I'm shedding a few tears this morning, and yes, that is due in no small part to exhaustion. This was not the best timed move ever, but it will work out in the long run. I'm trying so very hard to focus on all the positives of this move, and there truly are very many of them. But I don't like change, and my life has been amazingly blessed up to now...it's hard to imagine that it could get much better.
We were able to meet teachers last night for Catherine and Thomas. They are even more excited then they were before, and I'm trying very hard to follow their lead. At Catherine's school I felt a better level of comfort. I'm familiar with his school, Andrew is more familiar with the teachers (and they with him) and I even saw a few people I know myself. Everything though is so unfamiliar for Thomas, and he's the one I've always been able to be the most comfortable about which is making it worse for me. We've suspected for the last year that he has ADD, and because the teachers knew me here in town they were willing to work with me and try some things even without an official diagnosis. Now though, I know absolutely no one at that school, and they don't know me any differently from any other crazy parent (and trust me when I tell you, the majority of parents are crazy when it comes to their kids!) and I feel like I have to start all over again. As a true introvert at heart, this is not easy for me.
But as I also keep saying, this is not about me. This is about us as a family, and I have an absolutely amazing family. I am looking forward to sharing new adventures with them, and I am convinced this is a good move for our family!
