The lovely Kagney Linn Karter.... Now you know... Need to get this girl on a DeauxBrahs board!
The incredibly adorable Alanah Rae unpacking
Well I figured I'd start with a vision of hotness since I'm heading out to Arizona, which is the first leg of a three day roadie moving my mom to Lake Charles, LA so she can start her new job! All I can say is yay!
It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks since we flew out to Lake C so my mom could interview at the L'Augberg Du Lac Casino. The fact that she interviewed and got the job on the same day is so amazing! Maybe whirlwind isn't the best description for it perhaps it's been a hurricane couple of weeks... Nah that's not good either... Oh well I'll figure out a good metaphor before I end this... LOL
It's been insane trying to get my mom's apartment and school stuff squared away. Thankfully my usually dependent mom decided to do most of this stuff on her own. More sleep for me!
But I will have to say that I am incredibly proud of my mom. People fail to realize that my mom has lived in the town of Reno, NV for over 40 years! In a family that seems to never follow through on their intentions to move away my mom got a job and grew a pair and is leaving this hellhole that I also call Reno... Of course it helps when you get a job, but she was even talking about not taking the job if she didn't like the town... Lo and behold she LOVED the lil' town of Lake Charles, Louisiana! (I only know this due to the fact that she won't shut up about it now... lol) But it was funny going through the process with her from thinking of all the negatives to the positives... Thank God there were more positives than negatives!
Of course that means Grandma and Grandpa gotta follow so once I'm done getting the grandparent's business squared away and once mom is settled and cool I'll be escorting grandma and grandpa on a jet plane to Houston again to make the journey to Lake Charles where they'll settle with my mom...
I'm hopefully gonna get a job there too so I can settle in as well (Mom reserved a 3 bedroom apartment... So I guess I better get my butt over there to occupy a room... lol)
For now though gonna chill in the RNO (unfortunately...) and see if I can find some gainful employment here...
I guess I'm excited and sooo happy for my mom but I'm also sad that she won't be here... I wonder if that's how she felt when her oldest baby left the nest for Arizona 10 years ago... (probably not, I'm sure she wanted my ass outta the house by that point... we were working each other's last good nerve... lol!). Now the 3 day roadie? That's a WHOLE different story... I hate driving long distances so this is gonna blow BIG TIME! LOL
Anyway, thanks for reading about my tsunami last couple of weeks... Ahh crap that don't work either... Ok, guess we'll just call it whirlwind... Jeez soooo cliche!!!
