Coming back to Maryland was a little tough for all of us. I missed the company of my friends & i'm quite sure the kids did too. I tried to be super excited for them...but really we were just all in a funk. It wasn't until this day at the beach, that I realized that we are where we need to be right now. Not just because we were rolling in the sand and sun (althought that helps!), but because Shane needs us to be here. He's doing so fantastic with his job & he needs our support. I'm writing a long list of places we want to see before we leave here, so I know that will help pass some time. I'm going to spend my days learning more about my sweet kids and our family. And stop feeling sorry for myself.... ya know, Bloom Where You are Planted?! :-)
When we spent the day with my mom, I was telling her that I was glad to be going back to Maryland. She said it made her sad to hear me say that. I'm sure as a mother, it would. And looking back I think I was just exhausted from seeing five million people and staying so busy. I've realized now that I can't wait to get back...... Are you happy now, mama?
So glad you are feeling better about it. You're there for a reason, and will look back at this time with sweet memories. My family moved away for a summer one year, and although it was kind of hard, it was a neat adventure too. I'm sure your kids will feel the same.
ReplyDeletei'm glad you've put on your big girl panties and decided to tough out a few more weeks beachside. i can imagine all the fun of a few weeks ago made it hard going back, but you know Shane needs you and the kiddos there, and you all are making such unique memories. thanks for letting us share in them!
