Decisions & Changes.......

So most of you know that my husband is in the Marine Corps, and every 3years we get orders to move. Well they are coming up again somewhere around March 2011, and with that knowledge my mom decided to start looking for a job back home in Texas. With the snap of a finger she found one at Medical Center of Lewisville in their Level III NICU as an RN, she actually had her interview while we were home for Dreycin's bday. So my mom will be leaving Kentucky Dec 10th, and that is when I will become a full time stay at home mommy. I will still continue to work PRN(as needed) on the weekends, some nights at the psychiatric hospital. My mom has been my lifeline, my support, my saving grace for my mental health.....being a full time working mom with lupus has not been easy and for me with her leaving is very sad. Its hard being a military wife, you are far away from family, minimal support so for me the decision was easy to chose to stay home with my precious baby boy. With lupus, I fear that if I put Dreycin in daycare I feel like I am putting my own health at risk, then I risk multiple call-ins at work with a spouse that is unable to "call-in" as we in the civilian world are able to do. Derek just cant take time off, for example this week he will be gone monday-thursday in the field....we never know what can come up with Derek's work. I am excited, scared, wondering if I will go stir crazy, but at the same time ready for a little relaxation in my schedule, to not come home exhausted with a damn twitch in my eye from a CRAZY day at work. I also feel like we will be moving right around the corner, so why not take advantage of staying with my baby for a few months during his active stage. We'll stay busy with music classes, gymnastics, and swim classes. But to say the least im ready to move, and as we say in the military....I've got the three year itch...to move again. We'll be going to Fort Benning, GA about 1.5 southwest from Atlanta. It will be a new adventure, and this base will have alot more resources/multiple gyms/nicer facilities than where we are currently at. I am very ready to move!
