It has been way too long since I posted last. I have been so busy with my job and the kids, and our business, and emotionally I have been feeling very tired and generally bummed. I have so much to do every day, and I feel like I am never caught up, and I am always falling behind. When I sit down and really think about it, I am really doing okay. I guess it is probably just stress and being overwhelmed. And I miss Jack. I got his grave marker today. It is a stone that has his name and a paw print engraved on it.
Jayson gets to come home in one week! He gets a whole week off before he has to leave to go back to Kansas, then it is off to Afghanistan... We are planning on taking a motorcycle trip when he is home. I am looking forward to that. It will be nice to spend some alone time with him before he has to leave.
The kids and I have been staying very busy lately. Last week I took them to a small lake about 25 miles from our house. They had a lot of fun swimming in the lake, but ended up with itchy bumps later on that evening! I don't know what was in the water with them, but the bumps are still there, so they are more than likely going to go see the doctor tomorrow! On Wednesday, we went to Cheyenne to watch the air show on. That is always a lot of fun. Then that Saturday we went to Mitchell, NE to watch the remote control plane fly-in. And yesterday we went to Casper to watch the hot air balloons, got up and left the house at 3:00am, got there about 5:30am, and at about 6:00 they cancelled the show due to wind! What a let down! So we got a hold of my brother and his wife, and we all went to a place and raced slot cars. The kids had a great time doing that, so it made missing the balloon show worth it for them. Then we met up with my sister and we all went out to lunch. It was nice getting to see all of them. We got home about 6 last night, and I am still tired from the short night before. I would love to be able to sleep in, but I just can't! I am the most productive in the a.m., and this morning I was up about 6:30, went and sprayed weeds, walked my big dog, and finished my landscaping project all before my kids even woke up! Now I am tired again. I have a hard time falling asleep at night, then get up way too early, and I wonder why I am feeling less than chipper these days I need to do something early in the evenings to help me relax so I can go to bed at a decent time, and actually fall alseep! Sometimes I wish my mind had an off switch. But them how would I get it back on?
