Tired!

Spring has arrived and it's fantastic, especially when you're living in Canada with snow and minus temperatures for 5-6 months of the year. I know it won't last, that we'll have at least one last cold spell/snow dump, but it's definitely welcome sunshine and warm temperatures for now. So why am I so tired!? Usually the sun brings out renewed energy, but I can't seem to get going today. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, I'm just going to go to bed early! I've been thinking about life here in the 'village'. I'm not used to living in a small town, and this is definitely a small town! Problem is, that it's not just a small town, it's a small army town that has a turnover of people every few years, so when you know something is temporary, you don't establish roots as well and deep as normal. At least I don't. I think other army wives are better and the here and now, and do very well making the most of their time in a place, but I always have in the back of my mind, the fact that I'll be leaving and even the house is temporary and not ours, so I don't try and make it mine. That's probably a large part of the problem. I need to do the exact opposite. I need to try and make our lives feel permanent in a temporary place, so I should be making our home as much our as possible. Anyway, I've got a five year old yammering in my ear, so it's going to be a short post today. But as promised, at least once a day!
