Does anyone else have trouble keeping track of where the days go?
I do!
I am finding that I have so many things going on at once that I forget to eat
or
ending up eating too much ....
My babies keep my going till late at night and then I am so tired that I go straight to sleep...
Hubby will be busy the next few days with my honey-do list ...
I kept Christmas dinner simple, since it is just us.
Not having family that I am close with only gets to me this time of year...
I have been having a hard way lately,
since all the babe's have been sick for the better part of 12 weeks...

It gets a bit tiring not having a support system but I know there are many women out there with no husbands who have it way more difficult than I.
So I am thankful this year for my Hubby.
I have been trying to convince the hubby that we need to move again...
Although we JUST got here last year.
I am thinking we probably should have taken longer to look.

Do you ever feel that way about some things?
It has been eating at me everyday.
I find it hard to want to do anything semi-permanent in our new digs.

Don't get me wrong our house is pretty and brand new..we picked our colors from the builder and picked almost every detail but it doesn't feel like home. We have moved so many times that its hard to put down roots.
I have been contemplating the word itself.
HOME
How should one define home?
I guess I have always attributed having a good network of friends part of my definition of home. Maybe that's why it is hard to feel at home when not only am I lonely but my children are as well.
We convinced ourselves that moving into a neighborhood was a great decision, even though we said we would not do it again.
I guess the train of thought was "at least the kids will have play mates."
Since the kids have not made any close friends that they see regularly I have regretted the decision.

I should be content.
I have my children and my spouse has a good and stable job.
I find myself coveting...
Coveting the unknown is dangerous.

I keep saying "If Only"
Then I realize it probably doesn't make my hubby feel so good to hear me say it.
Hubby was so wonderful and told me to get out this weekend just to get away since he knows theses weeks coming up will get crazy...
I found time to destroy err ..play in my craft room.
It was good to just decompress and enjoy the weekend.
I can not wait till my craft room is ready for guest...
Have a lovely Sunday

I'm sharing a big hug with you!
I hope some creative time will get you feeling better!
I understand where you are coming from, Tabitha. I have often felt like that and at times I still do. Your home is where your heart is, truly, with your husband and your children.
This time of the year is always difficult for me, a time when it hits home that I have no children, Christmas dinner was my hubby, dad and stepmom, and I have a large family of nieces and nephews and sisters . .
BUT I am blessed and thankful and kick myself in the butt when I start feeling blue :)
We have been in this house for 11 years and last year was the first year (or maybe the year before) that I finally made some friends!!!! Working at home (and you being a stay at home mom) it is not easy to make friends. I started going to the fleas around the area and the shops in town and chatting with people and now I can call some of them friends!
Embrace the new year and all the blessings it will bring!!!

Hey Tabitha,
Cheer up hon, don't let the small things get you down it will get better....
No the feeling about not having family our families are on two sides of the world, we were blessed to have our daughter come up for Christmas so it was so great to have our family unit together this year....
I find it hard to stay in one place, I'm using to moving every couple of years with the army and this time we got a back to back posting and I hate that we're still here, I love the moving part of it lol...
You need to make time for you, go away for a weekend and shop and craft.....
Sending you a big hug from across the ocean....

Hey you,
it's okay, you don't like the house, that you feel you can't settle in.
I would love to say, do this, do that, and it will be okay. But we all know it has to begin with us.
trying to be perfect is not perfect.
there is a contentment inside us all, we just have to find it.
love you babes.
Hi Tabitha! I know exactly how you feel. I fight with certain feelings every, single day. Sending hugs your way!
