I'm home for the weekend! That doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is the first week I "lived" in south Georgia. The rest of the family stayed behind at our house in Griffin. The three hour one way drive to work was getting exhausting so we had to do something, and that something was me renting a room in Camilla until we close on our new house in south Georgia.
My husband changed shifts to a weekend shift so the children were not unsupervised. I call every night to check in, but its been awhile since my husband and I have spent more than a night apart. Try like 11 years that we have gone with seeing each other everyday. The longest stint away might have been three days tops. Poor thing, he has the hard job here at home with the kids. I just miss them and worry, which come to think of it, its been awhile since I've had to worry that the house will still be standing upon my return!
I'm enjoying the new things I'm learning as an assistant principal, but its also been awhile since I've done my typical hobbies. Writing, running, baking and knitting are rarely happening. I'm busy from 7am to 5pm and then I'm tired and ready for a nap by 8. Is this what it feels like to get old, or is it just adjusting to all the changes?
We are hoping that by Labor Day we will all be settled in south Georgia and that it will be awhile before we're seperated again!
