In little over a year, I have gone from energetic and optimistic to exhausted and forlorn. I have moved from hometown #2 and started a new job. All this while my husband has been in and out of the hospital, having procedure after procedure with still no idea (over 8 months later) what is wrong or how to fix it! My oldest child has moved into the dorm, my middle child started a new middle school, and my baby boy started school. It has been a huge year for us and unfortunately everything is not coming up roses!
To be honest, I had high hopes for this move. We were being transferred to a town that had more opportunities for our children and even ourselves. We would be closer to 1 of the 2 "big cities" in our state. We had found the perfect house in a great neighborhood, we had all hated our old house. I looked at this as an adventure and that is what I got-just not the type of adventure I had planned!!!
So, here I sit, a year after they announced where and when we would move and my life is nothing like I had envisioned. I am not the person I was a year a go. Heck, I am not the person I was 6 months ago for that fact! Wow, I sound like a real "Debbie Downer"!!
Now for my hopes (and fear) for this blog. My main hope is that it will help me deal with the hand I have been dealt. I also hope that it will be an outlet for my emotions and a maybe (if someone should actually read this blog) help others in a similar situation or at least connect with others. My fear is that no one will ever read this. Which is okay, because the main reason I am doing this is for me!
Hoping for better days ahead!!
