Our new normal

Our lives have gone through ALOT of adjustments in the past 2 months, for the past 5 years my time has been my own. Road trips when we want, pajama days when we want, head to the park on a whim. People look at me like I have two heads when I tell them I have more freedom as a Mom than I did when I was working full time. Yes, I have them with me but it was up to me how we want to spend our time. Not anymore, we are now privy to the school calendar, school drop off, pick up madness, homework, making sure we get reading time in, Lacy's speech, chores AND our family time. Family time is hard to come by right now, we just haven't started school, Jason has a new job which is so much more time consuming than his previous one. Grateful? I'm unbelievably grateful he has this opportunity and he's enjoying what he's doing. The girls & I have adjusted to long days while Jason is working or traveling but I'm still trying to figure out how to fit everything in, make sure he stays connected to what is going on at school, at home when he can't be here. I make lists of things to talk about with him so I don't forget funny things or just day to day stuff. I have no doubt that we'll find our new normal...probably just in time for another new adventure.
