I hope I'm not really getting "used" to this....I don't want to

Unfortunately, even though Chuck is MILES away, life goes on. This week we have conferences, 1 down, 1 to go....Sam had his 15 month office visit, with immunizations, of course. I'm in the 5th week of my 8week term for classes, so I've got lots of things to do....I think Sam broke the mouse for our main PC - he keeps chewing on it, and I found it under his crib....(it's wireless)....and I think the laser's broke in it. I think it needs a pager, too, because it took me 2 hours of looking around to find the darn thing! At least he's sleeping through the night, now...he's asleep by 8:00, but he's up at 4:07 ON THE DOT!

Anyway.....Chuck's called me a few times when he's had time. He doesn't call too much while he's driving because his earpiece doesn't fit well so it's really uncomfortable to talk. Last night he was parked in Columbus, Ohio. He is on his way to North Carolina, just south of Greenville , I thought I heard him say. He said today will be a full day of driving, it will take the full 11 hours he has to get there. He's allowed 14 hours on the truck, including loading and unloading, gassing up and stopping. He said it's been raining the whole time since he left on Monday morning. But look, honey, the first week is almost done! His anticipated day home is November 9th. They told him he has to be gone at LEAST 14 days. That part stinks. I'm a single wife! I dont' get much adult contact, so feel free to call or visit. :) Sam's fun, but he doesn't speak words.

Anyway, we're getting ready for Halloween...the kids' costumes are cute. I haven't decided if we're going to go out or just stay home, but they don't have school on Friday, so we might do some early trick-or-treating that day!

Have a great weekend everyone - I'll update next time I hear from Chuck!

Over and out
