Getting Ready for a BIG LIFE CHANGE!
You those words have always caused me to stop dead in my tracks. They always mean a whole LOT OF WORK. . And usually done by dear old mom with very little back up. Well this time around it will be a bit different. You see, my kids are now older, and I am wiser (notice I didn't say I WAS OLDER! ~ I'm not . . . RIGHT???)
Anyways, We have been dealing with DH's health. Mainly his ticker with a short fuse and tendency to spaz out and quit on us. So this has created quite a stir for our family. We knew it would the second they said the word pacemaker, but you always kind of have a thought in the back of your mind that constantly says "well maybe it'll work out better than you think."
that's not to be this time. In fact the idea has me so terrified that I am not even sure what TO THINK! LOL
DH has been given his walking papers. After 16 years in the navy, They are going to discharge him in 90 days. (With an honorable discharge!) BUT they have deemed him to only be sort of 'bounced around" and therefore, he's of no worth to the navy, and certainly isn't worth his retirement that he has worked all these years for. He will be getting a severence pay, which is good as it will give us a large nest egg for a house when we move, but it's still not the retirement that we were banking on.
So now have less than 8 weeks to pack and get moved to our beloved home in Idaho. Which we have missed to the extreme. But, we have no income to fall back on. So this is TERRIFYING!! No income, no medical, no dental, no home to live in, but a bit of cash in our pockets--months after we move out there. LUCKILY!! We do have a bunch of family that will back us up if we need them.
So for the next few weeks my time on this and all homeschooling projects will be limited. I will get the kids to finish our ocean box and do our science expirements. After that, I am pretty much closing down shop until we get moved. UGH this has been a hard year to finish out. I don't know if I should just push the rest of the "plan" on to next "school year" or just keep at it and get to it when we do.
I am very thankful that I know that Heavenly Father has a PLAN! because ours just flew out the window. I know that though It seems pretty scary right now, He will come through for us, He always does. So though I'm more nervous that truly terrified (I do love a good exageration!) I am not full of fear.
So folks, please be patient with me if I don't get your emails answered!! I will as soon as I can.
