OH MY GOD!!! It was 83 degrees outside today.....it ws 83 degrees in HERE today! HOLY HECK!!! If you think living in a trailer home is hot, try an RV with a stainless steel roof!!!!! Next weekend we will have to invest in $100 to put the white sealant up there to reflect the heat.
On a good note, I think the sauna effect will help me lose weight....but who can live with my cranky self. I am not proud of the fact that I am a whiner but when i am hot I can be such a witch. I dont perspire like most people so my body doesnt cool itself naturally. You can only drink so much water and if you dont sweat it.....you stay in the rest room!
I think hubby and I really need to rethink moving to a warmer climate. Yup, I think we need to stay here year round and move to the south for the WINTER only.

Change in Plans!
We have been talking about moving to the Oregon Coast this summer. The coast, beach and warmer weather made me excited to go. Then I found out that no matter how far South on the OR coast, the water is always pretty cold. I CAN NOT live near a beach that is too cold to swim in, its just...wrong in so many ways. Being from Louisiana, it was Holly Beach in Cameron, that provided coastal water for me all my life, even if it was muddy, or oily, it was WARM! You could swim at night and relax in the warm water. SO......
Hubby and got to talking about how sick we are of the cold, I expressed my reservations about Oregon and how with our parents aging and living in Louisiana, we need to be closer NOT Farther from them. So after a while we decided our new plan it to be in Gulf Shores Alabama by next summer. I am so excited.
We will be 1 hr from his sister and we will be 3 hrs from our parents and his baby sister!!!!!!!!!!!! We will have fresh redfish, crab, shrimp and crawfish readily available.
Living in an RV will be great in the South because we can unplug and go inland when the hurricanes come our way. Our reason for waiting till next summer is so we can illiminate extra bills and be able to sell this RV before going. We will take the money we get from it and use that to buy another one when we get there. We wont have to tow this one 2600 miles!
We want to be able to work part time when we move there so we can do what makes us happy the rest of the time!

So, I was a cynical in my last post....
As I look back I see that my last post was very cynical....the world was out to get me..yada yada.
Amazingly, I don't even feel like the same person who wrote that. I have been to the doctor, got on Antidepressants and find myself smiling more, giggling more and pretty darn happy. Not bad considering that for the past 3 wks, we have been 4 adults and a 3 yr old in the 40 ft RV. The kids moved back here because daughter-in-law got a job close by. We had 29 degree temps at night and had them move in here till they could get the power/heat working in their RV. No popcicle kids and baby for us!
Things have gone pretty smooth, everyone doing their share and taking turns 'training' the munchkin. She is in big girl panties now and we are all so very happy about that!
Poor hubby is having a rough go of it at work. They want solutions to the IT problems but can't give him access to the stuff he needs. They lost the whole IT dept a few months ago and no documentation was left for the next programmer. NO ONE knows where to find the info he needs so its like looking for a little needle in a huge haystack. He is working as a contract programmer and has been working with the stress and fear that they will cancel the contract because he can't do what they want him to. NOT because he doesn't want to...NOT that he can't do the work.... but because THEY can't give him security access to the area he needs and THEY can't get the program he needs to work around it. That is what happens when 1/2 of a company is in WI and the other 1/2 is in ID and WI will not provide what ID needs.
I have seen him eager to go to work, get up and go to work and now its dreading to go to work. This morning we had a long heart to heart. He opened up some and I got him to open up more by not losing my mind when he said he was afraid they would let him go. He is waiting for the shoe to drop so to speak. Honestly, I would rather have them let him go, rather than raising his blood pressure the way it is, give him a stroke or kill him! He worries about making the bills and paying for the RV and lot rent. I could care less about all that, as long as he is happy. He can get a job making less money and it will be tight but we can make it. I told him after the year we just had, we can make it thru anything.
After the talk he said he felt better, he looked like he felt better and I pray that our talked helped him to relax a little more. He would never let me work with that much pressure and he shouldn't either. He is my love, my best friend and my life.....we will always make it no matter what!
