coming attractions

It's about time to find out where our next move will take up.  Truthfully, I just want to stay in Spain.  But, I am pretty sure that isn't happening.  Then we have found out all the people that were going to help us out for our next assignment, have been sent back to the US.  Joel's current boss got promoted and doesn't seem to be concerned about Joel or his job.

So I am completely torn.  There really isn't anywhere I am dying to go.  I am pretty sure our little 9 months here has messed with me.  I haven't even figured things out here and I have to go do it again?  It's exhausting.  Makes me just want to back to Detroit.  But then I look at all the Facebook pictures of all the snow... I just want to stay in warm Spain.  The last few days here have been cool and rainy/overcast, and I have felt like crap.  Might have a little to do with a sick little girl sucking all my energy from me.  But I can imagine how horrible I will feel in the VERY cold and snowy weather.

I am trying really hard not to stress over it.  February is always a crap month for me anyways.  But I am looking forward to my Sister in law and Mother in law visiting next month and going to Fallas!  Then in April my parents arrive and we are going to do some traveling during Spring Break.  I'm sure the next few months will fly and then we will be in our new home by end of August.  Yikes.  I really don't want to move!  It's too much and we haven't even finished all our immigration stuff here!

So there is my rant for the day.

Winter in Spain??

I never imagined that we would have much use for our coats and other winter accessories.  I figured I would be at the most using my Fleece.  Well this week it must officially be winter.  It is COLD!  This morning, I thought I would just get in the car in the garage and not actually have to go outside.  So I just had a light weight cardigan and fleece pants on.  And then that dumb gate wouldn't open.  So I had to get out an mess with it.  And nothing would work.  So I tried to manual open it.  Nope.  So I drove up the sidewalk to the other gate.  Scratched the heck out of my car on the lemon tree.  Sigh.  But I finally got out.  When I called Joel to bitch about it, he had to do the same thing!  Well thanks for the warning!  I guess I could of walked but we had three minutes to get to school.  And we are close but not that close.  Heck, it would have taken me that long to go back in the house and get a coat.

So the high today is 40 F.  Yep.  Never thought I would see that in Valencia.  I'm so ready for the warm weather to return.  I don't want to put a coat on.  Because some day I will be back in Detroit crappy winters.
