Sorry I've been away...again...

So I look back on my blog to realize it's been much longer than I thought since I posted. The past 5 months have brought on stress and craziness that I never would have anticipated. My husband was able to find work, though states away in IL. I've been working full-time and taking care of everything at the house by myself. I pray that this will end soon, as my husband is trying to get into the Secret Service and finally put an end to his traveling. I bounce back and forth from feeling empowered to depressed. I've enrolled the kids in daycare 4 weeks ago, and we're still in a transition phase that they are not adjusted to it yet. It's been so hard to leave my daughter screaming and crying and return to find her in the same state. I cling to the hope that I will be able to return to being a stay-at-home mom once Shawn gets a fulltime job with benefits, but deep down I know that that is probably more of a fantasy than reality. Adult life is not what I'd thought it would be....
