Some weeks I stare blankly at the screen wondering if I can even manage to string a few coherent thoughts and sentences together for SOC. Other times my brain is spinning and my fingers are flying and I race the clock and want more time and more time and more time. Weekend flew by and my kids have a jam packed social life...their mother...well not so much. I am counting the weeks until we will live there...all under one roof. Although we don't have a rock solid date it will likely be early June. I am at that point where I am thinking in terms of how much time we have left here. How many more sleepovers? How many more play dates? How many more Brownie meetings? How many more trips to visit my family just a few hours away? As desperate as we are to all be together it will be heartbreaking to leave. Heartbreaking to stand by as the kid's say goodbye to their best friends, to their teachers, to their favorite places. In a way I said my goodbye months and months ago.

Moving is never easy. We do it all the time and I fear when the time comes as my son becomes older.
Sorry you have to move so often. i think it gets much harder as the kids get older. When we moved here they were 2 and 4. Now we have 5, 8 and 10 yr olds.
Moving is so difficult...shoot it was difficult with just my husband and I. I couldn't imagine throwing some kids in the mix.
Hugs
Changing and moving can be hard on the kids but I'm sure they will be alright :)
It's the emotional part of the move that is hardest for me right now.
having moved several times growing up and as an adult I know they will be better for it in the long run. It's the here and now and the goodbyes to come that are killing me.
Change can be hard but sometimes it's so worth it. I know it's tough now, but it will be okay.
I wish I could skip the hard part---the long goodbyes.
i relate so well to the more and more and more time and the fingers flying. love your imagery here...
i've never linked up for SOC, but have often thought it would be a good release for me...
You are a good momma! It takes a good one to see it from their child's perspective and be prepared for the changes ahead. It will be difficult but they are in good hands and instead of being in two good hands...they will be in four :-)
I've done this...lots. It never gets easier. Hugs to you!
Oh my goodness, what an amazing prompt!!! Bookmarking it -- I want to play this weekend!
I am so in tune with what you're saying. My husband works out of state most of the week and we're trying to sell our house to be reunited. But at the same time, I'll be sad to leave my life here. I feel you!
