Snow, Snow, go away, and bring back a sunny day!

DAY 7-
After Day 5, and the day going by to fast, yesterday went by way to slow. I just need a day that is in between that. I guess that is today. It is going by at just the right pace.

Last night it started to snow. Seriously, I was in no mood to see snow. The kids are on spring break, not winter break. It was snowing hard also, and windy. I let the kids play in the snow today for a half an hour, because that was about all mommy could handle out in the cold. They all seemed fine though because they had on snow suits, thick jackets, boots, gloves and snow gloves. I would check every so often to see how much longer I had to be out with them on my phone timer. I took pictures of them making their snowmen, and snow angels. After we came inside I ran outside to the side of the house to start Josh's truck for a few minutes. Come to find out his keys were in the glove box the entire time. That was just a hard day for me last week, and so I completely forgot where they were. I decided that Wednesdays would be the day for me to start his truck up, since that was the day that he pulled it in beside the house.

Josh did start our day off great though. He called this morning, we were on the phone with him for 18 minutes. It had been 3 days since he called. The kids also got the chance to talk to daddy, the first time they spoke with him since he left last Thursday. I asked Michael what daddy had said, Michael said, "daddy said to ask you to take us outside." I don't know how true that is, or that is how Michael was getting me to take them outside. Josh must have attempted to call last night because he said the phones were down. Josh also said that some guys are calling their wives every day. He said that will burn the wives and soldiers out talking that much, and it will be hard for them to concentrate on their job. I was like, well, they just love their wives, he was like I love mine too. I think that was his round about way of telling me why he doesn't call that often. I was like you just like to leave your wife guessing, as if it is a mystery of, when is my husband going to call me again. After the kids talked to Josh their behavior was so much better then it has been. Not fighting, back talking, or temper tantrums, some of these but not as much as it has been.

Yesterday was also a crazy day for me, not only did my hair straightner thing break, but then I opened the boys closet door and that completely came off. I tried my best to get it back on but couldn't. So I called the place that we are renting from to put a work order in on that, and then the leaking faucet upstairs in the kids bathroom. I left a message with somebody, and they were suppose to return my call. I'm a little upset to say they never called me back. Oh, and then I ended the day with the rubber seal on my washer started coming off, along with the wire that keeps it in. I was like okay, I'm not going to deal with this right now, I will deal with it in the morning. And I'm proud to say, somehow I got that fixed. Yay for me. Because I really don't know what I would have done if I didn't.

Night time is still taking some time to adjust to. I'm still a little lonely without him here to spend the time with. I have also been having problems falling asleep. It is nearly impossible, I guess I just don't like sleeping alone in our bed. I have let the dog sleep on the bed, but then after about a half an hour he jumps off.


Oh, how could I almost forget. I have something exciting to say. From the end of May to middle of June the kids and I are flying back to the place where Josh and them were born, and then taking a drive to where I was born. At least we have that to look forward to as soon as they get out of school for the summer. Until then, we will just continue to take one day at a time.
