Today has been an amazing day, well for the most part it has been. Woke up and got out the door, albeit late and quickly. Got the kids off to school, went to the doctor, then went to Wal-Mart, (none of this was the amazing part) and then went home to take a shower, before having to go back and get the kids.
The day went by quickly because it is Valentines Day and everyone and their mother wanted to buy something and the lines were LONG. Plus I thought I would fill a prescription while I grocery shopped. *No Insurance and No $4 prescriptions, didn't find out they would be over $300 bucks until after I waited for them, but that is a whole other story for a rainy day.*
During the two hours that I was home, I put away the groceries, slipped into the shower, unpacked more stuff and cleaned up a little. Then I started to cook dinner, figured it would simmer well in the crockpot, and I could finish the rest later. That is what made the day amazing, I looked around my house and realized something....this is mine. My little place is coming along slowly but surely, and everyday is just going to get better. I still need a few pieces of furniture to make it complete, but I would rather have an empty living room than to have one that is filled with too much furniture, many stresses, arguments and tensions to boot.
So nine days into actually living there, and I am happy as hell. Kids are happier than I have ever seen them, and they are adjusting very well. Other than the monsters that scare Peyton on a nightly basis, they are handling everything really good. With the lack of television, internet and video games, there are no distractions, and a lot of imagination and conversation. The kids come up with the craziest things to play and say. And honestly, I would not have it any other way.
I am happy and I would have it no other way! I will look back at all of this one day and laugh, and wonder to myself (as I do right now) "What the hell took so long?", and I will know the answer, just like I know it now.
I read chick a dee and i love ya! Congrats on the new step in your life.
