Normal...Or Something Like It

Wow, it has almost been a full month since I have posted!

I keep thinking that, at some point, my life is going to return to normal.

When we were packing up our house, I thought that life would return to normal once we got everything all finished up.

During packing season, I thought life would return to normal when I got out of the packing house and back to my normal office and normal hours.

However, life never seemed to get back to normal. There always seemed to be some new, crazy thing going on this summer.

And then it finally hit me -- there is no normal for me anymore. I have taken everything that was normal and changed it. We have sold our house, decided to move to a new town, put our kids in a new school -- nothing is the same, so I have to learn a new normal. I'm just having a little bit of a hard time putting it into practice!

The kids started school yesterday, and we finally have gotten ourselves (mostly) settled in the new (temporary) house. We have also finally gotten phone, tv, and internet -- we were living without all of those things for a while, and I felt like I was cut off from civilization. Even my cell phone was (is) useless in our house in the middle of a field!

So, I hope I have at least a reader or two to stick with me through my absence -- hopefully I will be back to normal soon!
