School Days

Well we got the kids into school, and it wasn't too easy. Apparently Alaska has different immunization requirements than Idaho, so they have all had to get shots. Ayden and Autumn only had to get Hep A, but poor Austin had to get Hep A, MMR, and Tetanus. He had a tetanus shot when he got stitches, but it wasn't in his records. We have been teasing him that he has to get blood work done today.... he got the shots on two separate days.
The kids all did very well on their first day of school. Austin found a fellow Mountain Homie that he has gone to school with since second grade. She was very excited to see him and I guess they got here two weeks ago. They are also waiting for housing. They have requested a housing close to ours...which I guess is the housing that nobody really wants. I really don't care what the housing is like. It's not like its cruddy... it's just smaller. A house is just a structure.... a home is what you make it!!
We are in TLF (temporary housing facility) for now. It feels good to be in something somewhat like a home. It is like a four-plex two bedroom apt. I got to actually cook a meal last night for dinner... I made stroganoff. This is after we went to the commisary. That was an ordeal in itself! We share the commissary and Bx with the army base, and maybe I am just being sensitive right now... but the army people are extremely rude!!! I don't know where things are in the store, and I litter ally got pushed aside twice by people so they could get something. ARGH! But other than the people, they store is very nice. It is HUGE! The aisles are nice and wide, and the store is kept very clean. The prices are comparable to home except for the basics.....milk is more than gas!!$4.50 a gallon!!! I stood there and stared at the price and Austin just laughed at me! But we got some food for the next two weeks, which is nice because eating out is so expensive and it gets old quickly!
