Been a BUSY month!!

Well, I haven't written on this thing in a while - good thing I don't make a living blogging, huh? LOL.

These past few weeks were physically exhausting, but soooo worth it! We have finally completed the move from Ball Ground to Alpharetta and I couldn't be more at ease with our move. We are closer to Mike's work and once again living in civilization - where groceries can be purchased without a planned road trip, a full tank of gas and several coolers!! The apartment is clean, the apartment community is quiet and calm, the neighbors are sane and normal and *gasp*... nice.

Our move was quite the physical challenge for me due to the pregnancy, but I still managed to be more of an asset than a liability. I hate having any physical restrictions on what I can do because I'm such an independent "do-er". I did overdo it, but the baby is fine and I'm still in one piece, so yippee skippee.

These eyes are focusing on the future so I don't get trapped in the present.

There are times I still ask myself "How the hell did my life end up like this?!?" A college degree and no decent job. From a homeowner to a foreclosed renter. An independent contributor to our household income to a completely dependent liability, from a career-having working mom to a stay-at-home mom who is now completely useless other than to love my kid and keep the house clean.... a woman who when she needed a new car, would just be able to go out and buy one, but now.... hopeless.
I just can not allow myself to sit and dwell on it or even think about the reality of it all - if I do, I'll fall into another pit of depression - and that for sure will not be helpful.

So, I'm going to focus on being thankful for our new location, looking forward to the September birth of our little Amelia, watching Elise become a big sister and then getting my career back on track after Amelia gets here.
