Balance and Normalcy

I'm so glad Dan is back.  Although, he's leaving again soon.  I've noticed that there's a pattern when he's back.  The first 24 hours are bliss and we're all just so happy to be together.  Then there are responsibilities like laundry and paying bills and three very busy lives converging.  It requires collaboration and compromise, something that neither of us have to think about while he's on the road.  We're still trying to figure out how to live this life, two and half years later.  Just when I think things are great and running smooth, something happens.  Something like... BB gets a temperature of 104°.  [Note:  BB is generally okay and super, extra cuddly so we're handling it okay, too!  I love the extra loves.  Just hoping we adults dont get sick, too!]  I am always trying to find balance and once I've found it, I coast through life in a haze of "normalcy" and then I realize, "This isn't normal.  And this is also kind of boring".  Life is a struggle and it always will be.  Stuff happens.  Things out of my control.  I have to realize these things will happen with or without me.  I will find balance when I am at peace with the fact that I cannot control everything.  I'm a work in progress and I would especially like to thank these two special men in my life for being patient with me.  ;)
