Thank you everyone for your concern. I'm still at home but I have been incredibly busy the last few days between work, dealing with USDA, and being a 'softball mom' as my DD had three games, three days in a row.
I'm looking more seriously into my housing options to see who's got the best deal in the area but I'm also willing to keep myself 'mobile' if I hear from USDA regarding the position in Waldron.
As for the fam - he's been on his best behavior after I found out my mom gave him quite a tongue lashing. He was bent all out of shape because he thought we had a softball game in Atkins on Thursday at 2:00pm.

This would have NEVER happened because they never would have scheduled a game that would have conflicted with the school hours. He's been quiet and we've not spoken to each other since the other night. It's been rather peaceful this way.
