New House And Semi New Children

We finally did it...after two months of searching we finally found a house!! It took us four incredibly tiring days to move everything....I had forgot how much work moving is and I hope to not have to remember for a LOOOONNNGGG time! I was on autopilot the whole time with no inconceivable notion of a schedule of any kind....barely stopping to eat and just falling down to sleep for a few hours before starting all over again...but we finally got everything moved and the house in some sort of livable order....now we are on to the fun part that is putting everything away. This house has 6 bedrooms so we have a place for everything and then some, but the actual process of getting things were they go seems like it just might take the rest of my lifetime. I swear sometimes I wonder why I wanted to quit my job...I work a million times harder now then I ever even thought about working when I was actually working! I am enjoying having my own space again...decorating the way I want.....having an actual office where I can get things done without interruptions.....BUT what I am enjoying the absolute most is......MY CHILDREN (well at least I think these are MY children)....for the last year Paige has stayed up all hours of the night watching tv until she fell asleep and Brooke has stayed up until we have gone to bed because she slept most nights on a pallet on our floor...but since we have been here....they have both slept in their OWN beds....ALL NIGHT.....and...are you ready for this....AT A BEDTIME!!! And my little no nap taking Paige has even been taking a nap in her bed during the days. They each have a bedroom and they also have a play room so they are not constantly under my feet and on my nerves....AND they are getting along (well for the most part anyway)....things are SO right in my world again. Now I am sure as soon as I publish this post they will inevitably revert back to their old ways of fighting...arguing...and flat out driving me crazy, but it has been oh so nice to at least have a few days of peace and some sort of normalcy in my life....and having my own house again isn't half bad either!
