I'm such a lame blogger, I know! I have nothing to blog about. Nothing new on the homes. We're waiting for a counter offer or something on one of the houses. Joe's working in MT and we're staying with his parents for a while until we can get a house. Emma needs to starts school REALLY soon and yet we have no permanent home so what the heck do I do? Keep her out until we have the house go through or put her in school here for 1/2 a month and then yank her our just to put her into a totally different school. It's so hard to decide. She's nervous as it is, going to a new school but to have to put her into 2 new school within the same month? That just seems cruel... Ahhh, I just don't know what to do?
I can't get Livvy to go to her class at church. She FREAKS out if I try and leave. She's so mixed up she doesn't want to do anything. It all started when we packed up everything in OR and were living in our house with basically nothing and Joe was gone. Then we come here and it's just as bad. I'm sure she's just insecure about ALL the changes so for now I'm not pushing it since this isn't the permanent place we'll be. Lane, Eliza & Emma seem to be less affected by it all. Emma still has a little anxiety about the school thing but this morning she had a dream about school and she said it was the best dream EVER. That helped to relax her a little. Who knows.
I'm a little anxious just waiting for everything to fall into place. Even though I know I should have a little more faith. I know it'll all work out the way it's supposed to! I think it's just the WAITING that's killing me!
Anyway... That's about it. Pretty boring and no news YET! :)

That sucks!!! I hope SOMETHING-- anything happens in your favor soon. The waiting game sucks! I am so sorry.
And I am sorry about the church thing too. She'll get used to the chamge, just give her time. Poor thing!
This comment is from Rachel & Bridget as bridget can't comment.
We think you should just keep her out until you have a permanent home. Just go to Bi-mart and buy a home school book for like 6-12 bucks and do stuff from home for now. They are the McGill school brand so you should be safe. I doubt she will be too far behind if any.
I just would feel bad for her having to be the new girl twice or more. Anyway our 2 cents. Bridget say's hi. We are on the phone right now.
Keep us posted!
Consider yourself tagged. Just answer the questions from the tag I just answered. That will be nice and interesting.....
What happened with the last house? I am so sorry. This has to be pretty stinky!
So hard to be in limbo like that! I don't know what to tell you about school - if you knew it would only be a month, I'd say don't bother, but what if it takes longer, you'd hate to have her missing out. Maybe you should just let her go. As long as she has a good experience there, she probably won't mind going to another new one after that. Plus, she'll already know some girls from church (hopefully).
Bless your heart! So much going on...so few answers!
I hope you find a home soon so you can get settled and 'normal' again.
Hang in there. I can understand your delima about the school decision...that's a tough one! I'm sure it will all fall into place for you soon!
I know its hard. hey call me, We have play group with our old ward on Wednesday in a park in down town Puyallup, it would be fun to see you and the kids.
As far as the kids go - just take it at their pace and as slow as you have to. School is important, but it is not unusual for kids to come into a class a little late and nothing - nothing really happens in school for several weeks - it takes several weeks for the teacher to get everything really going. Maybe it won't hurt to keep her out until you know where would be the more permanent school. If she is okay going - then send her - if not - hold off. Maybe call a conference with the school and talk to a counselor and get their advise.
I hope it all works out soon - it sounds like it is very stressful on you. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Take care - Kellan
I say just keep her home with you until you know what you're doing. If it looks like it is taking longer you could even go in and get some independent study packets for her to do (for up to so long you can do that). I know how horrible that can be, we had to do that with Savannah when we first moved back to Utah. It wasn't fun. I'm so sorry for your state of limbo! If you need to talk feel free to email me! katealger125@earthlink.net. I so remember what you're going thru and I'm so sorry!!
Hang in there! I would be going crazy if I were you too. If it's not going to be too long, I would probably wait to put Emma is school.
Change is hard for all. Keep having faith :)
WOw so much is going on for you guys. Maybe you should have stayed here. :) I would say just keep her home a bit, it really can't hurt.
Best of luck with the school decision. I feel for you. I am sure it will all work out - maybe waiting wouldn't be so bad. Change can be difficult, but it can also be very good to. I wish you all the best.
I vote for just waiting to put her in school until you get there. Work with her at home if you have a lot of down time (hurry up & wait, don't you hate that?)
When does school start in MT? That might make a difference too, they may start earlier or later than where you are now.
I've seen you post on other blogs so I came to check out yours! Love love the header on your blog!
We moved last year from Colorado to Arizona and were in a similar situation. It was the end of the year and in Colorado they kids still had almost two months of school. In Arizona they only had about three weeks left of school. Since it was hard making the move anyhow we kept them out of school until the new year started and missing that bit of school didn't hurt.
Is there some homeschool stuff you could get to make sure they don't get behind?
Best of luck!
Sometimes boring is good. Try to just relax and take it easy. Most likely you will be going crazy painting, unpacking, and trying to get settled back into a routine before you know it!:)
That would be really hard! I think you should ask her and see how she feels about the whole thing. You might want to put her in school if you think it is going to be several weeks just so she's not having to catch up a lot. Hard choice.
sorry I don't visit as much as I did, just because this whole week I was traveling around the province. you're not boring at all...
oh, the unknown and just waiting has always been hard for me too.
I wonder if you can just start Emma at a school and just keep her there the whole year and if she needs to switch, just do it the following year. Well, good luck. Hopefully things will fall into place here real soon for you all.
