Homeless

It's not a great feeling, being homeless (and car-less for that matter).  But that's what we are for the time being. 


 No, this is not a concentration camp, it's Patch Barracks in the southwest of Germany.  It's where we hope to find quarters some day.  Sigh.  If they ever have an opening.  Sigh.


We've been here for a full fledged 48 hours.  We are wide awake at night, and dead tired during the day.  Except for Em, who seems to have fallen in step with the time change without batting an eye.  She's slept every night through.  C, on the other hand, is up for hours in the night and I could strangle her (not really) for refusing to take the melatonin that is supposed to drug her to sleep.  I mean, I got the gummies for crying out loud and she LOVES gummies, but she knows how desperately I want her to take it and she is flat out refusing.  Grrrr.

If you couldn't tell from the pic, it is cold and snowy and wintery and we haven't seen much of anything beyond our hotel room and the short bus ride to Patch Barracks.  


I know I'm way behind in my blogging.  We spent the past month visiting family in Utah and Kansas.  Many good pictures that accompany many good memories will be posted some time soon. 

But here is just one photo from our travels.  Emily saying good-bye to her pal/cousin Ricky the day before we left.  So sweet.




It's exciting to be in a new place, but down right frustrating too... such a high learning curve. I'm glad I experienced Poland because I know the beginning is hard, but it will get better!  We are on the hunt for a house and hopefully will find something soon.  More to come...
