Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I last blogged. I apologize to those who have been checking my blog, only to see that it hasn't been updated. Where do I begin?
I guess we can start with the known fact that yes, we've moved again. Crazy, you ask? No, I don't do crazy things like that. It's only the beginning of the school year, right in the middle of all my weekly chemo treatments. Adding a whole house move in the mix of it all would be insane. Insane!!
About mid August, I realized that my daily commute to work and getting the kids to where they need to be each morning was kicking my butt. I did two drop-offs last year as well, but cancer wasn't in the picture last year. Heck, I even enjoyed the commute. This year, I was really struggling to make it to work on time each day. Tony and I discussed possibly moving to the north Fontana area to be closer to my work, my parents, my brother, and to his brother. The only con about this whole ordeal would be adding 30 minutes to Tony's daily commute. That's 30 minutes to an already hourly commute each way. However, in the long run, it is the best decision for our family, considering this journey is not over yet. Not even close. I have two major surgeries coming up in the next few months and I will need all the help I can get.
So, have we settled in yet? Nope. We still have things in boxes, but I can finally park in the garage. Tony scooted everything to the side so my car can fit. It doesn't feel like home. Coming home from work exhausted, then helping Matthew with his homework, dinner, baths, etc. You all know how it goes. Life gets in the way of unpacking and settling in. I need a day. Maybe two. Maybe three. Just to sit. Maybe lie down for a while. Maybe fold laundry. Or grocery shop. Or take a nice bath. Unpack some boxes. Think about life. Blog a bit. Catch up with friends. Or even forget about cancer. If only for a moment. I need a moment to breathe.
