TLCB Drought

So we got the house--the plan is to close on January 28. I really don't want to move though. Sad, so sad. But to help me along, the washing machine drain backed up today. I can't wait to leave this rental and move into a new house! But I don't want to move.

I had a great trip to Ohio. It was a little stressful beforehand because my mom's trip to visit fell through. And there was a snowstorm the day I left. But we know awesome people here who helped us out and I was able to leave the kids in good hands. And the weather cooperated enough to let me fly out. It was great to see Jonathan again. He loves his new job. I got to shop alone and we ate out on the company's tab. And I was reminded how much I love Ohio. Even though I don't want to move. Jonathan and I drove back together on Friday and he spent a day and a half at home before he drove back Sunday afternoon.

It's been tough having Jonathan gone but I am surviving. The kids are being really good. And I've had company both weekends. The first weekend Emily's and Amy's husbands were also out of town and we got together on Saturday for pizza and games. The next weekend, Katie's husband was out of town so she and her kids came over for Sunday dinner. I've had a lot of wonderful friends to help and support me.

I hung out with Emily yesterday--my running partner. I will miss running with her. I wonder if I'll do it on my own. Probably not. We've actually been slackers lately with travel, cold weather and absent husbands (do I dare leave my kids alone while they're sleeping to run for 30 minutes?). But we still work out two mornings a week. I have awesome muscles.

Has anyone noticed that I haven't been to a Lucas Cates gig in over 3 months?! We're scheduled to go on January 2. My last one, sniff, sniff. Amy, Emily, Cynthia, Patty & Katie--I know you've noticed. And I think maybe the band has too...
