Today I went out to eat with Jadee. We had a pleasant lunch. It's nice to be able to get out and have some down time. My kids are restless. They are having LOTS of "just the two of them" time right now. They are getting anxious for the move and Chan-man admitted that he wants to move, but is still a little scared of the unknown.
He wasn't even 3 when we moved to KC so he doesn't remember the school, or living close to grandma and grandpa. Really he was so sick the first 3 years of his life, I'm glad he doesn't remember them but still the change is effecting him emotionally too. I know little boys cry, but cman is not really a crier and this past week we've had tears again. N and C are both wanting more "love me" time and hugs and "baby me" time. I wish I felt more up for the giving. It's sad to admit that it takes a lot of strength out of me to attempt to give them what they need right now and balance my life with what I need too. I am not sure I'm doing that great of a job. Once we get moved and I'm sure by the time they start school we'll all be better, right now all the variables up in the air and changes happening is causing us all to be --not our usual selves.
In a side note, we watched Bob Barker's last episode of "The Price Is Right" tonight when we got home and I explained the game to them. They felt the people were a little obsessed with Bob/the game. I concur. I think that's one of the main reasons I stopped watching it when I grew up...to many kisses for my taste! Weird.

There's nothing more scary than the unknown. I understand just wanting to have the move over with so you can get on with life.
We watched that episode of "The Price is Right" as well. I don't think Bob minded all the kisses.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Moving takes a lot out of you.
Moving is really hard. Nevermind trying to balance the emotions of the whole family while you do it. Quite the challenge. You're right in a few months this will all be behind you.
We never thought moving would affect Woogy so much. Moving is hard on kids, unless they are nibbles age. I wish I could give you some brilliant advice, but I don't think it exists. Embrace the challenge as best you can?
