Weekend is gone

Or almost. We are about to start into our 25th week here in Dallas. Thus far a total of 175 days.  And it won't be a moment too soon for me until we are back in Vegas for visiting.  I just need the break and the time back there to recuperate a bit.  I hope it will help us to feel a bit better about this move.  I know - - almost six months and here we are still not dealing well with it at all.  Its hard to not feel like we sold out and made the wrong choice, just for a paycheck.  But in all essence of the situation, I guess that is what we did.  That stings a bit.  I am not even sure where we stand on any of this because its just a blur most days.  We just are in the motions and not doing much else from day to day, week to week.  We do try to get out and we've seen new things.  But the "newness" and novelty of it all has worn off long ago.  I feel a bit like we are stuck in a Twilight Zone episode, for lack of a better comparison.  Nothing changes here, every thing is stagnant.  The neighborhood even feels somewhat like its Zone worthy.  I know I am exaggerating.  There is a lot that would help make things easier to transition, but we don't know anyone and don't really have ways to "make friends" either.  Its not like we can just go out all the time, since once again there isn't anyone to watch the boys. But we do what we can to at least make this bearable.  Next weekend should be a lot of fun and a good distraction with Halloween.  I hope it can be a fun one for the boys this year, as well.  Let's hope.
