my home changing
I am in the process of adopting siblings, 2 girls ages 9 & 11. I am a single and now a single mom. They have not fully transitioned here as we are still in the visitation stage.
I have to laugh when I read these responses. I know this in theory, but it tires me out to read. My life will change drastically. My spare rooms are now bedrooms. My partially finished attic room will become a playroom. I HATE going to the grocery store and now that will be a regular chore. I HATE going shopping, also a regular chore.
No longer can I stay out at my friend's houses till 1AM in the morning playing games. I cannot, for my own sanity, stay up all hours of the night and sleep in in the morning. My life will become scheduled and interesting to be sure. There will be just as many or more adjustments for me as the girls. They are used to being kids and having a "mom." I am not used to being a mom or having anyone else to worry about but my dogs. My life is fixing to be unrecognizable and I am tremendously excited!!!
