Closing Another Day

Well, it has turned out to be a pretty decent day. The dark rain clouds went away and the day ended with blue skies and a beautiful sunset.

After getting the kids off to school, the little two and I went to church for a woman's group get together. It was nice to just hang out and visit with other women. It gives me kind of a boost for the weekend.

After that things weren't too eventful. I had to take my youngest in for his immunization shots, so after that we just came home so he could sleep.

When the two oldest came home from school, we had to go to the Cub Scouts Pine Wood Derby race. My sons car wasn't heavy enough so it didn't win. But we learned for next year. I felt bad because before my husband left, he started the car but didn't finish it. I don't know much about pinewood derby cars so I did my best with our son to get the car done. Better luck next year.

So, I sit here tonite with the kids all asleep watching tv. It has become a "killing time" thing to do lately. I have at least 12 months left until my husband comes home from Iraq. He has been gone 2 already. Possibly his tour is extended to 15 or 18 months. We don't know yet. So I keep going, and waiting. Looking outside, wondering if he is thinking of me or missing me. The days are going fast but the nights are too long. I miss him!
