Around Christmas I kept telling everyone I needed a change. A change of scenery, a change in adventure I didn't know. Well life has changed so much that it is as if we have gotten a new life. Is it better? I'll let you know when I have lived it for awhile. First we moved (yeah us), kids changed schools, mom quit tutoring, started upper level college courses (which is a BIG change), and Jay is working out of town. Jay's boss asked me how it was being married to a traveling salesmen, I think it is like being a single mom with a big supporter on the weekends. By Friday I need a break, by Sunday I dread Monday mornings. I take this as a good sign because Jay is still my best friend and I don't want him gone. I love every one's advice like,"you'll get more gone while he is gone" well that might be true if my kids left too. I figured out today that I could make some major changes in our home life and Jay would have no say. So here is my thoughts: Mac and Cheese multiple times a week, bedtime at 6pm (hey it might be good for them), chores have to be done before dad get home (yeah even with a week to accomplish this it wont happen), but most of all I have started a schedule. I'll let everyone know later how it all works.
The other big change in our life's is that the kids are just plain growing up! Makenzie came home complaining that someone did not like her (only if you know Kenzie would know how rare this is). I couldn't fix it for her anymore. Kaelee is just plain a young woman she can no longer be mistaken for a child (she is becoming one of my good friends. Gavin is really learning and not so lost, he has an attitude a mile wide and he thinks he is the man of the house, then my baby Cache is not a little boy no more, he can read most words, he gets bored of me and lets me know regularly. Oh how I miss when he thought I knew more than him.
Our "new" life is good it is different, and there are days I look around and think did we move to another state, but it is an adventure and we will make it through these changes and eventually beg for more!
