Day 5 Away From Home

Yes... ppl! I know! It has been 2 months since I've posted! Posting on my blog has been the last thing on my mind. While dealing with the whole job loss/unemployment issues, I've been in no mood to blog! God and my family have been the only thing keeping me going.
DH now has a job but it has temporarily relocated us from Louisiana to Oklahoma! Big change for us! We're living out of a extended stay hotel... BTW it's no picnic...4 ppl! 1 room! 2 beds in the same room as the couch & kitchen! hence it's a lil crowded, but we are making it!
'n Actually there should be 5 of us here and not 4...tis what I am liking least of all -- my 14 year old stayed behind for a doc appt and my parents were supposed to bring him to us in a week. Now they are talking about keeping him till we come home for our cruise (the 1 we've had scheduled/pd for forever ago...way before dh losing his job)!
Well....that's 2 more weeks away still...3 weeks being away from my kid! I know he's in good hands, but he's still my baby (even a@ 14) 'n well... I want him w/me!!!! (stamping my feet) :( So of course I am not sleeping much!
As I get ready to settle in for my 5th night away from home, I'll be praying for some sleep! It's not just this unsettling feeling b/c my entire family isn't together-- it's the city! I am used to serenity and sounds of nature!  This temporary home of ours is nestled between a major hwy and the interstate. I hear the roaring of traffic all night long. Living out in the woods, we get the crickets chirping, the occasional rooster crowing from some late night disturbance, and the dog's doing the twilight bark thing.  Oh the sounds of home... much more peaceful than this. I never thought I'd appreciate those barking dogs of ours and our neighbors! lol! I miss 'em already! and I miss my chickens and roosters and fresh farm eggs which I had to give away before we left :( So even when we get home... no fresh farm eggs! No cuddly rabbits either btw! We gave our 4 rabbits away, too :(  The dogs are in the care of my MIL. She wanted the protection and companionship, so it worked out well for them and her!
Anywayz... Just wanted to let you know what's going on in our lives, but it's time to read the Bible before everyone falls asleep, so will cut this short! Hope your last few months have been filled with God's love and blessings! 'n yep...I know I focused on some negatives tonight, and I am sorry... I will do my best to share some positives of our experience as I know there will be some... of course one positive is that dh has a job so that's a blessing... :)  til tomorrow!  & yep... we are still homeschooling!

Blessings,
