2 A.M. Yes as any teenager would do I didn't go home and go to bed I stayed up so I could get my second wind. The drive that we made was not that of one or two or even three hours. This was a 16 hour drive but with traffic, gas stops, tolls, food stops, turns into a 20 hour drive. Well for the first four and a half five hours I didn't drive but I didn't sleep either. Well I guess I did sleep but it was for 15 minutes and I felt so awake after that. Well about the third stop after we had just gotten into Ohio I took over and started to drive. Well this would have not been that big of a deal because I have driven a truck/SUV before. But this was completely different I have never driven with a trailer before. This was not one of those little two wheel trailers, this was a four wheel, tires wider than the truck and the trailer, 6X12, packed with half of a house. So with no experience under my belt and if something would go wrong not an option here situation I took the wheel like I have done this a million times. For how I thought it was going to be to how it was was not to different. With two monsters, a small orange juice and a coffee down in just over four and a half hours, with remind you no sleep in about what was a good 18 to 19 hours I was ready to go up against the world. I drove through Ohio and through about half of West VA. For about the last about 130 miles Sam took over and drove again because we were getting in to the hills and he had driven them before whereas I have not. By the time we reached the apartment we had both been up for over 38 hours. Well after the 20 hours of driving when we got out of the car we were both happy because we knew we didn't have to get back in the car to drive for what seemed to be forever. Well we didn't just go inside and go to bed with unpacking just what was necessary, but we did go and lay on the floor for about a half hour. Well after those 30 minutes we went to the trailer and unpacked the whole thing. Not how you may think of unpacking we just took the stuff out and brought it all inside, so more emptied the trailer. After that we ordered out so at around 11:30 not much is open but Deney's was so we ordered went got the food and then ate. well after eating we still didn't head to bed. By the time we headed to bed it was already 2:30. Well today Sam and me didn't get up until around 1:30 the only time I got up was to feed Arovo and put him back to bed. Well after getting up we started to unpack right away. Well with sleeping for over half the day, unpacking and the little bit of running around we had to do we got all the unpacking done in about half a day. To some this may not be at all exciting but for me it is life changing. But so far in the two days of this new step in my life I feel that I have accomplished so much. As my summer here in VA  goes on I will also keep you in the loop of the what may be crazy, boring, unimaginable, or just the every day life stuff.

~The Steps that you take are never to big~

Reality

So I have 3 days left before my summer is invaded by my job. I know with all of this I don't really sound happy about leaving. But that is not the case at all. The truth is that when you are one of those people who puts everything off tell its the day before, things always get messy. Well in these last three days I have to do my two months worth of laundry, pack, make sure I have everything, double check everything, see a few more people, and then I be leaving. The though of having to do all of this makes my head want to explode. Of course just like any other time I try to start my laundry I get one load done and end up getting distracted by other things. This time is no different I am distracted by blogging about this and of course like any teenager facebook. So here I go I'm going to try to get back on task and do all the things that I have to complete in the next two days. Wish me luck. I'll give you and update as soon as I have one of how my list is coming.

One out of a Million

    In 5 days I'll be gone for 9 weeks. In those nine weeks I will be taking care of a 5 month old. When the nine weeks are over I will be flying back to Green Bay with the baby and he will be staying with his dad and I will be going over and talking care of him while his dad is at work. In this process of getting ready to go I have to decided how many clothes I will bring. With the all of the things that I have to do before I leave I don't know when I am going to have enough time to do it all. About the only thing that I have gotten done that I had to do before I leave for the summer was to apply for my passport. This is the only thing I have completed in my list of about a million things to do.

It's Been A While

     So I know that it's been a very long time since I have been on here and updated whats going on in my world. So its almost to the end of the school year when all of the papers for all the classes are do and finals are mixed somewhere in that mess that is the end of the year. and when i think about it I can't really rap my head around the fact that I'm going to be a junior. I feel as if its been just yesterday that I walked in to this school not knowing a single person and and being at the bottom of the totem pole as a freshmen. The thought of in just a little over two years i will be done with high school and I will be on my way to bigger and better things of college, a full time job, looking to settle down and maybe even start a family. When I look to this as what will as soon as I know it be the present it to me isn't scary but a little over whelming. This is what has been happening in my "High School Career" these last few weeks.
     The longer that I work at McDonald's the more I have been wishing and hoping to find a new job. As I have been turning applications all over and not hearing a word from any one I decided to take a brake and let things settle down and then start again. But the other day I came home from a softball game to have my mom tell me that I need to sit down because she needed to talk to me. My first thought was that I did something wrong at school and they called her but I could think of anything that I might have done. Then Thoughts of something went wrong, someone got hurt, or someone died started to go through my head. As I sat down to hear what she had to tell me before I started to panic. The first words out of her mouth were "This is something that is going to change your life forever." With hearing this I immediately went back to all the bad things. She then went on to say that she and my dad had been asked if I could move out to Virginia for the summer and be the family nanny. As soon as she told me this I was so excited that I said yes before she was even done talking. So some time this week end me and my mom are going to go over there and get all the details set out. So as I stopped looking for a new job a new one has decided to find me. So far I think my summer is off to a very good start and I don't know how much better it can get from here.
