Visitors

a year and a half ago we moved 5 hours across Texas, away from family and friends. To a VERY small town, where we knew no one. As a shy indoor person (kids help) it's hard to make friends. Slowly I do but everyone here grew up together and/or are related. So those nice days at the lake you see them post on Facebook...you aren't invited because you aren't "family".

When family happen to visit...mostly my mom...okay it's been my mom since we moved once my dad. That's it. My kids love when she comes. "Nonnie is coming!" Is all I hear for days. So 90% of the time it's just me and the kids with my husband in the afternoons...it's hard to adjust to visitors because I'm not used to them! It's also hard when we go visit because I'm used to being alone with my small family. By the time I adjust...they are leaving...

My Life

My daily dose of dinosaurs begins at 6:30 am from my almost 6 year old son, lets call him Dino Boy. Today it was raptors. He let me know that there are still raptors alive today as in birds. Doll Baby gets up at about 9 each morning in a fit of crying because 1. I don't have a cup of milk in hand or 2. I'm not fast enough with gathering all her dolls in a box to carry down stairs. Doll Baby is 2 going on 13.

Now at lunch time, I'm fighting with both and threatening nap time...thank God my mother is coming up today...
