1 Down...1 To Go

Well, it's been one week since Keith left on his business trip to Germany. Now, we only have one week left to go. I have to say, the week went by pretty quickly. We are much busier now that both kids go to school (even though Noah only goes twice a week). We also still have gymnastics once a week, so there has been plenty to do. We've also been painting and redecorating Makenna's room, so that has taken up some time. (More on that to come.)

We've been doing fairly well. The kids, I think, have been doing much better than mommy. They tend to get too busy trying to kill each other. At least that's what it sounds like from the playroom down the hall. I guess I should clarify that...they absolutely love each other to pieces and love to pick on each other that much more. They end up getting pretty rough with each other, but the one thing I hear over top of all of that is both of them laughing to their heart's content.

I try not to let them know how sad I get sometimes. I did have a rather rough morning today, though. I am fairly used to taking care of the children by myself through the week because Keith works on the night shift still, but I got up this morning and just felt kind of lost. Saturdays are the days we get to see the most of each other and I just didn't feel like I knew what to do with myself. At one point Noah found me in the bathroom crying and he just looked up at me and said, "don't worry mommy, don't worry mommy". It was so sweet and I was able to get myself together.

We're back to school on Monday and through our daily routines, I'm sure the week will fly by just like the last. Makenna made a calendar that she put on the refrigerator and each night before she goes to bed, she marks off the day and counts how many are left until we pick up Daddy.

Keith, we love you and miss you and can't wait to see you on Saturday.
