Seeing that it's been five months since my last post, I think this whole blogging thing may be too difficult for me to keep up with. Or it could be that fall semester was incredibly busy and I haven't come up for air until now. Yeah, I think that's it.
I am mentally still on Christmas break even though my kid has been back in school three weeks now. I am still checked out. Cancelled my PTA meeting, haven't worked, haven't volunteered expect to stuff Tuesday folders as previously obligated to do so. I really need to get in gear.
My checking out socially and otherwise has much to do with my resolutions though. I've been working on my house. Reorganizing, redecorating, painting, etc. My goal is to make all the changes to my home (that are within our budget) in order to be content with our current home and not be wishing to move.
Although I am not sure that plan is working. Lately instead of looking at houses around here that are bigger, I've found myself thinking of moving to Dallas. I could use a fresh start, a fun place with lots to do, magnet schools with arts programs that I could Braden into, and a different job that might be more satisfying for Derik. Plus then we are halfway between my family and Derik's family. Of course, it would crush my mother and Braden would not like moving away from his friends and my family.
I think I've just got the grass is always greener syndrome.
Anyhow, now that the world has slowed down and I have some time on my hands, I hope to blog more often. If nothing else, I can share recent books I've read. (7 or 8 novels since Christmas...Told you I have checked out of everything else!)
