You really couldn’t have paid me to guess this

Guess what you ask? Guess that I am back in AZ. How did this happen? After spending 5 months here last winter/spring dh said he missed the kids and I so much that he wouldn’t offer AZ as an option again. Hmmm, I guess the 2 months we spent with him this summer was more then he could handle LOL.

Midway through the summer he made a comment about I might be able to come back to AZ. But I told him he needn’t worry cause I had decided not to go to AZ. BUT THEN….. a couple weeks later he offered the AZ option to me again! Do you think he was trying to get rid of me?

Actually we/he wasn’t sure where work would be and for how long. First we were going to Chattanooga, TN then that changed to Beaumont, TX. Maybe if we had more time to see how things would work out but it seems all the places we might have ended up were starting school in early August. There was just no time so off to AZ I went.

Once the decision was made to leave then the fun began (driving the 1600 mile trip). Dh headed off to TX while I headed west. My kids are monsters to begin with, but 3 days in a car with them was more then I could seriously tolerate. Add a 3 month old puppy to the mix and now we are having a blast. Do you know how many truck stops, rest areas and public restrooms are between Nashville and phoenix? Well, I don’t know the exact number but I think we stopped at every last one of them. Every stop also resulted in whining, crying and begging for candy, snacks, soda, toys and anything else they could think of.

I am really not sure how, but I did make it back here alive (and luckily so did the kids).  It has only taken me the last week to recuperate.
