Crazy People

I am convinced that 90% of the people that live in this little town are CrAzY drivers. The most insane, crazy, rude, annoying people are driving around here and now it's making me crazygrumpy. People in WV complain about people from Ohio all the time with their horrible driving. Ohio gets a gold star. I don't know what it is. Is it in the water? How have I not noticed this before? Hubby has been telling me for a long time. A really long time. Just about every time I get in the car, my good mood goes out the window. Geesh. Everyone here needs a lesson in driving etiquette. STAT! In other news, I'm about to go full time with work. Like serious full time work. I haven't done this in 4 years....I was home sick today, and I realized how much I miss being home. How lazy, I know. I hang my head in shame, really I do. I am going to miss being home for the kids after school. I miss not volunteering at their schools. I am worried beyond comprehension about how Zack will get from one school to the other with out getting lost and/or freaking out. I miss not having to worry about after school care at all! I miss having house work taken care of during the week. Hello, I need some cheese with my wine tonight. It's all new. Everything. Old and new. New home. Old town. New Job...actually Old job. New schools. New friends. New adjustments. My kids are amazing at handling all of this. I couldn't be prouder of them. Me? I miss the previous chapter of our life. I'm working on it.

Testing.........

Is this thing on? I haven't written in forever. When did it become September?? Not that anyone really reads my drivel...but anywhoo, I am alive and kicking and busy all hell. I have forgotten what being a working mom is like. I am so exhausted at the end of the day! I don't remember myself being so tired when I worked previously. Maybe it's just that I'm a few years older now? lol So we have been here for almost 3 months now. Time has gone by pretty fast. Our house is finally starting to take shape and looks pretty good. We have odds and ends that need to be done, but all in all, it's so much better now than when we bought it. The kids have started school. Zack is doing really well. I still can't believe he's in the 4th grade. He has made some good friends and likes his school. On the first day I asked how it went, and he said "GREAT!!" "We get 3 recesses!" lol He has done so well and constantly surprises me at how well he has taken all of the changes we have thrown at him. Taylor likes her school and her teacher also. (They are in separate schools) I am a little more concerned about her though. She seems to be having a harder time with it all. I know she has fun once she gets there. And when I pick her up she is usually in good spirits and says her day has gone well....but getting her up and ready in the mornings is a tougher situation. I don't know if it's because she's really tired, or if she's really unhappy. Time will tell, right? I am to start full time by the end of the month. I hope I can work it all out. The after school care program at Zack's school seems to be a joke, and he's not old enough to be by himself. Not that he would anyway! I've always been a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal....I'll just wing it per usual. :)
