I figure if I stop writing, you're going to stop reading, and I certainly don't want that.
Home ownership is hard when you are trying to schedule a ton of work and don't know what you're doing. It is all consuming, like a newborn baby. When I do get to sleep, I dream about it.
But what I wanted to share was my favorite moment of the day.
We were all really tired, especially the little guy. After bath time I was holding him in his little brown bear towel when the babe came in. The little guy was crying so she decided to cheer him up with a little goofy dance. She started bouncing around in the buff with her fingers in the sides of her mouth and her tongue hanging out. Before I knew it we were all laughing and both my naked children were bopping their heads around with their tongues hanging out.
After the babe left us for her bath I got to play peek a boo with the little guy and it was awesome to just relax and laugh together. The last 4 days have been incredibly overwhelming for all of us and I'm so grateful we had such a blissful moment right before bed time. I'm going to have to remember it whenever I get overwhelmed and wonder how I'm supposed to move to a new house with a 3.5 year old and a 1.5 year old. In the end, we'll finally be in our own home, and I know it's going to be worth it.
I'm going to ask you to bear with me over the next month and a half until we can get ourselves into the new place. My writing may be a little less frequent, and possibly more centered on how to pack and move with kids, but I know things will settle into a "new normal" before ya know it.

As a Navy wife who has moved about 7 times in 10 yrs, sometimes with kids, sometimes without, sometimes pregnant, I can understand the stress!! Good luck and I hope it goes smoothly.
I will never stop reading! Even when you had that massive break, I was checking all the time and I almost leapt off my chair in excitement that you had returned. Wish I had done the same thing, it is such a wonderful record. Maybe I should start now!
Good luck with the move.
