Mike left this morning for Houston. He is there to help his Branch Manager in Training set up his office there and will be gone till Wednesday night. I was worried about boredom, but decided before hand that I was going to use the time to work on digital scrapbooking. I am soooo far behind and would like to catch up a bit. My goal is to have at least 16 more pages done by the time he gets home. Wish me luck!
I just wanted to mention that I admire my sisters (Kellie and Jessica) that have had their husbands gone so much and done it without complaining. Mike hasn't even been gone a full day yet and I miss him terribly. I am not envious of what you girls have had to do alone, but I have the greatest respect for both of you. I love you girls!

Could I ask you a favor?
I realized that I have little, ahem, no motivation to do anykind of(scrapbooking?) manly picture showing off stuff. Is there a chance I could send you a memory card and you could post some stuff for me?
I realize how precious personal time is so if you don't have any just say no. You won't hurt my feelings, I promise.
Great job on setting a goal while he is gone. I also admire the girls that have to let their husbands go - I don't know if I could do it. I think it is great you are going to fill your time with something rather than just sit around and mope that he isn't there.
Funny how scrapbooking comes in spurts. I did 5 pages on Saturday while wondering if I was really in labor. Now the motivation is gone again - or just replaced with living pictures.
Sixteen pages would be awesome - you can do it!!
Thanks Kata. It makes you realize how tough you are, that's for sure. I always think of the line in Robin Hood (the cartoon) "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and then I end it there. Or the other quote that says, "If you love something set it free..." since both are true for me.
It's funny how the time after the kids are asleep are easy enough to fill even without the man around. It's all about what YOU want to do, which is nice every once in a while, but fine to give up just to have them back.
Oh, and Kate, I love you too.
