Slowly, but surely we are settling in. It is very difficult to integrate two households. It's not just integrating. My first mistake was being too considerate. I broached some of the changes I wanted to make with Mom and she agreed. That is as far as it got. No changes, just talking about them. Then she complained about all the changes I made and how she can't find anything. You have to laugh or you will cry.
Anyway we are making progress. There are still a few things at the apartment to haul over and some cleaning to do. And then that part will be done. We will miss all those neighbors, especially the kids.
I got Dave's other bathroom shelf hung and the whiteboard in the office. I figured we needed one of those for notes to ourselves. I can see that I need to get much more organized.
Mom is having the most difficult time with the changes. She likes the quiet. And while the littles have quiet times, her memory doesn't allow her to note the difference. She just remembers the moment when they are loud. Not sure there is anything we can do about that.
A friend suggested talking to her doctor about it and ask for any suggestions.
My life is never boring.
