End of Summer a New Beginning

So, our lives have taken a major turn over the last few months. We have moved, (twice), Ted has started school, we have gone from a career track to college, from settled (somewhat) to transitioning.

In a week, my oldest child will begin middle school. I guess I am going to have to get used to the idea of being a mother to a teenager. My third child will be starting Kindergarten. It's going to be strange having only one at home during the day again.

I look forward to change. I wish it didn't come in the form of a layoff, and move back to a town I never thought I'd be back to, but I feel as though we are no longer just along for a roller coaster ride. I feel like we are actually behind the wheel for once.

It's a nice feeling.
