I left Hobbs, NM on August 9th, got here on the 11th (yeah, that sounds right).  I think we are finally kind of settled (we may not be for much longer, but that’s a whole other post). We’re enjoying it here. Discovering new things, eating at new places, meeting new people, running the dogs in the park. So why am I already headed back to Hobbs? 

 Yes, you read that right. I’m headed back to Hobbs, America this Thursday. It’s not homesickness though.  Nosiree Bob.  While it will be nice to see to how much Hobbs has changed in the two weeks I have been gone and to see the people I haven’t seen in 14+ days, I am flying back to get my mom.

My mom is by no means a woman who is incapable of taking care of herself. Perish the thought. She’s as sharp as a tack and tough as old boots (ignore the word old) and she can take care of herself just fine, thank you very much.  But, while she is a capable 30+ some years woman, it’s still not advisable for her to make the close to 1600 mile journey on her own. 

So this Thursday I board a plane bound for Lubbock, TX to be picked up by mom.  Her stuff will be packed up on Friday and if all goes according to plan we will head out on Saturday which means if all goes well we’ll be home by Monday, Tuesday at the latest.  Just in time for the husband unit to go on his business trip to NY.

So it just goes to show you, you can’t get rid of me that easy. I’m already headed back! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!
