If you follow me on social media, you already know, but all of the ‘behind the scenes’ planning that I’ve been doing is for our move back home to Indy. My emotions change about every 15 minutes on this matter. One second I can’t wait to be in Indy, closer to my family, Indians games, the Children’s Museum and my friends from home that I hardly see. The next second I’m thinking about how much I’ll miss this home we built, our amazing neighbors, being a SAHM, and all the stress that comes with buying/selling/showing/inspecting/paperwork etc. My stomach has felt like it’s been on a roller coaster all week because we are now in the thick of our move. My husband has given his 2 week notice and I can finally share my joy of our move with the world, but I’m scared. I’m excited for Jeffrey’s new job but I feel like I am dissapointing so many people by moving (out of the state or not close enough to them.) Unfortunately, I care too much about what my friends and family think and need to focus on making my immediate family as happy as I can. Being a good mom, wife and homemaker need to be my top priorities and I can’t keep worrying about everyone else. Sometimes I feel like everything is too much. All I want to do is close my eyes and sleep until it is all over, but that’s not how you live life. I would miss out on so much goodness if I let even just two weeks pass me by. I must keep moving forward.
Best of luck with everything! As a people-pleaser myself I know how hard it is to feel like you are letting people done, but as you said, your family (and you!) are your top priority.
Thanks Bev! Too true. Just gotta keep that in mind. 😉
Definitely will disappoint some but you gotta do what’s best for you and your family. If the rest of the family/friends really love you, they’ll understand. Best of luck!
You’re right Lisa 🙂 Thank you!
Congrats–how exciting to start so many new adventures! How absolutely overwhelming! Be sure to cut yourself plenty of slack! With so many tasks, Irma important to maintain a sense of humor!! Are you coming to Indianapolis?
I’m trying my best to cut myself slack. Some days are better than others but this (closing week) I’m doing yoga with my sister every night to help unwind so hopefully that will be the start of a new practice for me! We ARE coming to Indy!! Are you here?! I remember you saying you drove in but I thought it was an Indy suburb? We’ll be in a suburb as well on the north side. 🙂
