This whole blogging thing has got me overwhelmed, but because my mother has asked me to write, I will oblige and make her happy.  To be honest, blogging in Wyoming is a little tricky.  Phone and Internet services is poor so I have to be creative to keep in touch.  Currently I'm at the Buffalo Public Library and my time remaining keeps blinking overhead.  20:53 left and after that I will have to hunt a librarian down to give me another pin or wait in line for another go!

You may be wondering why my title includes the word toilet.  My first entry should be full of smiley faces, LOL's, and cute little emoticons that ooze happiness, satisfaction, and peacefulness.  Although I would love for every entry to emote positivity; however brutal honesty works better for me and will always generate more chuckles in the long run.  So toilet water means that life here is tough.  The last two weeks, I've crawled into bed and cried silent tears while conjuring up plans and schemes to get Mike to take us home.  The girls have really struggled the last couple of weeks with homesickness and I have second guessed my decision several times. 

Finally, on Wednesday I woke up determined to adapt to our new lifestyle with a fervor and an energy that means being productive and plugging myself into the Buffalo social pipeline! (for the Dumb & Dumber lovers) Sure I've enjoyed the sightseeing and the endless beauty that surrounds me, but my mind was always back at home, sort of counting down the days until we get to return.  The librarian has come over to scold me for signing on a second time so I must go.  The girls will be done with VBS and we plan to stop at a local animal shelter to see about volunteering.  Today is a good day!
