Things in my life are never uncomplicated. I had grand visions of a peaceful, relaxing summer. Days spent lazing by the pool or the beach with a camping trip here or there. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew it sounded too good to be true.
Now that the dust has settled on the grandparent front, I go and make things even more complicated. For starters, we are moving at the end of August. I'm very happy to be moving since we are going to be closer to all the things we do and a bit closer to hubby's work. We made sure not to jump into anything too fast so we found a nice place in a nice area. But of course that means packing up this entire house in two weeks. We have a big camping trip scheduled for the end of August and I really don't want to miss it. So if I can have the house packed and ready to go before the camping trip then viola! we can just move after we get back. We are supposed to get home Wed. night from camping and move Saturday morning. I know I'm a little insane, but I really need the camping trip.
The other thing that is on my plate at the moment is my Epic adventure. A friend and I are currently writing our curriculum for an entire year. It will be wonderful once it gets done, but it is requiring a lot of research. So imagine combing that with all the other stuff going on it had been a bit crazy. Plus I do think we bit off a little more than we can chew. But the nice thing is that I feel intellectually challenged. I haven't felt this good about something in a long time and it has been great having someone to push me along. Now, if I can just get it all done by the deadline we set for ourselves!
And the thing that has thrown a monkey wrench completely into everything? I can't believe I'm actually going to admit this one but here goes. I have found myself completely obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. I started reading the first book on one of my flights. I thought hey the movie looks kinda cool so I'll read the book and I couldn't stop! I finished them all in less than week because I couldn't focus on anything else. I swear these books are like a drug, I can't stop thinking about them and obsessing over them. And they're written for young adults! Okay, so now you know my secret. Laugh if you will, but on the plus side they were my escape from reality that I desperately needed, something light and fun with a happy ending. Do you think hubby would mind if I traded him in for Edward? Hmm....
