It's monday!  I am giving myself no choice other than to have a fabulous day.  Here lately I am needing reminding that my days are a gift. With so much extra stress from the move and adjusting to a new house I am feeling overwhelmed and grumpy about everything. But not today:)

We are finding ourselves struggling to get adjusted at the new place.  We had to travel back home mid week last week for a meeting Josh had.  We got back to our new place yesterday afternoon and realized we have so much work to do here just so things work right!  We need to stay here for the next 10 weekends but unfortunately we have work to do in our old house still!  It's OK!

Just brewed me some Starbucks Blonde roast in my Keurig.  This should make me super woman!  It is the woman in the family who makes a house feel like home.  I need to push through the madness today and achieve the "home" feeling not for me but for my family.  They need that and there is no fairy that comes and hangs pictures and makes the house sparkle.  That is my job.  After I get a day full of teaching the kids in I am going to make this house our home.  Planning to get my fall decorations out.  That has got to do the trick!  I love fall!  My mother-in-law got me a nice housewarming gift; a fall arrangement to hang on my front door!  That is enough to inspire me to do the rest.  I am ignoring the fact that I have no idea where my fall decorations are:-D

When we were home this weekend we had so much to do that I didn't really get to visit with family and friends.  The reality is sinking in...I am only one person and I can't do it all!  I wanted to visit both of my grandparents and there was no time for it.  I wanted to have coffee with a friend but there was no time for it...these weekend trips home aren't going to be long enough I think.  Then last night when I was trying to get things around for the week it just all hit me and I couldn't take anymore.  I just sat in my kitchen and cried.  I miss home and all the help I always had there!  Grandma Deb is always so good at helping me with my house when I am in a rut and now she is too far away!  Maybe this will be good for me.  I need to learn to do things on my own more!  Well aware!  Weakness number 682.

One more dose of whining then I will get over it...I did not go to the local fair!  Every fiber of my being wanted to throw my hands in the air and regardless of how much it cost or how much time I didn't have for it,  I wanted to go to the fair all day just once.  Let the kids ride rides, eat cotton-candy and see the animals.  But I was trying to be responsible and said we didn't need to go and now that it's truly over until next year I am having a panic attack about missing my first county fair in my lifetime!  [Gasp]

Lastnight when I was having my melt down- way down in my heart I knew what the problem was.  We need God to help us see this journey through.  We haven't been to church in months.  I have not been praying like I should be about this move.  Please pray that we find a church soon and that we remember to trust God.

Haver a super power kind of day friends:)
