It seems like forever since I've written a blog, and it also seems like there has been a whirlwind of activity in my at-home-dad life. I'm not sure exactly where time goes, but it has been going fast. Shelby and I have been running store visits, which are nice drives spotted with trips to Family Dollars, Home Depots, WalMarts, and Ace stores. There are the never ending chores of dishes, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, which are...well, never ending. But nothing extraordinarily time consuming. We watched our son Drake perform in the Greenmont fourth grade play last Thursday, and hosted two school Halloween parties at school yesterday. Which, as a side note - what the heck was I thinking there? I'm an at home dad and want to help with school things, but being a homeroom parent for two classes means trying to be two places at once for EVERY school party day. Thanks to Shelby and Kait for helping! So, anyways, it has been busy-er, but feels like a can't-catch-your-breath kind of busy. This is good though, as it helps time by and keeps our minds busy.
Shelby's back is still aching and we're waiting on physical therapy. The MRI is a big expense for us so we're waiting on that one. Life is quiet at the apartment as people move out, at least their persons. Still waiting for people to move out their "stuff" so I can get in there and cleanup. Cora's birthday at Delco Park was awesome, and before that, Kings Island and the Haunted Hayride at Young's Dairy was so much fun for everyone! Did I already write about the Renaissance Festival? Ok - I guess we have been busy...we pretty much rock right now :)
Our hopes are still to get out of here, and we continue to receive encouragement that we will achieve that goal. Just a matter of time...which makes moving the coats and Halloween supplies out of Grandma's attic and into our house a little heart breaking, but acceptable as we keep our eyes focused on our future.
Life is a journey. I believe that you can guide your destiny, but that we are meant to exist at certain places throughout your life. This is our journey, beginning in the middle...another chapter leading to the next. As sure as I think I know where we're going, life turns with the wind and leads us to a different place. This is simply about me and my family, the road we travel and the thoughts that we thing along the way.
Honey - I appreciate everything you do around here and for our family. I'm glad that we can all work as a team for the kids parties and that Kait can help too.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put into writing everything we have been doing lately it's hard to believe. SO busy is right.
