GUESS WHAT?
This is the way Korbin usually starts any sentence. Guess what mom? And then he proceeds to talk as if he ever stopped in the first place. That's what I do all day long-I hear GUESS WHAT MOM? I know he says things that are important and meaningful and I love listening to the little guy but honestly today-I just wish he would shut up. I am with him and Miss. Allie all day every day and I know already that it rained on us today and we fed the turtles and that Miss. Allie is one and that its really hot here and that I'm getting 'puffier' and so on and so forth. In fact I am escaping them right now to write this blog but he probably hasn't noticed my leave and will just keep talking anyway. Its constant and its annoying. If I am ever on the phone with anyone(and I haven't been on the phone alot because I would just complain) that is his cue to be in dire need of something and must speak up. And because I am TRYING to teach he stubborn little devil manners he just says 'Excuse Me' louder and louder till I want to whack him with the phone. I'm just tired and they don't seem to be at all...why oh why...

what do I say....
You know how blogs are supposed to be the 'sugar coated' version of our real lives well today its not.
Yesterday we were supposed to move into our new house in this new part of the country and start our new lives. Well...I am sitting in the hotel laundry place waiting for our clothes to dry and feeling sorry for myself. Lets start at the beginning shall we:
Four days before we move to Georgia Cheryl Byers (whom I really like)for Southren Nuclear Human Resources calls in a fluff about Jaxon still not being cleared for work that starts on the following Monday. She told us that Jaxon had to take some extra tests to clear that we wasn't crazy since he has depression and is on medication. Of course we were expecting this and said we would (we in all this really means Jaxon but I'm suffering here to so I get to say we) meet with any doctor from SLC to Augusta but in order for us to get there on the start date we had to start driving. She connected us to the company in charge of clearance and we held out an extra day to see if they would get on the ball and get Jaxon in for a appointment under the assumption that we would be moving our entire family across the country within 48 hours and this needed to be be EXPEDITED! I am not one to mess around-seriously if you need something done you ask me cause it happens, my tolerance for others with my life in their hands who dilly dally is not so hot.
We get in touch with the woman in charge of Jaxons file (whom I hope to never meet) and he makes himself as clear as water that he will do anything to receive this clearance and start on time. We leave-if you've read my other posts its been eventful. Moving on...
We get here and immediately get in touch with this person and she says something to to the affect that-oh, she didn't know where he was and couldn't schedule any appointment without talking to him. I am not so understanding towards this being as she has BOTH of our phone numbers and our travel plans for the week. deep breath
They allow Jaxon to start on time with the rest of the class. (He is being taught how to teach the way Southern Nuclear wants it done in the civilian world) He cannot turn on the beautiful new laptop they gave him and further more we don't officially work there without clearance so that means NO PAYCHECK. Which means NO CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE!
He goes to the appointment-a week later! again deep breath Brit! Thinks it is a success. Clearly not crazy and can more than handle this job and is ready to get going. We have every reason to believe the next Monday we will have received clearance and we can start relocation and put a final closing date on our home that we were so encouraged by the company to purchase the week we came out in June! As of this past Friday and countless phone calls back and forth we have heard nothing.
We prayed earnestly about this job and this move and this house and this ward. We felt this is where we should be. We have had every intention of settling here to raise our children and Jax to work here for a number of years. Now, if we continue to not receive a paycheck and wait and wait and wait for clearance we will be forced to look for another job. This devastates me. Jaxon. Us. If we could just live in a hotel forever that would be fine that they are taking sweet time but we cannot and should not have to live here any longer. Our savings-thank goodness we had some! But our sweet savings is being depleted quickly and if we have to make another move we have to do it fast. We fasted today and we still feel good about being here so if you would like please pray on our behalf. We are trying so hard to be faithful and patient. If we still have no clearance Jaxon will be back on the market as of this week. We really want to make this our home. So that is actually the sugar coated version of how I really feel- I have a few four letter words up my sleeve but its Sunday so your sparred!! Sorry my post are so dang long!!!

a good thing...
The sweet sound of my sleeping babes...
The little curls on the back of Alexzondras neck as she lays on her tummy cuddling her glow worm...
Korbin's sweaty boy hair that never smells clean enough (and yes I do wash his hair!) pressed against his tanned cheeks...
The two of them being quiet except for the occasional sigh and sniffle...
The happiness of my heart as I see them content waiting for our lives to start again and knowing that even though we are up-rooted and crazy they know we are together and that is all they need to sleep well at night...
its a good thing we have eachother...

Motorcycle Porn...
I would just like to say that anything one is addicted to is a sin. Isn't that what us Mormons are taught? Its not that caffeine is necessarily bad its that its addicting. So even if you never touched coffee but can't live without half a dozen Mountain Dews a day-you have a problem. Because your addicted to something. Not so serious but one should watch it.
Well we have come to a term used with Jaxon and I-Motorcycle Porn. If he is online he's looking at it. I feel so used, so unappreciated, so alone. Its becoming a real problem. Last night I was icky (I think I'm just getting used to this heat) and asked Jaxon to throw a load in. We live right next to our hotels laundry and its keyed entry and so we just go in and out as a load is being washed. We were supposed to have a mini date and I bought him Oreos and I got the movie Fireproof from a lady in the ward. So, he's gone a LITTLE bit longer than I'd like and when he comes back with a guilty look on his bearded (ew) face he smiles and only says "Sorry that motorcycle porn got me again." And yes I hit him. He will be doing the laundry for the remainder of our stay and I will eat his Oreos. little turd
