Four Kids and a Blog

When we first got here and moved into our temporary residence, it felt kind of like an extended vacation. A small apartment, all of us together, unfamiliar furnishings.....and to add to that feel, there were plenty of items that I should have packed but didn't. Plenty of things we would need for our "visit" that never occurred to me. Like, long sleeve clothing. Jeans. Socks. I am not sure what I was doing when I packed for this adventure, but I surely wasn't using my brain. I chalk it up to the stress of leaving home in a really condensed time frame. Still. Almost two months in now, and we have spent plenty of money to make up for the absence of the necessities I left behind. And now in one week our temproary situation comes to an end. Back to reality. Back to a home. Back to every kid having a place to go. Back to larger than one thousand square feet for six of us. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VACATION TO END.
