Getting Back To Things

Before I moved, I figured that I would throw a Fourth of July barbecue/party in our new backyard. I had convinced myself that I would be completely unpacked, organized and company ready a week after moving day.

Here I am almost a month later, and we are still living out of boxes. There is so much for us to do before I feel comfortable having people over, some painting projects that didn't get finished before we moved in, some furniture that we still need, as well as the unpacking that has to be finished. I almost want to go back in time two months and laugh at myself for thinking that this would be so easy.

But life goes on, and summer has been pretty good to us. The weather has been nice, and we've been busy. Now is the time that I need to start getting back into a routine, as everything has been thrown off for a while now. I almost feel like I'm treading water, and need a fresh start to move forward. And I want to move forward before I loose this time. The boys will only be little for short while, even Munchkin is starting to seem so big to me, and I want to actually feel like I am here with them, not just around them.

What kind of changes do you make when you need fresh start?
