It's been a heck of a half a year(ish). We were all set for Japan and it didn't go nowhere (thank you recent diagnoses!) so while we physically didn't have to move (we were lucky with the housing),  emotionally and mentally...and financially, we were all  topsy-turvy. It took me longer to manage life and yet, here we go again! This time, it will be public school for a Luna, and a Luna less house for me. The husband only changed offices when we stayed on, so he seems to have the easiest change up. I recognized a few more things (or a few things again) while life managing : Even when I feel "settled" even the smallest detail can spin me about...which means my perspective concept has more to grasp yet. As our (my) life grows up, the more we seem to need; (for some reason, I was thinking we'd stabilize after a good amount of time, though if we were solo, we might be by now) thus i need to work out how to handle another way to contribute (besides housekeeping, part...

December road trippin'

Image
Home again home again, Jiggity-jig! We spent Christmas/new years with family back in the south west (USA). It was cool and rainy for the most part but we did get some sunny warm days which was nice. The trip there we went along interstate 20 going west and I got to stop and quite a few pretty antique shops along the way (too many according to the rest of the peeps since they were bored and we had to hustle towards the end of our drive). Stopping in towns along the way and having a meal or bed is, I realize, a good starter to get the feel if the place. The goal was to stop before or right after the borders of the state (expect Texas- that was too big for just one stop) and we sort of did that...mostly. Ooh but the favorite of the trip down was the private owned ghost town of Shaskpeare! It is in New Mexico and while it is only by group tours you get to see New Mexico in all it's late 19th century through the 20 and 21 century glory! Mine town, saloon, mail/stage coach station galore...

Mom fail adventures

Image
So I feel like I mom fail a lot...like on a daily  (multiple times a day daily) a lot... I'd say it all part of the process of learning and growing and meshing one little person's growing up-ness with one (and/or 2) persons who have had a lot of their growing up-ness completed already. The mom fails today was waking g up early and thinking I could get a shower on my own...WRONG! My little solo exploring adventurer feels totally safe in our complex...which good and bad as that we live on/and or close to a busy road. Combined that with figuring out the door locks (and being tall enough to reach them)...and that her room is the first bedroom you come too when entering the house...we have a naked mother realizing it's too quiet after the initial noise of her child and calling for as rushed to the front door to see her 4 years old excitedly run in the house (in just a pull up) and jabber on about something or another (...sand toys maybe?). The result a wailing child after being ...
