I'm back..

Well, I am back and I am overwhelmed. A lot can happen in 2 weeks and now I feel like I am playing this endless game of catch-up. And also trying to keep the kids occupied.
We are going for our intake interview on the 19th, and I can hardly remember what she told me to bring with me. I think I will need to call her again. So I can get working on that while I am trying to keep the house/kids running and unpack all of the stuff from vacation.
One thing I did have time for while I was gone was some thinking. I am very solid about the changes that need to take place in our home. There are lots of transitions a family goes through, and very few of them you have time to prepare for. (We lost my father-in-law to cancer in November, my mother-in-law moved in with us and we added on to the house) But this is one we do have time to prepare for, and prepare the kids for. So I am cutting back on my obligations/volunteer work. It is time I get my nest firm, along with my spirit,body and my house. I feel like I have just been putting out fires lately and I need to spend more time filling my tank so I have more to give my family. So now I am on edge knowing that I have to talk with a people to back out of some commitments I have made. And I just want to get it over with.
Well I wish I could spend more time writing about all the things we did while we were away, but I have to keep moving.
