Hamster Wheel

Does your life ever feel like a crazy, constant run on an incredibly annoying hamster wheel? That's the current state of my life right now. I am trying to get some perspective though so I will write this post from a positive outlook and look forward to some of the things coming up for us.
Football starts next week... there's just something about having a football game on that makes our house feel so much more like home.
We are taking one last beach trip this year and I cannot wait to sit in my blue chair with my feet in the sand. I'm hoping for beautiful weather and the longest two days of the year!
I'm ready to cook a big pot of soup and have my kitchen window open at the same time so a nice cool fall breeze can blow by me.
I'm ready to walk outside on brown crunchy leaves.
And settle down a little... off my hamster wheel.

Long Time Gone

The blog post title sums it up... it's been a long time since I logged on to post on the blog. I almost forgot how. Summer 2015 you sure did bring it in full force!! I'll remember you always. My new job is going well and I think I'm learning the ropes. Adjusting to a full time work schedule has been a challenge but we've managed. Thanks to my kids who pulled a lot of my weight at home this summer. And thanks to my sweet husband who often had to step in and do a lot of my chores that he usually doesn't have to do. We had less than stellar meals and lots of leftovers. They were all patient with me and it's made the change easier.
Speaking of change... you never know when it's coming, what it's bringing, or how hard it will be to deal with. We've been taught this summer all about change personally and in our family. And we've learned to band together and march on.....

~the long way...
