It's not that bad but I like having my own space that I can leave Logan's things everywhere and a place where I don't have to worry if I forget to close a window when I turn on the AC or if I load the dishwasher wrong. My parents are great and have really made us feel at home. My dad encouraged us (rather persistently) to empty all the boxes in the garage so we could feel settled and my mom was really excited to inform me that I could cook dinner each night and take care of the dishes each morning! I guess I'm lucky because I will have the house all to myself during the day. I'll be free to hold a teething, slobbering fussy child for 8 hours straight who has yet to adjust to the one hour time change and sleep through the night. An adorable baby who refuses to have a regular bowel movement in this time zone (bring on the suppositories and explosions). I also get to do laundry and clean and cook for my new family of 5. I just can't wait for Gray to start work again cause it will eliminate my nap time and bring home very little money (since he has no clients yet...) And don't get me started on the wonderful increased price of everything and even more expensive gas. Yipee! And seriously who could forget that winter is fast approaching and I will be privileged enough to become a hermit because any attempt to go outside after 4 years of Portland weather would be plain insanity. I don't even think we own a warm jacket for Logan.
As we get more comfortable with being back home and close to family I just can't help but jump for joy. Here's to midnight screamings, feedings and backed up bowels. To cold toes, noses and jacked up prices. To cleaning and weaning and cooking galore! It's great to be home!!!
* a small note to everyone: I am aware that I am hugely blessed with a super amazing family and healthy baby and really just wrote this late at night while I was overtired and sicked of being nagged about minor things. It's all in good fun *

Living with my parents (without anything else different) would be more than enough to drive me over the edge! Good luck Diana. Change is hard and winter in Canada just plain sucks (we all agree). Don't think about it yet. Just get through a few more weeks. Things will get better soon. When you feel you reach the bottom there is nowhere to go but Up!!! Love ya.
It'll get better! Hang in there and hope Grey gets some patients, or you can just pack up and come back!!!! (And I would die living with my parents, my step dad nags me to death over every little thing!!!)
your funny. the only think you cook is fresh boobie milk! haha
Your mom is so nice to let you cook and clean. :) Hope you are settled and not feeling overtired at all. I am patiently waiting for the day I get to meet little Logan and see you again. You could come live here if you want. Just so you know.
