Another Update

Well, we are now 5 days into the time Kris will be gone...or has been gone, rather! I got a better night sleep last night thanks to a unisom and Caitlyn sleeping with me! I was grateful to have a warm body with me. The dogs are to squishy...in that they like to squish in as close as they can to me and I wake up feeling paralyzed or like I am a mummy! Caitlyn's friend Ciera is sleeping over tonight, so I guess it is back to me and the dogs for tonight!
Kris said his first day of training went very well and that the group selected for this training is really on the ball. So that is encouraging!! Maybe he can get it all wrapped up in 2 weeks and be back home!
I think I am floating somewhere in this numb space that is somewhere between exhaustion and sleep deprivation and a functioning reality where I have to be the adult in charge and make everything happen! Sometimes I just realize that I have been Sitting and staring into space! WOW!
Anyway. Today was a fun day for the kids and I. First we went cruising through the snowstorm out to west haven and then I dropped Nate off at a friends house. Then Nick and Caitlyn and I met the Perrys and went to Enchanted. This was an EXCELLENT movie. We laughed so hard. Nick laughed so hard I thought he was going to fall off his chair! I loved it! I would go see it again and again and will definatly buy it when it comes out!! After that, we went to the mall for a while. Forever Young shoes was having a mega sale..this is the one we wait for all year! BOGO free. So for 18.00$...we got 2 pair of boots and 2 pair of dress shoes...that is about 5.00 per pair of boots and 3.00 per pair of shoes plus tax! Not to bad if I do say so myself. Caitlyn and Ciera got twinner boots and they think they are pretty cool!
Nick got some new books at Barnes and Noble and at Deseret Book. He is thrilled.
As for Nate....Well, i hope he ate some food and someone was nice to him today. I havent seen him except for about an hour this morning! i guess I should call him and see when he will be arriving at the homestead!!
Until later!
