Changes...

So, here I am...
Almost one month has passed since Josh has returned home. Boy, I wish time had flown by this quickly all last year!! But none of that matters now - we're together as a family.
So what have I been up to... the big words that come to mind are changing and adjusting.
Or maybe a better word is spinning. I mean, who would've thought that having your husband home would be a lot similar to getting on roller skates for the first time after ten years??
I know, lots of my long seasoned military friends would be telling me - "we told you so..."
While they are probably right, I say, to each their own.
So, now I'm slowly remembering what it is like to have someone around (and not just someone, but another adult, that I love and care for) to have random conversations with at all hours of the day. I don't even have to pick up the phone to call my mom... now, all I have to do is just holler down the hallway.... or look across the table and "bam" there he is! And while this is a great thing, it is taking me a while to turn off my "internal dialogue" and actually talk out loud.

Changes: ceremonies to attend, a promotion, of course I'm still working now and then (but now Josh is around to help with the kids so they aren't at child care the whole time), sharing computer time, who makes the coffee or the bed, someone else to watch TV with (and likes totally different shows!), less stress, more stress, less time with girlfriends I bonded with thru the deployment, more time with my Honey, kids transitioning - taking to Josh one day and clinging to me the next.
It's like the best rollercoaster I've been on in a long time; exciting yet scarey, up and down, smooth and bumpy - all at the same time!

Just thought I'd share a little bit...

Take care -
