Settling In

After a few days of the new routine, we are starting to get into a rhythm. I have to admit that I got soft in those husband unemployed days. Taking turns sleeping in, help getting Ryan off to school, working around each other's schedules...

Employed reality is a bit different. Learning I have to go to bed early to be able to get up at 6:30 to get Andy to work and Ryan to school. The joys of having one vehicle. But it's actually working out really well. The boys are adjusting to the time difference and learning to go to bed earlier.

Realizing as well that we let the boys have pop and treats a little too often during the move process. Ty is a sugar addict. He use to wake up asking for fruit snacks every morning. Now he asks for a litany of sugar products - marshmallows, candy, cookies, pop, etc. For the record, none of these items have ever been given to him for breakfast, but that doesn't stop him from asking EVERY morning.

The good news is that a high school friend of mine is in town on business this week and is coming over for dinner. I'm excited to see a friendly face, someone who actually knows my name. One of those little things that will be a nice change of pace after a week and a half in new territory. Seems like we've been here so much longer than that...
