There has been a lot going on in this family the past few weeks, and I wasn't feeling up to blogging during all of it. Although I'm sure getting it out would certainly make me feel better, I'd prefer not to share details. Suffice it so say, there has been a lot of stress, and I just can't wait until everything is settled and we can resume a new normal. Our kids are still little enough to adapt and not be affected by all that has been going on, and I'm beyond grateful for this. I feel like I haven't even really had a chance to just breathe, and it's been tough.
Patrick starts his new job tomorrow, and he couldn't be happier. I'm happy too, but knowing there is a lot we're going to have to adjust to is somewhat disconcerting. I'm not used to doing everything by myself anymore, so I'm sure our home is going to look like a tornado hit for a while, and I'm sure I'll lose my patience with the kids a bit. I'll also have to get used to waking up early again.... Grrr.... I've been suffering from insomnia for quite a while (and this no sleep thing has just gotten worse over during the last few weeks), so Patrick lets me sleep in. Oh well, we'll just figure it out!
I'm grateful to have such an amazing support system consisting of my husband, my brother and sister-in-law, my uncle and aunt, and my grandmother. These people have been invaluable to me during the past few weeks, and it's comforting to know that despite everything going on and the relationships that have imploded, I have them to lean on.
