Lonely Days

Well, this month has started off with lonely long days.  Hubby is off in Texas, then New York, back home for a day, then back to Texas, home, Texas and then Libya....all before the end of this month.  I think by the time the month is over he will have been home a total of 8 days for all of January.  Hmph!  Makes for some lonely days.  Yes I have the kids, but, being pregnant and away from friends and family, then add in my best friend being shipped away from me makes me wish we could all load up and go with him.  I know this could be worse, it's just harder to have him away with a baby on the way.  Not the end of the world, but, makes my world a little more lonely.  I have to say though, I am so thankful he has a job, and if that means he has to go places to have this job, then I am all for it.  It's just too bad we couldn't have stayed in Texas to begin with.

The weather has been beautiful, so no complaints there, nice and warm during the day with wonderful sunshine.  I think this is one of the only places in the U.S. that isn't frozen!  I had my daughter help me last night to finally take the tree down.  The ornaments have been off of it for awhile, but, I couldn't get in close enough to lift it apart without help, so I put the oldest to work with me.  We were successful!  I have never had the Christmas tree up so long, ever. (funny thing is, I didn't mind)  :)  We also had to buy a new washer, and I am waiting on that to be delivered today.  This whole washer/dryer thing didn't work out in my favor and I ended up forking over a very large chunk of change to get things back in order.  So it once again puts off the purchase of anything for the baby.  Good thing he really only needs some clothes and diapers and a place to sleep, maybe the other stuff doesn't matter?  We shall see.  Ah, this is my life!  I wouldn't trade it for anything =)
