This is good...
I'm feeling pretty content with life at the moment. The kids are adjusting to back to school and I hadn't realized how nice it is to only hear 2 demanding voices instead of 5 most of the day. Plus Kyle and Kelly have always been excellent together by themselves. The addition of either of the twins or sometimes Zach riles the Little 2 up. Sometime it's almost like having the house to myself while Kyle and Kelly play.
So we've been in Maryland for a year now. It's nice to know the area and not feel like "I need ABC and can't find a XYZ place to buy it." While the only person I was really making friends with moved over the summer (what crappy luck is that?), it was nice to be greeted by several people at the school's open house last Friday. Either that or they just like to see the walking circus show that is my children and me.
Mentally I'm in a good place too. I have several tasks to keep me busy and that also make me happy. The kids are healthy, Greg's employed, the sun is shining... Okay well the sun isn't literally shining, we're actually having an overcast 30% chance of rain type day. But you get the idea, good stuff is happening around here.
And the entire time I've been typing this post, I've been knocking on my wooden desk. Because knowing my luck, a freak hurricane will hit tomorrow, the kids will come down with the chicken pox (they've been vaccinated), and Greg will decide to quit his job and weave bamboo baskets for a living (don't get any ideas, dear). If I could ask for one thing, it would be that Maryland was closer to Ohio and Indiana, I miss our extended families and friends. I guess it's only 8-12 hours, we could be living across an ocean or something. Still it would be nice to share this contentment with more than 6 people.
