For those of you a little concerned about my mental status, just thought I would let you know that I am doing better. Yes, the “no shopping thing” is still a go and no, I am not going to jump off a cliff as a result. I do not believe anyone has ever perished due to lack of retail therapy, I don’t think…

I have been infinitely frustrated at my inability to let go of my old life and job and embrace the brave new world that surrounds me. As I drive to and from work I am astonished by the beauty of my new hometown and equally surprised by the fact that beauty doesn’t trump all my other feelings about the move and the changes. However, I do feel that I am starting to adjust a little better. Really, I am, I promise.

I spent some time doing some volunteer work last night and it was really great - not the work itself, but the opportunity it afforded me to meet new people, which was much needed. Also, we are really enjoying Shoreline Community Church in Monterey and are pretty sure that is where we will get involved. So, things are coming together.

Kevin is out of town for business for the next three days, so it is just me and my little boys. I am actually looking forward to spending time with them, even if it is chaotic being a faux single mommy for the week. Never mind the fact that I had to bribe Isaac to get dressed this morning with marshmallows and that Joshie went to daycare in his pajamas…..

The good news is, I have a new David Sedaris book that should keep me entertained in the evenings and it is Tuesday…what does that have to do with anything you ask? Um, Tori and Dean is on tonight!!!

Thanks for all of your emails and comments people, it keeps me going!
