It seems like I write about Home a lot.
I especially have these past couple of weeks.
Taking a glance at my previous blog site
http://jbrownflash.blogspot.com/
I notice that too was often times
All about Home.
I love to get out, go places,
explore, and meet new people.
Some people have asked me, "Are you ever home?"
I always answer, "Home is where your heart is."
However...
After 2 weeks of sleeping on air mattresses and small beds,
visiting with lots of family and friends,
traveling, and eating in restaurants
I am enjoying my quiet house
and being nearly alone at home.
(Only 2 dogs and 1 sleeping teenage son remain in the house).
The sun is shining and I am thinking about going for a walk.
Life, as I have experienced the past 16 months,
will not be the same.
Life is changing again.
And I am okay with that.
I have never cared too much for life always being the same.
I don't mind a bit of daily routine,
but I don't want life to get stagnant,
or boring.
Clearly my life would not be considered boring to any outsider.
Raising 8 children alone keeps things in constant motion.
And so it goes....
Daughter #3, her husband, their dog Tessa, and soon to be baby boy are now living with us.
We are excited to have them here on the west coast, and in our home
...at least until they find their own place
Tomorrow, #2 comes down from Seattle for the weekend.
9 people, and 2 dogs in the house aren't a worry for me.
Parking 7 vehicles on our tiny street is!
I anticipate lots of car moving, shuffling, and repositioning.
It will be a noisy, chaotic, and a very loud home, filled with much laughter,
and probably even some bickering.
But it won't be Boring!
On second thought instead of taking a walk, I should probably make a grocery list and head to the store.
There will be a lot of mouths to feed.
Even with a house full I can't help but wish we
ALL could be home this weekend.
We will still be missing 5 more family members,
Bella, another dog,
and Mr. Burnside, a bunny.
Yep....
Certainly Not Boring!
Tonight we kick off the kids 3 day weekend by celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation with 2 of my daughters.
By Monday I will be ready to get back to the new job I started 15 days ago.
Welcome Home to me!
