Checking in

I haven't checked in for awhile because, frankly, I've been busy! We had a successful move and I have been unpacking ever since. I am also tossing around the idea of either writing a book or opening an online diaper store. Not quite sure which at this point. But I do have a point. We have moved.aqA It is wonderful. True, I have been busy with unpacking and getting settled, and perhaps that has been distracting, but it seems a great weight has been lifted. I am more focused on my young children. I am more focused on my husband. I am also more focused on my own self care. I find myself in a better position to be a better mother. Maybe even a better friend, wife and daughter. I find myself more eager to share my time with others. It is amazing. Even though this is a strange new place, I find myself more comfortable in my own skin than I have in a long long long time. I am me again. Perhaps it is just a junction I have come to coincidentally. Maybe this have happened if I decided to move or not, I don't know. But I do know that I am immensely enjoying myself. I am also enjoying the time I have to spend with my family. I don't feel overwhelmed and I am not looking forward to my "me" time so much. In fact, my "me" time doesn't really exist. There aren't any free days anymore. Grandma is not here to take the kids away. We are really enjoying each other!

Onward to junk. Wow. I like my house, as there is not much junk here. Why? I didn't pack any. Maybe that has something to do with why things are so much more relaxed. Sure, the clothes are stacked high in the living room becuase they don't have a home just yet, but I'm really not worried about it. There is still stuff that can be fling flang flunged, but I'll get there. Soon it will be back to purging, as it is an ongoing process.

Enjoy these last days of summer. I know I am, by making the kids play outside when they can. It won't be warm much longer, and days of green grass are limited.
