I have really had a weepy kind of day today. I am really missing my husband. I don't think it kicked in till after the ball season was over. I stayed very busy bringing 4 kids to their practices. It kept my mind off. Now that my mind is occupied with other things in the pms like blogging and Waste book (as one of my very good bloggie friends called it today) I just realized how much I miss my husband who is still in Panama.
I cancelled an afternoon of spending time with a good friend who wanted to learn how to make a few of my recipes because I just couldn't deal with talking about moving and plastering a smile on my face. Though she is moving around the same time we are! But she is not sad about moving! She was here temprorary as well but she has a very extended family and roots where she is returning! I don't have the same roots! I do have part of my husband's family back to where we are moving, but not like hers. My hubby will also not be moving with us. He'll just be moving us and going back to work overseas. he is hoping to bring us with him. This time it's to Jamaica. But I don't want to go for just a few months. Panama was a fine and dandy month long visit, but I don't know if I really am ready in my heart to pack for a who knows how long this time visit. Please, pray for this decision. We want to know what to do.
We've been in this area almost 20 months now and have grown to really like it. I mean I know where places are, the best way to get to them, got friends and great hs support group with an em loop and all.
I was wondering today what will I miss the most when I leave this area? Now, it's way past midnite and it's not a good time to mop around but I fugured:it's already late!!! SO, I will attempt shortly.
1. My friends and my kids' friends. Friends at church. Just found one we really love!
2. Running out every other Sun am (well, in my car that is) to Panera bread to get a bakers dz (half asiago/half cinn crunch) bagels with cream cheese and be back in under 10 min. and grabbing the Sunday paper with the comics and all the coupons and stuff in my driveway. (see I got 2 in one here)
3. Running out (again, I could run to it but it would take just a bit longer) to Kroger to get a gal of milk (upon finding out some big kid drank the last 16 oz that were supposed to last the whole family for cereal for bfast) and a loaf of bread (cuz he ate that with the milk before bedtime, he is only 12 ya know!) and telling the kids to continue doing school like I am home and returning 20 min later to see them doing so and acting surprised: Oh, mom, you were faster than 20 min. There were no sales?
4. My gym, again, running distance
5. The movie theater, running again. Though we've only been 2 the whole time we lived here. I took the kids to watch Kung Fu panda after hubby left. And just watched Madagascar.
6. BAM, Hobby Lobby, Target all in one convenient location 5 miles away, 0.2 from I 85!
7.The mall, small, but again running distance.
8. Sam's -4 miles away, same deal with school-do not move if you want lunch that your brother so thoughtfully ate. Yes, I know, he didn't know I planned on using that for lunch.
9. Libraries- 2 great ones!
10. My russian friends whom I just met and who are planning a NY's celebration our style! I am feeling myself just starting to tear up here at number 10, so I will have to cut it out right here right now before I break down crying and my hubby thinks I am writing this blog directly for him. I am not, baby. I am just way emotional today and am glad I went on the airport (yes, we even have a small one here) field trip instead of dealing with "school" today. Will try to juice my future pilot for details of airport field trip as well as the gazillions of pics he took. I won't bore you with the unedited ones. I am really good at the delete button!
That's it for today (wow, it is early in the am, my hubby would be getting up in a few hours and I am still not in bed.) I wonder why he still calls us early and leaves us messages wondering why we are still sleeping! LOL! We've all been going to bed late here. I think we are in denial that there is a bed time since our curfew police is gone (dad).
