How did 2 months go by? Ummm....Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and here we are! Actually, we are adjusting to the new normal which is Dave gone Monday through Friday and back on the weekends. He started his new position with Ireland Bank in Preston on December 1st. He found a little room to rent that's been working pretty well and was real cheap. HOWEVER, we just found out today that he is losing his room, so we have 30 days to figure something else out. Great. Anybody want to buy our house?
It actually hasn't been too bad being the widow during the week. The kids and I have our school/preschool/piano/bedtime routine down pretty good and I'm amazed that they aren't screaming for their Dad more often. I have become a couch potato at night as I watch through 10 seasons of Friends and Netflix movies (thanks Kelly!) because after bedtime I'm wiped and I just want to vegetate. Then I usually fall asleep on the couch and move myself to bed when I'm too tired to think about going to bed in a dark house by myself. Pathetic, isn't it?
So I keep thinking to myself, "Heavenly Father, I wish I could see the end result in all this. Are we going to be apart for 1 month or 6 months? Will my kids get to finish out the school year here? Will we sell our house without losing a bunch of money? Will anyone even come LOOK at our house?" I'm sure if He just showed me the master plan, I'd be fine with it. Right? And then I remember to just say my prayers and thank Him for taking care of us and promising to trust that the best thing will happen for our family. And then I wonder if I deserve to have the best thing happen to our family, because I'm often a snarky, grumpy wife and mother.
And this is why I haven't posted. Because all that's happened is cold temperatures and snow and who wants to listen to me complain, right?
January is boring.

I just want to say ditto to all of your post - I want to see the big plan and I'm pathetic too - three kids are exhausting and by the time they finally are in bed I just crash and I even have my husband home during the week - well sort of. Anyways, January is almost over and hopefully the spring brings good things. Hang in there!
