So many emotions... exhausting! But I think I am doing pretty well. Been trying to stay positive and busy with the details. Part of me is ready to just get the hell out of dodge, and the other part of me is willing to hang on for a little while longer. I am excited about leaving... but I am also worried that my expectations will differ from what will be reality. I guess every big move is like that. I give myself a little talk everyday with what I know I will struggle with and what I know will be difficult. And then I tell myself we will be ok and list the reasons we decided to go. I think it keeps a good balance... in my head anyway. Life is funny.
Sometimes I get so caught up in my daily drama and tasks and 'to-do' lists that I forget to take the time to talk to my kids, spend quality time with my husband, take care of the mental well-being of my family. My wish for myself is that I can learn to start doing that. Somehow, just remember to take time out every day to communicate and make sure that my family knows how much I do love them and care about them and that I hear them. That I really hear them.
