She's Coming Home TODAY!!!

After moving out in August, Katie is coming back home today. Granted it is only for 11-12 weeks before she moves to Lubbock but starting today she will be back under our roof. My friends asked me if I was excited and I hesitated. We all three have adjusted to her being gone and "on her own" and George and I have had to adjust to being "on our own". So I do see another adjustment coming. And at the Shelton household we don't adjust to ANYTHING well. I mean we do eventually accept change but not without a lot of "drama" before hand. My rule for all three of us, stated two nights ago before the MOVE started, that we were all going to have to readjust ( I mean 9 months IS a long time) and that in the process we needed to be patient and KIND. Something else we don't do well I might add. :0) So, yes, my baby girl is returning to the nest today. I am excited, I am expectant, and a little anxious. I have all these grand ideas about how much we have all changed and grown in these last months but in my heart I know that in a matter of minutes of us all being together we will revert back to the normal (using the term loosely) Shelton household routine. "What time is supper?" "I am hungry." "Dad, did you smoke IN my bathroom?" "Turn your music down!" "Don't use that tone with me" "MOM (with an eye roll thrown in) and so forth. So yeah, perhaps we aren't as enlightened as I think/hope we are. But in the end............none of that matters..............She is coming HOME today and down deep..........I am not only excited.......I AM THRILLED!!!
