Home is where my stuff is

It'll be two weeks I've been in Sudbury soon, living out of my luggage at my Mom's place, and I'm already going nuts. I love my Mom dearly, really I do. But I'm too much of an independent person who likes things her way to enjoy this setup for long. It's not that I don't love my Mom. It's more that I miss sleeping in my own bed, eating my own food, watching my own TV and playing on my own computer. I know where the comfy spots are on my couch, and I much prefer the look of my red micro suede living room furniture to my Mom's semi-formal dusty rose colored things. Heck, I couldn't stand living at home after college... Love my family, love my space.

Eh, it's for a good cause. I got my job, Gunther's transfer is looking more promising by the day, G Jr is loving the attention he's getting from the family he didn't get to see very often, and I'm sure GIII would too if he knew what was going on. All that needs to be done is get out of my Mom's place and into our own house, and we're set. Shouldn't be too hard.

And don't get me started on the lack of transportation... I don't think I'd be too horribly bored if I could get out of the house while my Mom was at work. My car is still in Edmonton right now, but a good friend of ours is going to be flying out and driving it back for us early next month, so I won't be without wheels for long. But unless I want to take a rambunctious 3 year old and a growing like a weed infant on city transit, I'm stuck here until my Mom's off work. Well, I could pick her up and drop her off, but I really don't feel like packing the kids in the car at 5:30 in the morning. G Jr would wake up and there would go my sleeping when we got back idea.

I know... These are really minor things to gripe about in the grand scheme of things... But you get used to things being a certain way and it's hard to change. As is, I'm slowly getting used to the fastest speed limit in town being 30 less than what I'm used to travelling at, the lack of malls to wander on crappy days, and the fact that all my scrapbook supplies will have to be mail ordered. The rest is taking a while.

Like there was any doubts...

Well, we're in Sudbury. We being the whole family, minus Gunther. I hope the house sells quickly. The sooner it sells, the sooner Gunther can head this way. And phase 1 has already been executed and is successful.

I got the call a few hours ago. I got the job for Technical Trainer, making more that I was for the other company I was working as a trainer for. (No complaints there!) Like I said before, I was confident that I was the best candidate they could find, but it's still nice to know I beat out anyone else who tried. Bout fucking time a good job pans out for me in this city. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come. Perhaps Gunther's transfer turns out... (the company got bought, so there's still hope.)

G Jr's at his Grandpa's place having a "sleep over". So I'm down one rugrat tonight, and GIII is contently sleeping on me... And now I know we'll be ok here. I've got work, Gunther can get work, and we'll be able to start again. Nice to have things work out.

OMGWTFBBQ

Point and click typing is a royal pain in the ass, which is why I haven't updated in a while. And I'm going to be sorry I haven't after this one. So much has gone on in the past few weeks, it's scary.

G Jr and GIII are still doing good, so no real worries there. GIII does have a slight newborn hernia that will need surgery soon, but aside from that he's doing exceptionally well. So fear not, the kids are alright. It's everything else that is questionable.

We've been slowly working on the move back home to Sudbury plan until the beginning of this month when it got forced into high gear for us. On October 2, the company Gunther and I work for went belly up nationwide.While Gunther is still working for them on a day by day basis so they can keep the contracts alive for whoever wants to buy them, I'm off the list, along with a load of other people. So there goes my health benefits. And who knows how long they'll need Gunther?

So, we needed to speed things up considerably. We'd rather be broke in Sudbury than bankrupt in Edmonton. And that's when we put the house on the market and I started looking for jobs in Sudbury.

As it stands right now, I've got a job interview for a technicial trainer position in Sudbury on Wednesday (I'd like to see them find someone more qualified than me in the area), and so me and the boys are getting on a plane tonight to head out east. Gunther's sticking around to move our stuff and sell the house.

So I'm going loopy, still have to pack, people coming by to see the house, GIII won't let me put him down and G Jr is doing everything in his power to make my head explode... And then I get to fly the red eye with two kids to Toronto, then spend 4 hours in a car with my father in law... I'm going to need copious amounts of booze when I get in.
