Disbanded

For the last three and a half months the kids and I have been on our own.  Things happen, people make decisions about their lives and it affects many. 

To catch up,  we left Dhaka,  and the kids and I honkered down in Seattle area, awaiting the arrival of our Diplomat Head of Household.  He came after he took a trip to Hawaii and California.  Our lives have been forever changed from what I learned that night when he returned to us.  The summer was full of emotions and stress.  Would I move to South Africa, would I stay in America.  There really wasn't time to make these decisions.  So the whole family moved to Johannesburg. 

It was not a happy time for me.  I was so alone.  I made good friends, but felt so lost.  I knew it was just a matter of time before I left to come home.

I really dont have the capacity to write what's really going on,  maybe one day I will, since I think it's interesting and I have learned alot about myself in this process. 

Currently a single mother of three, and working part time.  I am doing the best I can, but sometimes, it's not enough.  Sometimes it is. I am not the same person I used to be, which makes it harder,  but I have fight in me, and I will find myself again. 

I will make a new blog, since the Knettles aren't Travelling anymore.  One Knettle is,  the other 4 are home.
