The new life...

It's almost been a week with the new life. We're loving it. Breakfast in the morning together before the kids even are up. Then lunch all together and we say "see you in a couple of hours!" The evenings are flying by, instead of dragging by as I used to feel. Ian says he likes the new job. A little slower pace and he really likes the other guys. I can tell cause he comes home happy and even tells a story or two about his day. When he used to work with grouchy guys he came home grouchy and wouldn't ever talk about his day. He's done lots of different things already so he won't be getting bored.

But, it is a change and its still an adjustment. I feel like I've lost time in my day somehow. I thought would be able to be more organized, but so far I've found the opposite. I guess we will have to find a new groove. It's not just my show around here anymore. I might have to cook meat more often instead of lentils or beans. I might have to get used to putting shoes and jackets in the closet everytime I walk through the porch. Not that I want to paint a bad picture. But the reality is it's still a big adjustment. Ian's having to get used to trying to sleep through Lanelle's many night awakenings, which I hear she's up AGAIN!! AHH.

I can understand what you are going through and am looking forward to that sort of adjustment phase in my life as well. Once I get married of course in August next year... Tempus Fugit, so Carpe Diem as some latin teachers would say.

It is amazing what change can do to your routine. You'll find soon your grove. I am glad you are all enjoying some of the perks of these changes.
Love all of us.

You gotta make Ian clean up after himself.
