Its been a very long few days and oddly enough at the moment most seems too foggy to even remember what exactly it is that I needed to catch up here on. :(
Brian is gone, he left yesterday and he arrived safe and sound in Chicago early in the afternoon. Christopher loved the airport. He was amazed with the planes and the size of them. He loved all the things in the airport too. The big fire ants the dinosaur bones, and the luggage claim carousel and we had a big laugh when an empty baby carseat came up and there was no baby! LOL! He was sure the baby was playing on the conveyer belt below still. We hung out for a few and then said our goodbyes. We went home sad and heavy hearted. I got back and took Joey to my mom's house and my mom invited us over for dinner. She made turkey and mashed potatoes and peas. It was very good. I hung out til about 7:30 and then got the kids home, the dog in and fed, the kids baths done and both kids layed down. I finally layed down around 10:30 and didnt fall asleep til almost midnight. I kept thinking I heard stuff downstairs and I had myself almost in a panic. :( I talked to brian for a few and had Blue in the bed. I finally passed out and was up this morning at 6:00. I got the kids up early b/c we are a week from starting school and I want Christopher to get used to getting up early again. He did good this morning but was a bit fussy so I know he needs to "practice".
Today I have to get some laundry done, grocery shopping, and maybe wash the floors in the bathrooms upstairs and kitchen and diningroom. Its mu first full 24 hours now that I have ever done this completely alone and I am scared a little. I am praying for strength and that maybe tonight I may sleep a little better...with less lights on in the bedroom.
Last week is a blur to me. I dont remember anything at the moment to mention.
Christopher starts kindergarten in one week. Thats crazy to me. This friday I have his open house and I am excited to take him to it. I know he is going to love school. He is already so excited for everything with it and thinks his school is the bee's knees. :) I will post pics of his school and Brian leaving tonight.
I have to figure out what he is wearing on day one and this weekend we have to hit up the dolly madison for snacks for the lunch box. I have a lot to do and remember to do all by myself! Wish me luck.
Much love on my lonely Monday.

Hi my dear Granddaughter. I have all the confidence in the world that you'll do just fine...you're very strong. I bet Christopher is excited to be going to big boy's school soon, looking forward to seeing the pictures when you post them. That's a bummer another piece of mail is gone from your mailbox from us...WAAAA!!!!! I called my bank and talked to Brian our financial adviser and he said the check can only be cashed with your ID. When you come for a visit we'll go shopping and you can pick out a gift that you like.A NEW CAR??? YIKES! HEY NOW! LOL! Hang in there, keep busy, I'll call you this week.
Love, your Butterfly Grandma
thanks grandma. I needed that. I havent felt this sad and alone in a long long time. I didnt realize how much I enjoy him around me until he isnt and I am completely out of control on the subject. I feel like an arse complaining considering some peoples husbands have passed, or at war, or divorced, but it still sucks. :( Thanks for everything. I love you.
