You see, there are changes happening all around me. Some are good. Some are not....good....but, not necessarily bad. They just.....are, which requires a full reset of my mind, my time, my habits, my mood.
We had road trips and family reunions.
We moved D-man into his college dorm room in early August.
A-girl and L-girl started a new school also in early August.
We now are only homeschooling 3 of our 6 kids. (Plus an occasional extra little cutie)
It is strange.
We have had changes in our schedule of watching extra little people.
All adjustments to our "normal".
Lots of the changes have been an emotional roller coaster for many of us. Life is hard. Teenage girls are hard. That is all.
All of these changes come at a time when I am trying to focus on myself a bit more. Trying to be okay spending a little money on me. (so far, I have gotten a new expensive bra, gotten my hair cut/highlighted, placed my first ever order at Zulily, and given myself permission to use the Plexus products that are making me feel fantastic - even though I was sort of annoyed that they worked!)
Basically trying to spend enough time and effort on things that make me happy and healthier.
So, for those of you that tune into this blog to see cute kids. Never fear, you will still see some of that, but not so much of my big kids. (It is hard to balance their desire for privacy and whether or not they feel like they look good enough in the picture) I suspect you will also be climbing inside of my head a bit more, as I work towards being okay focusing on me and what I want/need in this life, which means that I am sure there will be rambling posts where you take a trip through my psyche.
