I thought this year it wouldn't bother me...I was wrong. To be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed having everyone home and so much down time and family time last week. At the same time, this is going to be the fourth coldest February on record, so I'm beginning to understand why I'm just not thrilled. I feel "pent up" and restless. Yesterday was a particularly rough day as honestly, I just spent the day crying and fighting tears. I was missing our former town tremendously...mostly missing such dear people who make the town what it is. Andrew and I are both struggling in that regard, but we accept what it is and I feel it's a topic for another post.
I've not felt terribly great all week, but not awful either. Andrew had a particularly busy week with evening commitments every evening except Monday, and that's never particularly fun either. Every day though, I am truly amazed by the blessing of getting to share my life with him.
Our day tomorrow is just so hectic, and probably a little emotional. Catherine has a basketball tournament. Knowing that she is unlikely to make the team next year and that 8th graders don't play rec, it is likely to be her last basketball game. Thomas also has his annual scouting ceremony where he will be crossing over to boy scouts. He is joining Robert's troop and they are making it so that Thomas will actually cross over to Robert. It seems like we just did this with Robert and yet it was four years ago....where has the time gone? I know that I would probably cry, but because of timing I don't get to be there. I will be with Catherine at her game. Thomas's Godfather and fiance are taking our place, and I'm grateful they can be there for him.
I'm looking forward to a quiet Sunday, although more nasty weather is expected to arrive!
