4am came excruciatingly early this morning...made breakfast for Sam and Chuck and got Chuck ready to go. His preplan was for Elwood, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. He's called a couple of times today - it's been raining all day (that sucks!) He got to his destination around 7:00 tonight and he'll get some sleep. He's got another pre-plan, but it's only 77 miles away - he was a little disgusted about that, but if you start turning them down they don't call you anymore! You have to take the bad with the good.
We had a really good weekend, but it was really short. Luckily they didn't count the day he got in (Friday) as part of his weekend. The time goes by so fast.
It's getting better...I'm not as sad all the time, but if I ever get USED to this, and DON'T MIND IT, somebody please put me out of my misery.
I have a lot of stuff going on this week...Conferences for the older 2 kids...that'll be fun. Sam has his 15 month checkup and shots, tomorrow...party, party. The older kids don't have school on Friday, so hopefully we can get some yard work done before the snow flies (they're going to hate me). Oh well, who said being a parent was a popularity contest?!
Thanksgiving's going to be tricky...just FYI - he needs to have home time for December 5th for a tattoo party (we have to have that party for Christmas money). So, he probably will not be able to be home at all the week OF Thanksgiving...the next home time will be November 9th - and maybe only for one day...then gone for 3 weeks - so we'll have to just do without him, I guess...this might make me cry.
So anyway, just wanted everyone to know in case they were thinking of making plans. The holidays will be very short. I do want to plan my cookie exchange, again, though!!
