adjustments


Derek came home on Friday, Hooray!! What an answer to prayer it was for our entire family. I am so grateful to have my husband back, especially in time for Christmas. What an adjustment though it is to me! I have what you might call "control issues". Yes I admit it, I like to feel in control of things, rarely am I actually in control, but for a few brief moments I like to think I am. So while Derek was away, I was in charge, I handled all circumstances, decided what we would do and when, well now that Derek is back all that changes. Not that he himself in a control freak at all, but I have to adjust to another grown up in the house, and be aware that it is not all about me. Plus the expectations!! No matter how many times Derek goes away on deployments, there are always those expectations of what it will be like when he is back- the house will be calmer, the kids will be better behaved, and you will live in perfect harmony. Ha!!! I know, I know, this is my own fault, I think the time away you forget the faults and dwell on the ideals, so once everyone settles in you realize how wrong you are!! Plus you realize you couldnt control this either! But regardless of all the little bumps, I am happy to have my husband home.
