Skip Wednesday, Now Thursday.....

Okay so I skipped posting yesterday. I had a good reason. I got a call about 11:30 my time that my husband was on his way home. Well actually not until 6:20 my time. It was actually a huge ordeal. We were suppose to get sleet/freezing rain/snow last night. The way to the airport is nothing but a big huge bridge. His plane was not due here until almost midnight. What fun driving there at the time and with the weather. The good news was the highway department was already out and waiting for it. But it did start to sleet but the temp was just high enough that it did not start freezing on the roads. It could have came a blizzard after I got back for all I cared. I was just happy that it was not that bad. Not that I can't drive on ice, I just don't like to.

I got to the airport hoping that at the time of night Starbucks would still be open. No luck. So I sat in the chair and waited. I checked email, sent a couple of text and looked at a new free magazine until the plane landed. I just kept waiting for the phone to ring and him tell me that it was on the ground.

The first thing he said when I seen him was "My butt hurts".....lol. No glad to see you or I missed you (although we talked several times a day). But his butt hurt. That is just the way we are. We don't always say what we are feeling when it comes to emotions.

It was good to have him home. We still had to get up to take the oldest to school. But he at least had the day off. And he got thrown right back into the routine here. I know that it is hard to be away and start your own routine and then come back and be thrown into someone elses. We didn't have to change what we were doing just because he left. We got up did out things and went to bed. He had to deal with the changes in the weather and the time change. Now to be back here with the weather about the same (okay it actually snowed there) and time change again and to have to be here with the kids and all the other house things. It is hard to just adjust in one day. So I gave him a bit of slack today. That and I didn't feel well. I got up easy, but after we got back I just wanted to sleep. And now Michael is asleep. To him it is an hour later and I know that really does take some adjusting to. But I am really glad to have him back.

It's getting late and I should be getting in bed....took that nap this afternoon. But I have a couple of things that I need to get finished. So I will post again tomorrow unless it is just one of those boring days.

It's Tuesday...

Another day is coming to an end and it is another day closer to my husband coming home. He has at least 3 more weeks to go and it getting tired of the cold temps up there in the north. Well if he was home he would hate the temps in the next few days.

Well I finally got the dinning room cleaned out and the table is bigger for us all to sit in there and have a bit of room. It's amazing how when you change from season to season that not everything gets taken out. I know, I really should make sure that it does. It's just easier to put it out because I don't usually do it all at one time. Unlike when I take it out. But it is just one of those things.

I don't make New Year's resolutions, that way I am not in the % that never does them past the average 3 weeks. And what makes people think that the habits they have had all year long can be undo in the first few week (or days) of the new year? I know that it is just a starting point and a good one for things that people want to change about themselves. But wouldn't a Tuesday the second week of June be just as good? Maybe that is just me.

So my oldest didn't have to go to school today. Seems they don't start back until tomorrow....lol. Guess I should have paid attention to the website better. But that's okay. I did get things done. He took the lights down today which was a huge help in itself.

So here I sit again tonight. Talking with the hubby online. He had a long day at work and it is 11:00 his time and probably should be getting to sleep. I don't mind talking to him. I really don't have anything better to do tonight. I am not really in the mood to read so all I would do is sit and watch TV. All those channels and not a damn thing on. I know, it's just that there is nothing that I want to watch. Some would say I was crazy, others would say it is because I am restless. And I figure they are both a little correct. I have never even considered myself totally sane. I think we all have to be a little insane to get through the day. It's not just our action that we have to be wary of, but those of others. We can't compliment someone, can't tell someone that they suck at their job, and pretty much can't speak our minds. One for the fear of being killed and the other the fear of being sued.

I don't just blame the attorney's that take the cases or the judges that will allow them to be heard, I blame society as a whole for allowing them. If these juries would just say enough is enough instead of saying it was okay to sue and collect money that they didn't earn.

But I am trying not to blog about that. I want to try to stay positive....at least for the three weeks.

It's time for me to sign off for the night. But I will be back.

It's Monday....

So it is the beginning of a new year and I keep asking myself where did last year go. It seemed that we just started and there was spring and wow I am putting up a Christmas Tree. Now the tree is down (still have the lights outside) and I am making plans for the year. I wonder if making plans and keeping track of things to do in the future is part of the problem. We use calendars on our desk, pda's, cell phones, computers and other electronic devices that tell us about upcoming events. We have all these things keep track of our lives that we are always looking forward to what is next week that we forget about this week. I know, if this week is boring or stressful why not forget about. But I think if we do we will be here next year wondering the same things.

I started off this year without my husband. He left on Dec. 28, 2009 to go to Connecticut for work for a month. Believe me we talk all the time. Both on the phone and online, but it's all those little things that you miss about them. The comfort of just having them there is the big one. You know where you could just turn and talk to them. Or if you are watching something you both laugh together. Yeah those little things.

But now he has been gone for a week. He goes back to the hotel and comes online and just pretty much sits there the entire time. Well it's not as if he has never been in this house but he seems to think that is the same that I do. How soon they forget the kids and all the things that were always there. It just drives you crazy sometimes. He did that tonight, like the kids decided to cook dinner and clean the house and be perfect for one day....lol. That's not about to happen anytime soon and if it did I would be afraid.

And it snowed last night and part of the day today so the vacation was extended into today. Yeah I am ready for the oldest to go back to school, but I still have the youngest two here because I home school. I am actually looking forward to getting back to that because of the structure of the days with them working. But I have got to get them organized with work. I keep list of everything. And I hope they get a little of that. But I don't think you just get it, I think you have to teach it.

So tomorrow I get to try a new plan. The other one didn't seem to work so this year we start off new. The chores are also going to be added into the work day for them. I mean we are suppose to be preparing them for the real world, and believe me those socks to walk themselves to the dirty clothes and they don't wash, dry and fold themselves either. Don't I wish they would.

I will blog and post when I have something to say. I have so many of these blog, but the hubby has my laptop so I can't blog from there where I usually do so I am unleashing another blog on all you. I figured you all needed one more of these out there to either ignore, read and laugh at, read and yell at, or just read and know that we are not all perfect and someone is willing to blog about it that is not in a movie.

With all the facebook keeping track of what we are doing, I think taking the time to just write something that is on our mind and share a piece of ourselves with others. Better than..... I am writing on Facebook, I updated myspace, I am in the bathroom, I just got home. Come on please take the time to think about it before you post it. We don't want to know that you just got home, that you are in the bathroom or that you are picking your nose. We might want to know what is on your mind, but then again......maybe not. I just thought about it, if you are posting that maybe you don't have anything on your mind. Okay that was mean. But let's be honest, we really don't want to hear it.

Well I will leave you all with that to think on. If you are one of those that post that stuff, please, please, please, stop. And if you are the ones that hate..... hope this makes you smile. Have a great one.
