Goodbye San Antonio!

It's been just a little crazy the past couple of months.  Leland has been in Houston for almost two months now and I can't wait to be with him again!  This Saturday is the big day.  I now have a new found respect for any wife/mother that has a husband that either travels for business all the time or is on the military.  I think the only thing that has been keeping me sane has been being able to talk to Leland every night over the phone.  I really don't get how people can go for days. weeks, months or years without talking to each other.  Trying to take care of all the packing has been no small (or fun) task.  I have a mound of things that meed to get to Goodwill and still have way to many boxes for my liking.  I just cleared out the on-site storage unit at the apartment.  I usually get on to Leland about all his stuff, but after looking at what I have, I am the hoarder.  Granted, once I start teaching PE again, most of the stuff will go back to school, but I still have a ton of stuff from my single years that need to go away.  I guess I am a little more sentimental than I thought.  I have been a little more ruthless than usual and tons of stuff has gone to Goodwill already.  I really hope all this craziness ends soon.  I would really like a little normalcy in the year 2012. So far there has been nothing normal about this year.  I haven't even been able to sit down and write about my last day of school at SST.  It was a doozy of a day!  Hopefully I will get some time to write about all my experiences there.  There have been so many these  past few months that I just don't have enough time right now.  I also have to do my "End of the School Year What I Learned" list.  There is so much that I have to really sift through to get to what is truly important.

Tyson is taking this craziness in stride, the Tyson kind of stride.  During the month of May I didn't have any problems with him.  In fact, he was finally turning into a good dog.  No run-by bitings, no chewing on anything that he isn't suppose to chew, and finally calming down.  Since the beginning of the month, he has reverted back to his chewing and run-by bitings.  Every time I work with boxes he goes bonkers!  He runs around, starts jumping to bite at me, takes my tape and scissors and gets into boxes that have stuff in them that still need to be taped. Thankfully my dad will be coming into town today so I will have some back up and can get everything finished. 

That's the rundown in the Page household.  Only a few more days and I will officially be in Houston.  It's bittersweet, but I am finally handling it and ready to go.
