This past week has been a little more on the difficult side....Jamie went back to work and of course we missed him. I missed him the most I think....he and I gel together quite well and I like being around him. We often dream of working together.....in Alaska or somewhere. So this week was a week of adjustments all round. Its been tough. We are finding living in town...while good, exceptionally good for petrol costs, ease of getting around and the general convenience of living 400m from the town centre....we are finding the closeness of the neighbours a little claustrophobic, the lack of view and privacy and the lack of open space somewhat hard. My children have grown up using country voices and now need to learn town voices...perhaps we too need town voices. I am insanely paranoid of the neighbours and them being able to hear the kids screeching, arguing and general kid noises, I believe I have even told them off for laughing too loud. Who does that I ask??!! I think that it is made worse that we have no children directly around us..well actually I am guessing we don't because I haven't seen nor heard any at all. I have seen children twice across the street but thats it. What do town children do with themselves I ask? Perhaps if I saw some learning to do back flips on the trampoline or flipping on to mattresses I would feel better. If its like this now...how will I cope in the school term?
I most definitely know without a doubt, with all my heart that God has blessed us with this house....its really perfect for us at this moment in our lives, its what we need. Its still taking a bit of getting use to and I am missing my old normal.
