Ok, all you mommas. The KidStuff Consignment sale in New Albany begins on Friday. Come by Friday or Saturday and buy excellent used (and sometimes new) clothing, toys, furniture, accessories, and housewares. I'm always finding incredible deals there. Plus, I'm selling a lot of my kids' stuff. It's on Grant Line Road in New Albany. Check it out.
I've fallen off of the exercise wagon. I started back on the treadmill last week and was doing well, but then I got this icky cold thing and now I have slacked off again. I feel like every time I make some progress, I get some illness and fall behind again. I'm attempting to rededicate myself to working out! You read it here. Now help me stick to it!
I've fallen in love with my husband thousands of times. This time, it's because I miss him. I've sat for days, feeling sorry for myself because he's been away for work for over a week. But then I finally sat and thought today that he's missing us, too. He didn't ask to be sent away for work. And he's working hard and away from home. Part of me wishes that I had a job that would take me away sometimes. Probably because I'm the one who is always home. But Dave is working hard to provide for us. And that makes me proud. And it makes me love him more. I can't wait for him to get home on Saturday. I can't wait to hug him. Hold him. Be with him. I love him.
Dave left for Oregon at 2 pm. Or at least, that's when I dropped him at the airport. And that's when it started for me. He'll be gone 11 days. That's the longest we've ever been apart. I miss him. I know it's part of his job. And I'm trying to keep my chin up. My job is here, with the kids. But when he's away, I worry about him. I don't sleep well. The kids miss him and don't sleep well. I just can't wait to have him back home. He's my best friend. He's my husband. And I love him.
Saturday night. The kids are in bed. Dave is on a camping trip. It's too quiet in here. I could go to bed, but I'm not tired. And I miss Dave. I didn't sleep well last night--I usually don't when he's not home. I did some jogging/walking on the treadmill today. I am really trying to get back into that frame of mind. Gotta get myself back into the healthier mindset. I've totally fallen off the wagon the past few months. Not much else is new. Tomorrow is Dave's and my brother's birthdays. I'm going to make a strawberry cake for them and we'll have the family dinner. I can't wait! I just want him back home. I'm such a dork... but he's my hun, my best friend. I can't help it that I miss him!
