What Do I Do.....
when I don't want to get back to the grind quite yet??? I change up the blog!!! Now that I'm done I should write a little post after an absence of more than a month. We have been trying to adjust to life in our new environment. We still haven't figured it out. It isn't getting any easier. If anything, we have been without Dave home every night for 5 months now. We still miss having him around. The boys and I miss Centerville terribly!!! Braxton I think is having the hardest time. He had great friends there and hasn't made many new ones here. We have gone back a couple times and I always cry on the highway when we get close cause I miss our home!!!
This winter has been long. Not too much snow, just freezing cold!!! The high everyday barely makes it higher than 10 if it even gets that warm. The nights are close to zero if not below. We don't get out much. We don't want to brave the cold if we don't have to. We have cabin fever in the worst way I'm affraid!!!
Christmas was fun. This year was small and simple. It was the first year our boys knew about "Santa" and suprisingly it was still fun for them. They were really worried that there wouldn't be much this year, but when it came down to Christmas morning, it didn't seem to matter and they were happy with what they got.
I have been staying way too busy with the boys, the laundry, the cleaning, the housework, and doing it alone. I have been watching Dave's nephew since shortly after we moved in. He is about nine months younger than Porter and it got to the point I decided I couldn't do it anymore. Everything was always a disaster and I felt bad for Braxton and Cole cause they were feeling left out with two babies in the house. I am only going to watch him now on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a few hours each day. Hopefully it will be easier for all of us!!!
Getting older and becoming more of an adult is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. We have made many mistakes along the way that have put us where we are today. If I could go back and change it all I would. I would have made wiser choices. I can't go back. I only have to make lemonade out of the lemons we grew, and hope that one day we can find the right recipe to make life sweet!!!
