back - sort of

We still dont have the internet totally up, its giving me weird messages, and Im typing on Dereks keyboard which has no question marks and apostrophies for some reason... instead it types é or É every time I attempt those. weird.
We are getting settled in though, less and less boxes everywhere, though the majority of whats left is in my room - I hate the mess, but by the time I get to my room in the evening, Im so tired that I dont want to tackle any of it. So Im still living out of boxes and bags. My computer table is not together yet, either and Im absolutely dreading it, the compartments, the shelves... but until its put together I cant unpack half of the boxes in my room because its all computer shit.
As for our co-existence, we are getting along very well, but our kids dont. Jamie (Dereks 3 and a half year old, adorable little son) hero worships Lydia, copies everything she does, which of course she thinks is just awfully annoying. She bosses him around, which he tolerates for a while, but when he says no (to being a reindeer, or sitting in school where Lydia is the teacher, or whatever), then she gets immediately fed up with him and demands private time in her room, which makes Jamie feel rejected and frustrated, and then he acts up and becomes defiant. Sigh. Its hard, because we decided that he should sleep over at least once a week, on Friday nights.... well see how it goes next week.
Derek and I are great together though, we support each other and love each other and live very harmoniously. I dont feel like I have to be afraid to express my feelings, though my old (just keep the peace and not say anything) personality still creeps up sometimes... I have to work on that.
