Got a call from Chuck, today...FINALLY. He's on his way to Nashville. His load left late yLooesterday so he spent the night in Iowa. Said he frozLooe because he couldn't figure out how to turn....."something".....on....I didn't catch that word in the conversation. It couldn't be heater, because he's smarter than that! :) It got pretty cold last night, so I'm sure it was uncomfortable...the bed in his rig is like a twin bed covered in vinyl with sheets on it. It's SUPER cozy (sarcasm)...! He was cut-ting-out-e-ver-y-w0rd-was-like-thi-s. We so value what little conversation we get, huh? :) At least I know he's moving, not sitting...and he hasn't gotten into a crash or anything. Funny how our minds go to the worst possible scenario! At least now that I've heard from him I can think about other stuff...my brain doesn't let anything else in until I KNOW everything's okay. He's just now starting to understand. Sam and I have been hanging out, today - he was up from 1-4 again last night. I'm waiting for the day he sleeps through the night...and we were rocking in the chair....and he threw up on me....nice. Gotta go change my shirt. Marco's home sick, today....but not sick enough in my opinion. I think he's just wanting some time with his mom.....awww. :) I think I'm finally coming into my own with this thing....thanks to Joann and Susan who both had some GREAT words of wisdom, being much more experienced than I at being a trucker's wife. I have to go put Sam down for a nap and take care of some bills....woohoo. I know you wish you were me! :) Over and out....

I'll be here waiting
Waiting for that next ring of the phone.
Wishing you'd say you're coming home.
All I can do is wait and be strong,
And pray that you won't be gone for that long.
The kids really miss you,
So do I,
It's nothing new for me to break down and cry.
I know that you love me,
That I'm in your heart,
I know being away is tearing you apart.
Just keep your mind on the road.
Sooner or later you'll find the one that brings you home.
And I'll be here waiting,
With my arms open wide,
And I'll hold you close,
Until you take your next ride.
