Is it home time YET?

The headaches continue and we are more than ready to go home for a bit. I haven't had a shower since Monday and that makes me feel ewie and to top it off I haven't been feeling the best lately, been having a lot of headaches and you have no idea how bad it feels to even lay down when the truck is in motion and it is jostling you all about and there is no relief from noises and constant "honey can you do this for me?". Today we spent a lot of time looking for an address that was incorrect on our qualcomm and so we dive into the internet and it can't even find the place as if it didn't exsist. We even call the number for the place the directions on the recording are very vague. We eventually find the place but I can tell you it is quite irritating when I get the directions and they aren't followed by someone.. ahem.... anyway we are here and now we are waiting for our trailer to get loaded and of course time is running out on the clock and I am getting hungry and there isn't much left in our "pantry", we need to do more shopping but haven't had the opportunity and even if we did I don't know how much energy I can muster to do it. Sigh.

The only interesting thing that has happened was while we were waiting for our paperwork at a drop off site a yellow jacket decided to come into the cab with us. We are trying our best to shoo him out the window and as soon as we have sucess he comes back in again. I opened the door at one point and he went out but came back in the window as I wasn't able to get it back up again fast enough, he was faster. This went on for quite some time and by the time we finally got him out and the windows closed we are just laughing away on how tenatious the little bugger was. Then we notice the guard coming to the truck with the paperwork and we wondered if it was going to come back in again but I guess he went on to pester someone else for a bit.

 
Here is a video that explains how all truck drivers feel at one time or another. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We are hoping to come home for the weekend but as we found out our dispatcher isn't going to be in the office on Friday and we will be dealing with someone else which we never have dealt with before so this could be interesting. Josh is driving himself nuts with things that he thinks that needs to be done straight away that can wait but he is not having the patience to do so. We are going to be having a huge garage sale and try to get rid of a lot "pretty" items that we have that really have no use and there for no longer wanted as we are going to try and pack up what items we want to keep and move out of the house after the boys leave. I am ready for the change too but first things first is moving the boys out of the house. Ethan doesn't know for sure when he will be leaving for basic training but they are talking around December. Alex will be moving in a trailer with a family friend and he is working on that now.
