Uprooted and Stressed

Uprooted

I feel a bit stressed over moving back to California. Everything is different and the transition is difficult for me. I love San Diego and will be happy to be back there going to playgroups, seeing people, going to beautiful beaches, smelling the ocean. It's difficult going from seeing Gardner all day everyday and living in a small space all my own, to not seeing Gardner much and living in my mother-in-laws huge house. I am constantly patroling and keeping messes at bay, keeping spills from hitting the new carpet and keeping Lucy out of all the piles of crap that are not for toddlers to play with. I get stressed just thinking about it, I am really going to try and relax while I'm there and remember she raised 6 kids and she must know something about how curious a three year old is and should be. Not that she would ever say anything, she doesn't ever say anything, I just get a nervous feeling. I will have fun with Lucy, do the best I can to not destroy the house and everything will be fine.
We have alot on our plates next year and I should be happy dreaming about all our plans not stressing about how to be perfect in my MIL eyes. YIKES and YIPEE at the same time!

Another beautiful piece of art! I wish I had your talent! I'm sorry you're stressed....it can be difficult, I'm sure she understands, having had 6 kids. Relax. If you ever need to get away a few hours, come on over. Lucy would have great fun with my girls! Sorry about your blog, that's weird, huh? Thanks for making me a link, that's a 1st, and feels pretty cool!
