* Updated * I'm all alone
Or at least I will be starting tonight! John is headed up to Utah early tomorrow morning with two of his brothers (Mark and Ken) to visit his other brother, Mike. Mike's going through a rough time right now, divorce, has no money, so Mark is going to buy Mike's Jeep so he'll have some extra cash. It's a long drive, so I won't see John again till late Wednesday or maybe even Thursday morning! I'm sad. Thankfully I have the day off on Monday so Ben doesn't have to be at the babysitter all day long for 3 days! I'm just crossing my fingers that he'll at least have cell phone reception.
As a "you owe me" sort of thing I'm going to see 27 Dresses this afternoon with Mandie and Melinda. Yay! I'll post a review when I have time!
** So John is officialy gone and I've been wasting my time on the internet browsing sites I can't visit at work and lamenting the fact that I have to crawl into my big cold bed in a little while. After doing my RS News and Notes, that is! I asked John where in Utah they'll be, but he has no idea. Once he finds out I'll post it. I'll work on a movie review and try to post that tomorrow!
*** Okay John isn't in Utah at all now! He left last night to sleep at his brother's since they were planning on leaving at like 4am. Around 2am he got really sick, much like the stomach flu we all got at Christmas. Needless to say he wasn't about to get in a car and drive! I didn't find this out until about 11:30 when he texted me during sacrament meeting. He was home by then and feeling a little better at least! I know he's disappointed he didn't get to go, but there's a reason for everything! I'm happy to have him home!
OH you'll have to tell me how that movie is!!! I wish you had Tuesday off rather than Monday cuz Caleb is leaving me to go out of town for work Monday evening till Tuesday night! Darn it!
You know? We need to get Brady and Ben together for a playdate! I dont work mon-wed this week so if you want to come over one evening (or sometime mon) and they can beat each other up that would be so fun! Give me a call!
Where in Utah is John going?
Can you guys believe I've never gone to an official playdate? If I can get my act together we're definitely on sometime soon. I have so many things I need to do around the house! It's a never-ending cycle for me. Mubeen, that would have been awesome if it worked out!! Too bad I don't have Tuesday off too!!
How was the movie--it looks cute!
Well I'm home alone, and Matt really DID leave. I'm ok with it though. That means I get the bed to myself, and anyone that knows how I sleep knows that this short body needs all the room it can get. And I find it really annoying to have a husband when it comes to bedtime because he wants to go to bed earlier than I do. I know I don't have to go to bed when he does, but I hate him going up and leaving me alone downstairs. So I'm happy for the next two days to do what I want!! We have a much different outlook on being alone. :)
Missy, I feel the same way you do about having to get into bed alone. (Josh was gone this weekend, too.) I stayed up late watching movies until I was too tired to stay awake anymore, then I went to bed.
You know, at one time in my life I completely agreed with you, Kari! But now that we have Ben my life is subjected to his wants/needs. Before if John was gone I somewhat looked forward to doing what I wanted, watching what I wanted on tv, having the bed all to myself. But now, it's nice to have a second hand keeping an eye and offsetting the tantrums/wants of a toddler. Our days of freedom like that are over (enjoy it!) but I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything.
