Well, it looks like we aren’t going to be moving anytime soon. Bobby was not the first pick, he was second, so unless the #1 person declines the job, this is not it. There is a good chance that Bobby knows who the #1 person is, and if #1 did get the job, it would open up a job here in Colorado in the company he interviewed for. Staying here in Colorado would be good for us, but it means going through the waiting process again and there is still no guarantee! Bobby has already given #1’s boss his resume, and #1 is rallying for him, but there is no guarantee. This is so frustrating!

House… obviously not moving means not selling, so we are staying put.

I’m feeling pretty bummed out, but I am not heartbroken. Bobby said they kept encouraging him to keep trying because they want him to be part of the team.

We were close, but I guess it just was not meant to be. Lets hope the next one is it!

Jr. weatherman is back. He took a long break, about 1 year to focus more on geography, reading the encyclopedia, collecting almanacs, normal Christopher-isms, but weather has not ruled the home in a while.

At his peak, he would turn the TV from cartoons to The Weather Channel. The above picture is Halloween, 2004; Christopher’s 7th birthday, Chris is dressed as… a weatherman! The school library had run out of weather books that he had not read, and for Christmas he wanted a thermometer/barometer. We did have to record Storm Stories for him on TLC a couple months back, but I have to admit, I thought they were cool too.

….But, tonight at 9:30 Chris comes running downstairs claiming we MUST change the TV to TWC, or if he can watch my TV because he HAS to watch his most favorite show ever, Storm Stories. So, next to me sits a zombie child, who is glued to the TV watching about a Tornado… gasping once in a while when they say things like “super cell” and inserting little facts about tornados here and there.

“Whoa!! That is an F6!!!”

Welcome back Jr. Weatherman… we missed you!

I think my life lesson is patience. It seems like everywhere I go, or everything I do tests said patience. For starters, I have three sons and a husband who is sometimes as difficult as all three… THAT is a test, and I feel I am doing quite well passing that test. I would give myself a B+ or even an A- in that area. TIME is the lesson I am failing at. My weakness is to just sit back and stay busy while time passes.

Boy, don’t I know that one! I am such a planner that the unknown just drives me crazy!

So, no news about the interview yet.

Now news about unnamed MIA person.

No news from the realtor yet.

BUT, I may have found someone to take my chinchillas.
