Slacker!
So I've totally been slacking on my blog posting! I read everyone else's and they're all cute and lots of pictures and they even have time to change their layout! ( Summer so cute by the way!) And then there's me. This past month has been pretty crazy. I don't even know if crazy is the right word. Austin got offered a job working in Washington, which we're so grateful for since he had run out of work, but it stinks that he is 10 1/2 hours away in a little po-dunk town called CleElum. It's about 80 miles outside of Seattle I guess. Anyways, I've actually been super lucky cause he's surprised me a couple of times and come home when I didn't know he was going to which is nice, but I feel like when he's home we don't even get to spend any time together! He gets home at about two in the morning usually on a Friday and then he's exhausted the next day cause he just worked a full day and then drove home, but he tries so hard to get up and play with the kids and spend time with us. But it seems like we spend the whole time unpacking him, cleaning out his cooler, doing his laundry, going to the store, repacking him, and sending him off on Sunday again. So pretty much it stinks. But like I said we are very grateful he has a job. Being a single mom is definately not something I ever want to have to do. It's so weird to come home and do everything by myself and the kids. I definately miss my hubby and can't wait to see him again! I love you hon! I must say I do have great friends though. We've been trying to do something at least once a week so I'm not so terribly lonely. Thanks guys! We went to the usual spot to watch the homecoming parade which was extremely short, but the kids didn't care. They got quite a bit of candy and saw the cougar! What more could they want? Try having all those kinds look at you at the same time...pretty much impossible!

Oh I feel ya. Greg had to Move here for like five months before I did. Well If its possible and Austins going to be in Washington for along time I would say MOVE haha. Families need to be together and it could be a new adventure for you guys. Thats how I thought of it. Because the town I live in is pretty sad too. Its the size of rexburg but so much more redneck. Its like a big St.Anthony LOL.. Well keep hanging in there. Your kiddos are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteOH Chantell that is aweful that Austin is that far away. That really stinks. Hang in there. By the way your kids are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteHomecoming Parade...how fun! It probably doesn't sound as fun because you live there - but I would think it was a riot to go. It is fun to see Summer and Cortney in that picture too! Awe - Homecoming memories! I hope that Austin gets home soon - that has to be tough.
ReplyDeleteSo glad one of us brought a camera! See, you're no slacker. We'll have to think of more fun things to do during these weeks of having no hubbie around!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was in WA. Too bad you don't come up this way and visit because then I could see you! There are so many kids in your pictures I don't know who's kids are who's besides your kids.
ReplyDeleteHey, I was reading Jess Sessions blog and saw your name. Hope you don't mind. I know what you are going through. Ty and I did that for two months and I finally couldn't take it anymore. So we found a cheap rental and life is better. We need to catch up!! I'll call you.
