Today

At some point today, my darling husband will come in the door after driving for 24+hours from Salt Lake City. I cannot Scooby Doo him the way I'd like to. Or maybe I can. I don't know. I don't know what it feels like to drive that long and under the stressful conditions they are...hopefully by now I can say were in.
All I know is that somehow when he's home, there is more time in the day. Yes. At first I'd imagined getting to sit down and write my book (I am at 11,000 words, by the way)- which I did do. Each night. I didn't run, I wrote. But still. Zoom. The night would just go by, GONE. Last night his brother was over, and I know that helped the night zoom by too. Yes, Cullen is magic. There is just more time when he's here. My Time Stopper!

Turns out my Time Stopper also throws in a load of laundry when the situation starts looking desperate. And he probably wouldn't have needed to call his mommy in a panic when the furnace was "off" and needed the VERY OBVIOUS switch flipped back to the "on" position. However, I'm positive that none of the pizza that we made out with last night would have been left over for the kids for their lunches today either. There, I found ONE bonus to his absence. I'd trade that pizza for him about 3 days ago now though.

Turns out I'm pretty good at staying on top of things without him. Especially once I figured out that HE is the magic laundry fairy. But I do not wish to keep up this pace for an extended amount of time. That meaning- no longer. I want it to end TODAY. I think he'll have tomorrow off of work, which will be fantastic! It helps having an adult around to talk to during the day. Especially when it's one that you like so darned much.

COME HOME, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
