So, here we are. I am so glad to have all 4 of us under one roof again. Ready to figure out our new normal. Our new home is slowly starting to feel like "home". I didn't think I could like a house after our house in TN. I was spoiled with it. I must say though that houses in TN are just grander and less expensive for whatever reason. I think God knew just what I needed to make this transition easier. I am finding that even with less square footage I actually have more storage space in many places. We are making it work. I am liking not having to walk upstairs. It helps because even if there are things I may not like it's okay because we are renting and figuring this new life out.
So, I have spent the last few days surrounded by boxes and packing paper and organizing. I love to organize. I love for things to be in there place. Something I forget about me with kids in the picture because I cannot seem to always be that way with them around. I do try but I have let some of it go. So since I had time to unpack it felt good these 3 days to put something somewhere and it stayed there.....that ended quickly when the boys walked in.
The boys really just jumped right in. They see all there things and the first night went well. They actually went to bed easily in the same room!! (knock on wood)
The truth of the matter is, now I am ready to go "home"! I have all of our things here and I have hidden in the house while Jason worked and busied myself. I now know I have to step out. I have to start meeting people and be the new person again. The boys are here now and I have to for them. We cannot just stay here all day every day. So, here I go again on many "first dates" and will probably have some short stints and "breakups" along the way. Surely some will stick though.... someones kid will hit my kid at the park and we will start talking and they will welcome me into their group and actually follow up and turn out to be wonderful friends. Or I will meet someone and they will realize I am new and invite me to the zoo and then to a Thirty-One party and then we will become great friends...... if only it could be that easy. One can hope.
Tomorrow we will see. My first day here with the boys. I am glad it is Friday and Jason will be home over the weekend:)

I laughed about the part about someone's kid hitting your kid--I love that you think that's an opportunity to make a friend (I know a few mom's who would think that'd be an opportunity to yell at another mom!!).
I'm praying for y'all--hope it's an easy transition and it feels like home soon!
