Ch-Ch-Changes...

Life is crazy!

I made another trip to Ikea to get some bookshelves and desks. I am learning to love Ikea! I got 2 bookshelves, 2 desks, a nightstand, and some misc. odds and ends for under $500! The oldest now has a more "college" looking bedroom and the son has a desk that fits in his tiny room. I bought the youngest a desk at Goodwill for $5 and we painted and stamped it together. (A scary side note: we saw the after effects of a motorcycle crash on the way to Ikea.)

The oldest has started college. We went to orientation Sunday and got all oriented then she had 2 more days of orientation before classes actually started. She was a bit overwhelmed at first but she seems to be settling in rather quickly. She already has her work study job lined up. The only remaining snafu is we ordered a bunch of her textbooks online (we saved about $200 this way) and one of them has yet to arrive.

The hubby's job is changing...again. This is a good thing but it has been tricky getting schedules worked out as he is vacillating between 1st shift and 2nd shift for a few days while trying to wrap up the old position and get the skinny on the new position. It will be very nice to have him home in the evenings! I know the kids will like having him around more often as will the Sexy Housewife! ;-)

I have also returned to the working world. It has been a little chaotic adjusting but I am doing surprisingly well with the stress.

The son is already playing football. The two youngest start school next week and they will have to be moving a little faster in the mornings then they are used to. I know they will do just fine but what kind of mother would I be if I didn't worry just a little?

All of this will be good but the transition will be a bit bumpy but hopefully not for too long. I do hope I can still find time to blog.
