It seems like I haven't had a moment to sit down and blog but I can't think of anything that was big enough to stop me. Does that make any sense?
All of my visitors have returned to their own homes. While I love to have them here it's nice to slip back into our routine. Well a slightly altered routine. CCB has been putting in all kinds of time at work. It makes me a little lonely I have to admit. I know he'd rather be here but it's just out of his hands. SO we get back to as normal as we can be and revel in the time we do have together.
My son is sorely missing the extra time he's used to with his daddy. His emotions are all over the place. We had a meltdown at the store the other day (right after his grandparents left) unlike anything I've ever had to deal with. It left me feeling humiliated and angry. He was screaming and crying and hurling insults (the best ones a 4 year old can come up with). It was awful. I was reduced to an ugly yelling mess when we got home. I felt even worse after that because I lost my cool. He's been sweet as pie since that night. Except for flashes of defiance. I'm trying to nip that in the bud right now. Rough housing sessions with his daddy seem to set him straight again. I call them beatings. I tell CCB that the boy needs a beating tonight and he knows its time rumble. Boys are such different creatures from girls.
My daughter misses seeing her daddy too but she is old enough to handle it. She has been giving me more affection lately which is out of character for her. She's not a touchy feely girl so it's extra sweet coming from her.
Most of my Christmas shopping is done. What I have is wrapped. Christmas cards are addressed. I just need to finish shopping for CCB. Neither of us really have much on our wish lists so it's proving to be a little more tricky. Usually CCB amends his list right after his birthday in August but not this year. He's slipping in his old age!
Any who....That's what we've been doing.

you slather me in guilt....shopping almost done? gifts wrapped? cards addressed? You need to go into the christmas dunk tank for humiliating the rest of us. I'm surprised you haven't already baked. You must live in Who-ville.
There is a list in front of me of things to do on a yellow sticky note. I keep adding to it but not crossing anything off. How are you getting so much done? As always, you amaze me.
So, I guess we didn't get a hit out on the boss if CCB is working even more? Darn.
My husband has been gone quite a bit and comes home late because of work. Noah peeks at the door every time there is a noise to see if it is his dad coming home and he is only 8 months!
things run in cycles---you're due for some time with your feet up on the couch.
