What is Happening?

The house smells of coffee..........
The t.v.  is  blaring Garfield.........
Hunter , Hadley and I are in our pajamas...............
I am in my favorite spot (at the computer reading blogs)..........

But, this Tuesday morning something is not happening, My husband is missing from our routine. Brian has been gone since last wed. We are all missing him very much! It does not seem the same here without him. My children are missing their daddy dearly. Hadley keeps asking me  "Where daddy go?" so sad. Hunter is really out of sorts, he is missing his confidant and best friend. Brian would be happy to know how much he is being missed. His arrival is scheduled for wed. evening, in the wee hours of the night. He has enjoyed his hunting trip, he got " the biggest Buck he has ever seen"  on Sunday night. He called me with such excitement in his voice. So the trip has been a success, although he is missing the conveinents of home.

So, I have needless to say been very busy, I am definitely not cut out to be a single mom. I do not know how Tracy and Charity do it. Their husbands are gone for months at a time, and go to a much dangerous places than a hunting camp. I give them both kudos, but I imagine I would adjust as they do.

Why, can anyone tell me do contractors work as a snails pace? They have no sense of urgency. The contractors for my work are just about done, lots of little things that need to be done. They are carpeting and tiling the last two units tomorrow and the school should be complete on Fri. I have to admit I am becoming a little nervous. It has been almost six years since I have had a "REAL" job. I definitely need to get back into that mode. I worried about how the kids will adjust and how Brian will be without  me by his side 24 hours a day. Again, they will adjust,right?
So, Monday morning we will be setting up the school and hopefully the doors will open to the new families on Dec. 1st. Very exciting.

This weekend holds some exciting plans. Brian is going to be Hunter's soccer coach on Sat., and Hunter gets his picture taken in his uniform on sat also. I will let you all know how it goes. I have to go over the children's names with Brian, instead of him using "hey you"!

I am not going to the school today, staying home to attempt to get lots done. I need to finish up a term paper, write bills, cook a nice dinner and of course this goes without saying- laundry.

I am still in denial that Thanksgiving is next Thursday, that just means that I am even more behind on Christmas. I need to start on the Christmas cards, maybe this evening.

Grandma- when Brian gets home I will ask him some suggestions.

Have a great Tuesday, Amanda

Amanda - Boy do I know how the laundry piles up! Will you be going to your mom's new home for Thanksgiving this year? I would love to see pictures of it. We will be at Mom's for lunch and Tilak's parents' house for supper. I'm sure I'll be miserably stuffed but will enjoy every second of it! Talk to you soon! Love, Shell
