Transitions

Good Morning:

The move is looming in a week or so and I can't wait!  I can't believe this is MLK weekend.  I am ready to get unpacked already.  There are tons of decorating and organizing ideas swirling around in my head and I am ready to implement them in our new house.  Good thing we get a little extra money from the Navy so that Harper can get some big girl furniture, including a big girl bed.  I hate to take her out of the crib while it still works so well.  But, Mason is ready for the crib and I'm ready for her to be out of our bedroom.

Harper sleeps very well in the crib but I guess you have to start growing up at some point.  I'm not looking forward for her transition into a little girl's room, but we've got to start sometime.  Also, the ol' bobby (pacifier) will be going bye bye pretty soon after we move too.  Once we get used to our new house and room, the bobby will be saying adios.  

Mason has her 4 month check up today.  I'm sure she'll have to have shots...my favorite.  I don't mind the shots but I know how crummy she feels afterwards.

I have cut my hair off recently and thought that would fulfill my hankering for change.  It did for a little while but I'm still not happy.  I love my hair, but I think my feelings for change root deeper than wanting just a new look for myself.  I think my uncontrollable longing for change is tied to my weight.  I am unhappy with how I look in the mirror and even more unhappy about all of the clothes in my closet that I cannot wear.  Granted, I am not morbidly obese and I did just have a baby, but I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight...and that is too heavy for where I want to be.  Tommy and I are going to scope out some gyms in our new town and hope to join up soon after we arrive.  I feel so lazy and cooped up down here.  There is not a good place to get out and walk, much less play outside with the kids.

So, I'm hoping that when we move, we will all have a smooth transition into our new, but familiar and improved, life! 

That is enough rambling for the moment. 
I may be out of touch the next few weeks, but I'll be back eventually!
