Whirlwind

So much has happened since the last post.

We have put our house on the market.  We have purchased a new house. We waited 78 days. We closed on the new house. We have had 7 open house Sundays to try to sell the old house.  We have had two karate tests.  Baseball season has started for both boys. Awana is almost over. I almost forgot to mention, Valentine's Day and Easter were celebrated too!

To say we have been busy is a slight understatement. with all the above going on, we have all our normal activities too! Karate classes, homeschooling, housework, piano lessons, moms' group, church, doctor appointments, and all that life gives us.

I have a confession to make:  I'm tired.  I would love to get away for a few days, just the four of us and ignore the rest of the world.  Disappear and just be us without interruption for a long weekend.  Take a few moments to touch base with each other and talk, play games, laugh. Just be a family.

But that would require laundry, packing, reservation hunting, planning, and cleaning the whole house so that if anyone would happen to come by to look at it, it's ready.  And that takes more energy than I have right now.  So I will just make another cup of hot tea and go swing on the front porch for ten minutes.  I have the energy for that.
