don't wanna be...all by myyyyyself!
*cough*
Excuse me.
So it's been a while since I've dropped an entry in here. A lot has been going on. My world is changing drastically.
If you've been following me from the beginning, you know I am a self-proclaimed single-married mom. That's going to change!
In 8 days, I'm moving in with my husband! Oh the insanity!
I'm uprooting the kids and moving to Ohio, where my husband has worked for the last two years. We've scrambled to find a house and to make it work in a very short period of time.
What triggered this move? Well, several things I suppose, but there is one defining thing. One of the boys' friends lost their dad, suddenly and unexpectedly. It threw me for a loop because I had lost my dad at about the same age and equally as sudden and unexpected. I decided at that moment, my kids needed their dad in their lives as much as humanly possible. The only solution for that is to move to where he is.
So, in about two months time I have managed to find a new (temporary until we decide on our dream home) place to live, pack a lot of the house, weed out things that needed to go, have a yard sale, and plan a get together so the kids can see their friends (and me too) before we make the final move. I'm still packing and figuring things out, but the end is nigh.
Soon, I will be the Mordant Matriarch of an intact family. I'm sure the biggest adjustment is going to be for the Patriarch of the family. I mean, he's been living the life of a bachelor (with out the constant partying and women) for a very long time. He has NO IDEA what our house is like on a daily basis. His job can have really weird hours and he can have really weird sleeping habits, but I'm sure we can deal with that.
I'm just wondering who's going to crack first? Me, because he's screwing up my schedule, or him, because, well, because family.
I will try to post some more once we are all in the house (I'm sure I will have tons of comic fodder forthcoming).
The more the merrier, right? RIGHT?!
