WHAT A WEEK

Well I know I haven't posted for a week now. It really doesn't have to do with my HUSBAND BEING HOME really, ok maybe a little. However things have been crazy around here with the weather change and kids getting sick and me trying to fight getting sick. So I guess I'll run down the week with you all. As we all know his flight was delayed 24 hours. 30 mins before I was suppose to leave to get to the airport I asked my oldest if she wanted to go and pick up daddy with me, she was so excited because she had no clue he was coming home. So we got in the car we left the house @ 1740 and got to the airport @ 2000. There was a ton of traffic and I went the long way. (there was a shorter way) We got there with 20 mins or so to spare which was fine because Alexandra and was bouncing off the walls and I don't know if I could have taken that in an airport for more than 30 mins.. We got home around 2330 that night. Friday it was up early to get Alexandra off to school. My husband found out on Friday that he was going to outprocess with CRC on Weds. Cool however CRC is in GA. So his flight left yesterday and comes home Friday. Try explaining that one to your kids, who think daddy is leaving them again. Which he almost didn't make it to the airport for the flight due to a late pick up(and traffic)from the service he uses to get him to the airport. The weather has changed. So we are all getting runny noses. I was really looking forward to not having to use gas or electric for a least a month but that isn't the case. We've had to turn the heat on. We keep it @ 62 though. In the morning it's programmed to heat up to 70 and cut off around 1000, when the sun starts to shine throughout the house. This weekend is going to be a long one. Alexandra is out of school Friday and Monday. We are getting ready for Halloween. We always do something big for the kids in the neighborhood. This year we have a pirate theme. We are turning our house into a ship and the yard into an island where the treasure in buried. It's so fun because all the kids no we always do something but this year we are waiting until Sunday evening to put anything up. So all the kids are trying to guess what we are going to be doing. My calendar for Nov is filling up quickly. My hubby is going to be taking pretty much all of Nov off for leave. Hopefully we won't want to kill each other by the time his leave is up. JK. Well the kids are yelling for me and the beds need to be made. So I'm off to the races if I can knock out the house work early I can lay around the rest of the day. I'm no feeling to well myself and I'm trying to fight it off. I figure if I keep moving it won't catch me, we'll see if that works.

Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind words of encouragement and those who have checked on me. Again I'm living proof that they do come home. I'm already looking back and saying WOW time flew by. Now on to the next step after the honeymoon is over we have to get back to normal.

More to come
