Hang in there, baby!

I can't believe it is January 16th ! Where does the time go? We found out yesterday that Kris has to fly out to Kansas City, Mo tomorrow for at least 2 weeks, maybe a month. I am devistated! I really am not one of those wives that likes to have her husband gone. I can't even think about it right now because honestly, it really stresses me out! But on the other hand, it is good, career wise for Kris. Their call center for Taxworks is so busy right now and most days they have about 80- 100 customers waiting in que to have their calls answered. This is not acceptable and is obviously not good customer service. So to aleviate some of the pressure on the agents here, Kris will fly to KC to train people in their call center. he will need to train them, and then stay with them until they can handle the calls and questions on their own. Now, back to my side, I already can feel my back tensing up and just the thought of being the mom and dad is making me crazy. But I can do it. i have done it before, but I sure could use lots of hugs and "hey, how are you hanging in there?" I think the biggest thing is that I am just WAY to busy right now and Kris takes so much of the load when he gets home and that will be gone for a while.
Ok. I am done complaining. The good thing for Kris is that the Corporate offices in KC know who he is and that he is willing to do so much for the company. These solutions were his suggestions and they took them. They are willing to see what he can do and how he can help. I figure that just helps with job security!!
Anyway...life goes on and I am blessed with wonderful kids who will help out and who are old enough to have conversations with and with whom I can go on "dates" with. Kris will be in a hotel for a month. I think I will stay here!!

Oh man, sorry that he has to travel again. At least it's not all the time anymore, right? Still, you can do it...you are so tough. I really don't know if I could handle it.

That is no picnic, but it sounds like it will be worth it in the end. Hang in there!
