Changes & Progress...

This little blog is my outlet. As a result, I often write my crazy thoughts when they are at the peak of craziness. When I am at my whits end. When life seems as though it is in a hurricane. Needless to say, there are many more blue sky days than dark ones. And that, my friends, is what matters most. Just to assure you that I am not living in a life of chaos or disaster or regrets, I thought I'd update you. This month has been one of transformations and changes. Slowly but surely we are getting there. Sometimes the things you've been searching for come when you stop searching and just live. That's where we are now. Just living. Here's the point by point dealio: 1. I searched for an on call babysitter much of last year that could come watch my kiddos for an hour or so each day so I could workout, run errands, etc. No luck.

I filled his drawers with all the clothes I've been collecting...

(not that i am keeping track--oh yes i am!) i have a daily routine of waking up, haunting calling the passport specialist every morning, and doing a wrap up call to him at the end of the day (interestingly, he doesn't answer his phone in the afternoon anymore--do you think it is because of me?) anyway, i called this morning. he said, "your passports will be in your hands today!" i quoted him because his words were just that memorable. i mean really, could this long, monotonous journey actually end this week? yippee!! now we will go to the apartment, stalk the fed ex guy and mosey over to the base to line up our travel and car shipping details. i am super excited. i cannot wait to get this in motion. it feels like i have simply been treading water fo...
